Regardless of what happens on Sunday at CenturyLink Field, I'm Sounders Til I Die. We've had the most fun and made the best memories over 11 seasons.
My first ever match, Fredy Montero, Freddie Ljungberg, Sebastian Le Toux, KASEY FREAKIN' KELLER, Steve Zakuani, Taylor Graham, and of course, scruffy Brad Evans. Andy Harms snagged tickets and took us and I couldn't get over how awesome the fans were at the match.
From there I ended up meeting a great gang of nerds, getting in on incredible 2010 season tickets with my buddy Brian (we'll be sitting there on Sunday), and drinking way too many beers. Way too many... You can see just how much this squad means to me and why it's almost unbelievable to be watching the biggest game they've ever played at home together.
There was that time Sounders FC asked me to play game show host in the Scarf Car:
The End has always been behind Sounders FC since Day 1!
My ballerina wife doesn't like sports, but she likes me and loves Pride:
There was the time we wanted to cheer on a friend for his last match:
And that time they let us ref it...
I made some new friends like Kelly who had this awesome keeper kit made for me!
Space Baby's first match was this year
And Jordan Morris made got his first hat trick
I still think my fondest memory besides that first day wasn't even at the stadium. We were at Kool Keith's house watching Seattle beat Toronto on the road in penalty kicks to win MLS Cup!
There are a million more photos of us going to the parade, traveling the following year for the re-match and everything else. What a great run it's been over the last 11 seasons. Regardless if Seattle gets it done on Sunday, we've had the most fun supporting something fun like Sounders FC.
Now, let's see you get that second star!!!
