As further evidenced by the total lack of recognition given to Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer when he pled for fan support at halftime of that game, Seattle is not full of Sounders fans.
Which is perhaps why last week's Sounders opener didn't make our radar. Or maybe it's because the home opener isn't until May 5th.
But they've definitely started not touching the ball with their hands, we promise.
They lost last season's star player, Cam Weaver, who's now playing for a first-division team in Norway. Their other top scorer is gone too, so the Sounders snagged a couple of free agents for a new front line.
I'd tell you their names, but you wouldn't know them, so why bother?
The Times did a last week. , which may be the most comprehensive blog for any local sports team, covers the road opener, .
Sounders games are actually pretty fun, if you don't mind the cavernous atmosphere at Qwest Field. We swear up and down to get to more of them each year, and we never do, but we'll try again this year. The home opener is, just to reiterate, Saturday May 5th at Qwest Field, from $13-18.

How quaint. I am so glad I cheer for the Timbers. See you clowns May 5.
And by the way, some of us would know who the Flounders signed because you signed one of ours.
Shame that your own fans don't appreciate him.
Hey, somebody noticed!
Lucky for all Sounders fans (and I use the term loosely) they'll get a chance to see real football fans.
For the lot that "drink beer and get rowdy" as Eric so eloquently put it, stop by 113, see how boring it is, and continue on to the visiting side.
Typical Cinder Scout bravado and lack of anything else to do but post about a rival until the welfare check arrives.
Trash to be taken out, after being compacted, May 5th.
Glad so many of them will be on-hand to give the Sounders their $$$ and witness it.
We don't appreciate Hugo?
He's played in one match for crying out loud. Trust me, we will be cheering him on as he whips in crosses to Andre the Giant against scot "softy" thompson!
Sure, you cinder scouts have good numbers.
Nobody is saying you don't. It's too bad you lack class.
Class and meaningful trophies/cups.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaave, (is that enough a's?)
Get a clue, how many childish names have you guys came up with for us? It goes both ways.
You p*rtl*nd guys always talk about how you would like to see us grow, and then you post trash like this...

Lame, just like p*rtl*nd.

right. seattle supports soccer..
that was cleared up by this obvioulsy PRO-soccer article above..
you have no atmoshere and that says something about your club and your city.
I like the part where he talks about 'not touching it with your hands', that is good. it shows he knows something about soccer. but seriously, this is a very poorly written article.
he spends most of the body making clear his disdain for the sport and the team, even stating that the new players are not even worth mentioning. And at the end he invites everyone down to the Sounders games, as if anyone would come after reading this article. what an idiot.
you see, this is why the sounders are so easy to laugh at; because sure, they've gotten some trophies, but even so, nobody, not even in their hometown, likes them enough to even show up for a game! this is further evidenced by the diminutive size of their supporter's group.
