Yep, we headed up to Seattle once again for the 4th time this week. We were really lucky to find a parking spot. A lot of the loading decks of buildings are no park zones until 6:00 and luckily we got there at 5:55 (close enough). Phew! There was a Mariners game at the same time so I was worried about parking, even though it was a Tuesday and M's games are weak on weeknights.
I think the M's fans were probably like "WTF is going on?" there were US fans everywhere and everyone was dressed up. It was awesome. I am sure they heard us at Safeco. We met up with the Bickmores, which were sad to see that all the places had sold out of scarves. It wasn't a problem though because they gave out free scarves to everyone! Heck yes! I still wore mine that we got at the last US match we went to 4 years ago, but got a free one and even a spare for Sawyer (they threw 2 at me on accident and said I could keep it).
We were at the top section, but it was still an awesome atmosphere and our section stood for half the game. It was awesome yelling "USA! USA!" with 40,846 other people, and they did a few other modified Sounders chants as well like the Boom Boom Clap. There were members of the USMNT that said we were the best crowd they have ever seen in the US! Awesome. We ended up winning 2-0 with one of the goals by Sounders' own Eddie Johnson. It was so fun and we liked getting to hang out with the Bickmores.

| Aunt Karla isn't in it because she said it was "soccer fans only" but she did end up having a lot of fun at the match. Oh, and I'm wearing a sweatshirt with a mens XL jersey so I'm not as fat as I appear in this photo LOL |
