The Pacific Northwest has a really bad collective case of soccer fever. The Seattle Sounders average attendance has been 36,000 strong. Games are a blast. I have had season tickets for the past couple years. There is nothing worse than not being able to make a Sounders game, as was the case this weekend because Tara and I were hosting a party for a good friend who just had a birthday and just kicked cancer.
The silver lining: passing on my tickets to my staff and getting them pumped for the beautiful game. It is even more of a pleasure when I can plant a soccer-loving seed in the youth. Sorry Ryan, but it is looking like your adorable son might grow up to be a rabid soccer fan (with baseball as a close second) 😉 How can you not love the beautiful game when the live matches are so exciting to watch?
Bryden is FIRED UP and the game hasn’t even started yet.
But, soccer isn’t all chanting and cheering … it is also serious business 😉
GO BRYDEN!
