I went to my first professional Soccer game last night and I LOVED it!!!  Let me tell you Seattle Sounders fans are the craziest kind of fan EVER!  Now I love me some NFL football and I think Steelers fans are pretty amazing, but they could take lessons from Sounders fans.

-As the team was introduced the announcer only said the first name of each player because the entire crowd yelled the last name of each player.

-12,000 + people sung the National Anthem and didn’t mess it up.

-12,000 + people stood for the ENTIRE match!!

-12,000+ people knew the words to ever song and chant and were singing and chanting the ENTIRE match!

-Soccer fans are Hard Core when the refs mess up or there is an injury to an opponent.  No sympathy and profanity is apparently a necessity. 

I have never experienced anything like it, and let me tell you I’m hooked!  The Sounders won 1 to 0.  Even though there was only one goal scored it was constant non-stop action the whole time.  I was jumping up and down with excitement the whole 90+ minutes! 

I can’t wait until I get to go to another match!

Finally a home-town team I’m proud to be a fan of!!!

Our seats were awesome!!!  This picture was taken from our seats.
