Open Sounders vs. Timbers gamethread
7:20 kickoff on FSN, broadcast begins at 7:00 right after the Mariners postgame show. LL will be a blog divided during this game.
Here's where I apologize to everyone and admit that I now find soccer to be an incredibly fascinating and entertaining sport. All it took was getting our own MLS franchise for me to realize that. I may not know much about soccer, but it sure is fun to watch.
Also fuck Zach Scott.

I've heard they are chartering a couple buses for the upcoming Chicago?? match at Qwest to root FOR Chicago.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Yeah..their douche fans
I fucking hate you Mariners
I don't know.
They’re excited to get a team and they want to kick up the rivalry. I think it’s hilarious.

They're trying to bring up Portland fans to a Chicago-Seattle game
solely to boo Chicago.
That’s trolling in the extreme. Fuck them.
I find trolling carried out in the real world to be hilarious

There's a difference between trolling and outright instigation
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always drinking, to a Sounders victory.
No...to boo Seattle.

They're instigators
They will start shit and then whine about what horrible fans we are. Guaranteed.

What, are they hooligans?
I’m all for rivalry, but I don’t fight.

They really try to be.
One of the main concerns the ECS had travelling down there. TA were watching public ECS threads to see where the buses were going to end up in P*rtland.

Not my idea of fun. It’s a freaking GAME. Too far.

Well...those are Portland announcers I suspect..trying to hype it up.
They said it was just about our best team we could put out there..then mentioned Montero, Alonso, Evans, and Marshall all aren’t playing. Idiots.

Whoa, I missed that.
Well, Osvaldo has a groin strain, Evans is on Team USA and Marshall, well, maybe he threatened to score another own goal

That's true on Marshall. But these announcers sound like they are trying to hype this as bigger than what it is. Which is technically a bye-week for us.

I've always been more of a baseball fan than football.
But UW football has two in my top 5 and the Mariners are the other two.
You get out of there without getting caught up in the fights?
Sounds like the PDX cops were trying to arrest almost anyone in Sounders gear.
I was really afraid I was going to have to drive down and bail out about 10 south sound supporters.
I have a friend who was not allowed in three bars because he had his Sounders kit on.
This rivalry should be tense to say the least once they join they MLS.

I was sitting with ECS and I only saw one fight break out and four cops literally carried him away.
Outside the stadium it was mostly your typical PNW passive aggressive taunting but inside the atmosphere was absolutely electric. I’ll post some videos on FB soon but the closest thing that I can describe it to was Red Sox Nation at Yankee Stadium during the ALCS.
For those of you that were on the fence, I urge you to go the next time. I never thought anything could top a Seahawks game at Qwest but yesterday did. 2011 can’t come fast enough
P.S. Fuck you to the Whitecaps fan that came down to the game to taunt us.
