Sooooooo...its very likely that for the first time Seattle is taking our team a tad more seriously then they do stuffing ballot boxes for Goal of the Week.

And that will inevitably mean some of them will be on here looking for juicy tidbits to discuss over a Birch Beer and also a view about the preeminence of their team as seen by this outlying part of the MLS multiverse that revolves around Cascadia with its hub firmly at KingDome II there in Seattle.

I think this is the perfect opportunity to welcome the people who invented MLS into our midst with a quality discussion of how Seattle is loved and admired.

Allow me to go first with what I think is pretty much the perfect symbol of the supporter heir's to those mighty 5000 who attended SeaDog's games.

This to me is the perfect metaphor for the Seattle Sounder supporter.

Environmentally aware and also made of sturdy plastic.

Easy to crank by hand by management upon command.

Can both suck and blow.

And, of course, that XBox green that is as important a symbol of the team's roots as is the Blue in Blue Jays.


Mind you, I don't know how this thing will operate on a snowy night in December in Toronto, but we shall all find out.


Anybody else?

Yeah, good point.

Pretty much everything that pasteurizes modern life comes from Seattle - Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks. They think because Nirvana came from there, and because they cover their sports teams uniforms with electric green algae, people won't notice.

They notice.

I think it's a region of Seattle (Seattle Sound). At least that's what I gleaned from my half-assed Google Search. The three minutes I spent were more than I should have invested in that team.

"What You Can Do With the Head of a Snake"

http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/dan-savage-love-sounding-artificial-hymens-faking-virginity-fetishes/Content?oid=15152685

"Sounding refers to the insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra," said Dr. Stephen H. King, MD, a board-certified urologist…."Some people, likely a significant minority, derive sexual pleasure from urethral stimulation," said Dr. King. "This includes both men and women. Sounders…have been known to insert a wide variety of objects, including but not limited to catheters, beads, pencils, batteries, drill bits, and even the head of a decapitated snake."

I have been looking at boards like these since the early 2000s. Every team has one, there's usually more than one.

Even that sounders at heart comments section is small beer. 23 comments on the main story re the game Saturday.

When your team is in its first championship game, and your fan base can't be bothered to discuss it, that is pretty unusual.

Not really something I would chirp them for, personally. They aren't the only one's who do it. For instance It's common practice to time and perform a playlist in most east asian stadiums, and they're some of the loudest, most passionate and organized supporters I've ever seen in person.

The problem is that Seattle's songs are mind-numbingly bad.

This isn't right. BolickyBill is used to having his FO fight his battles for him. His delicate Seattle lifestyle hasn't prepared him for confrontation (unless it's because someone messed up his half caf light mocca choca pussy drink at Starbucks) Thats why he is coming across as a mouth breathing basement dweller. He isn't mentally equipped. Don't worry child, it will all be over very soon.

Everyone laughs at you when you tell them Seattle is a cultured city. Your idea of a proper seafood dish is five day old raw salmon smothered in barbecue sauce and served by Guy Fieri.

Your air of superiority towards the middle of your country coupled with your psychotic need for validation from proper metropolitan cities is fascinating. Your state is West Virginia on the coast.

The only time anyone took interest in your city is for a brief period in the mid-nineties when you collectively yelled into a microphone about how depressed you are. Cool.

How can you even banter about the two cities?

One city is regularly heralded as one of the best cities to live in worldwide, the other is a less beautiful, half-assed Vancouver.

The nicest thing I can say about Seattle is it's the thirteenth city I'd most like to visit in the United States. 105th worldwide.

On the bright side, maybe the impending MLS Cup loss will trigger a new generation of self-loathing musicians.

Suicide is a serious subject - I'm sad you (and others here) feel its fair game as banter. It's a myth that Seattle is the top city for Suicide in the USA.
"Seattle has regrettably suffered the title "Suicide City USA" for a long time, presumably because of the weather. Rainy weather equals higher suicide rates – perfectly logical! But the truth is Seattle doesn't even make the top 10 list. According to a study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277953608004425), Las Vegas (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98042717) is the true suicide capital of the US, followed by Colorado Springs (http://www.forbes.com/places/co/colorado-springs/), Tuscon and a list of other cities (http://www.businessinsider.com/most-suicidal-us-cities-2011-7?op=1) that don't include Seattle. Among states, Alaska (http://www.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=05114FBE-E445-7831-F0C1494E2FADB8EA) tops the list."

You think its hilarious to talk about people who die by suicide as if that's a choice or a weakness. I'm sure it has that it's never happened in Toronto. Wait, what ? The suicide rate is higher in Toronto?

I came here to wind you up about football and all you idiots want to do is talk about coffee, the weather, which colour is better, suicide, music, Politics, coastal elites and how your dumpy little fly over city is better than Seattle.

OK I'll bite.

You caught RSL in a major scoring slump, and still barely scraped by them to get in.

Your team has choked again and again in big games, and pretty much did it again against SKC, except the ref bailed you out.

Next you got Dallas, who were missing Diaz and Castillo, and are probably the only team in MLS that are even bigger playoff chokers.

Then you got a Colorado team that was a bit of a smoke and mirrors team, and was without their starting GK.

You didn't have to play LA, who would have doubtless spanked you.

You are missing Dempsey, but he'd been invisible for most of the year, before he went out.

