Hey I love soccer, just have never gotten in the MLS. It's all good though. I'm not a huge football fan, but I sure do love my baseball.

This might soon turn into a "Seattle invented..." thread
Can you feel it. The rave green bearing down on you. Hey do we play L.A. one more time I can't remember
Oh, and if we are talking football, when you get to five super bowl trophies let me know.

Yea those are some super duper super bowl wins, I think most were before the internet was invented no? What have they done lately?
Seattle has always been a great place for soccer. We feel no need to apologize to anybody for loving the sport. I discovered it in 1969 as an elementary schooler. Seattle has a large ex brit population due to Boeing back in the day. Great place to learn the game.
Never cared for baseball, usually the coach's kid either pitched, caught played SS or 1st base. Everybody else was window dressing. Started a 7 a side spring league for all those outfielders in my town, ended up with 1200 kids playing 7 aside soccer during baseball season. More kids were playing soccer than baseball during my run. In the fall, we had around 2000 back in the day.
You'll find NW enjoy sports where everybody has a chance to touch the ball, and anybody can be a star. I played Rugby for a decade and soccer for 3 decades. Both sports are better than baseball or football.
Wouldn't trade places with ya.

And as my Chicago Fire gear up for the playoffs . . . they transfer Marco Pappa.
Had an interesting conversation with a friend who is a Man U fan. While I'm befuddled about how Wenger could have transferred Robin to Man U (Real or AC, sure, but Man U???), she doesn't like it because she thinks he's soft. What?? Your team just acquired the leading scorer in the Premiership from your rivals and you don't like it???
Of course, he's scored more goals than the entire Arsenal team so far this season . . .

"Love rugby learned it while deployed with the brits"
Second most played sport behind soccer in the world. And it was a gas for me too. Unfortunately two knee sprains in a 6 month window was too much time off. Great sport, I played in Ireland while on tour and played against the Aussies back here at home. Had a shot at a far east tour when the knees went. My son plays it now in the midwest when he can find time from residency. The second best stress reliever I know. First that is a sport..

Awesome game yesterday. The 89th minute game winner was spectacular. The ref really blew the game couldn't keep the players in line wasted about 6 min in the second half to shoving and ticky tacky plays

The center ref definately was not the best. On the free kick hand ball he never took his eyes off of Montero, never tracked the ball...so he didn't make the call everybody else saw because he may have been the only person in the stadium looking at the wrong thing.
Then a real biggie was not sending off the Chivas forward for ripping the ball out of his hands and pushing him away... should have been straight red and a couple games more. Never seen that before where it wasn't dealth with. Turned the game into a zoo for the last little bit.
Enjoyed the heck out of the win. 6 points back from top of the table. I think 7 games left, still possible.

You can't sell something to someone who doesn't want it to begin with. It is my belief that the Dutch Judas massively misjudged the response he would get when he released his want away statement. I imagine he thought he'd have teams from all over Europe knocking down his door to sign him up.. that wasn't the case. When you have a captain with one year left on his contract who's released a statement saying he disagrees with the way the club is being run and thanks but no thanks for the contract offer, what do you do? Cling on to him hoping he doesn't poison your locker room so he can leave for free next summer, or flog him to the only club interested that had the means to pay for him?
If by soft she means injury prone then yes, she is correct. Last year was his first full season in quite sometime where he hadn't picked up some stupid injury that kept him out for months. The United fans I talk to were more angry that SAF had splashed money on an aging striker rather than sorting out their midfield...
With the 2-1 win over Toronto, the Chicago Fire move into 2nd place in the conference - woot!
This was a brilliant pickup for Man U. They got the leading goal scorer in the league, from their rivals. And not surprisingly, he's playing pretty damn good for them.

Oh my, the Timbers gave up yet another 2 goal lead. Gave up the tying goal in extra time. Sigh...

I watched the whole game, expecting something around a 4-1 loss. Timbers were damned lucky to net two, and the only remarkable thing about the Quakes tying is that they didn't get more. Portland's 3rd string keeper was in total beastmode. Ref also totally lost control once SJ got frustrated.