The west is full of better teams. You have fluked it out to get here, and you know it.

· Seattle Pasteurizes Modern Life
· The “fight and win” chant is stupid
· You don’t know what a sounder is
· A disabled guy leading a chant is uncool
· Portland is better than Seattle
· Sounders have shit forums
· You tried to compare other Canadian fans to Sounders
· Seattle coffee is shit
· Seattle is uncultured
· Next Gov will be from Tacoma? (WTF was he getting at )
· Everybody in Seattle Is suicidal
· Your dad committed suicide but it didn’t bother you.
· Oh…..and my Mom is fat (That one is true)




I Said:
· Ozzie will boss Bradley like his bitch
· We will turn Beano field Green and Blue
· Alidore only scores against teams with shit defence
· Giavinco will strain his vagina and be taken off
· Your kit is shit (like Liverpools)
· Your stadium is shit: on par with a High School Stadium

So I went on the Sounders boards at ECS and bigsoccer ... and there are like 20 posts a day on each site.

We get more every day here in the offseason!

Am I missing something? Or does supporting the Sounders not include, like, actually caring?

Forums are kinda outdated.

We mostly gather on newer media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. Stuff like that and maybe SounderAtHeart. There are a bunch of old style forums though if you know where to look. Each has their own crowd and narrative so we're kinda spread out. BigSoccer is almost certainly not a place we frequent.

Didn't help that we lost, too.

And lol @ them outsinging us. Pffft. If we start to lose we'll just get louder like the first leg in Montreal.

I remember it well. I was there.

Same narrative by all the MLS know-it-alls. Seattle was going to "come down to earth in the difficult atmosphere of the mighty TFC." "Expansion teams always struggle on the road." "They'll be lucky to get a point." "The weather will be too harsh for their delicate bodies."

Then we did this... Good times....

With only 2,000 fans (our full allotment)? Don't be silly. You guys are loud and would give most teams in Cascadia (not including the Whitecaps) a run for their money.

Though it must be said that we could certainly hear our chants and songs on TV when you all got disorganized and nervous....and quiet.

I must also thank you for the Canadian hospitality of adopting our Boom-Boom-Clap chant to make our players and fans feel like home. Of course it's louder with 40,000-60,000 people but its the thought that counts this holiday season:

After the many years we played beautifully all season long and even in the playoffs and didn't get this far we'll take it...

As FourFourTwo magazine said: Don't judge us on one night, this was 8 years in the making...
http://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/features/seattle-sounders-mls-cup-title-eight-years-making

Can we both agree the ref effing sucked. I wanted to see a better game with our skill players allowed to play but we did what we had to do.

How ironic that we played a great game of old school Italian Cantenaccio to shut down the best Italian to ever play in MLS?



Enjoy being a 'champion'* in your shitty NFL stadium.

Really? Enjoy being limited to under 40,000 fans by your little CFL stadium.... See, two can play at that game. You wanted bantz... you got it.

I guess most of you don't know our stadium was built as much for the Sounders and MLS as the NFL as it wouldn't have ever been built without the soccer vote...

Read this article..
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jan/14/how-soccer-saved-the-seattle-seahawks


And THIS was the ad that was all around town that got us to vote to build it:

For those who want the details of what happened then read on.

If MLS had kept their promise made in 1997 to have the next expansion be Seattle in 2004 then we might be having a far different conversation.


"December 16, 1997


Dear Seattle Sounder Supporter,


A heartfelt thanks from all of us at Major League Soccer for your support of the recent stadium initiative and for one of the oldest and proudest franchises in North American soccer - your Seattle Sounders.


As you know, with the passage of the stadium initiative, Major League Soccer will be in Seattle beginning with the 2002 or 2003 season. Though this may seem to be a long way off, it definitely is not.


Sincerely
Douglas G. Logan (signed)
Commissioner
Major League Soccer"
http://www.examiner.com/article/twelve-years-after-the-infamous-major-league-soccer-to-seattle-letter




Remember way back when in 2004...…


"MLS spokesman Simon Borg said the league's board of governors and commissioner Don Garber soon would settle on an additional expansion team for 2005.


"Expansion is coming down to the wire," Borg said. "We're hoping to have an announcement in the next week or so."


"Garber was quoted in a June 28 SportsBusiness Journal article as saying Seattle has an inside track in being awarded a franchise for 2005, and that Seahawks owner Paul Allen "is expected to have a significant interest in the team."


http://www.seattlepi.com/default/article/Sounders-await-MLS-expansion-decision-1148874.php


But MLS was hell bent on Chivas USA.


How'd that work out?


Additionally from 2001….before the stadium was approved due in large part to the soccer vote:


"First & Goal agreed to replace FieldTurf with natural grass if that issue prevented Seattle and the new stadium from obtaining an MLS team, or a potential World Cup or other international event. "


http://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Showdown-looms-over-turf-in-new-stadium-1061008.php


So, turf haters, take it up with the league. If the league had a problem with Fieldturf or banned it then we'd have grass in Seattle by legal agreement.


Stop complaining to Seattle and start complaining to MLS headquarters in New York if you really want the natural stuff.




By the way, in 2007 there WAS a group who wanted to build a soccer specific stadium out in the burbs. But MLS was not interested in them for whatever reason:


"And there was the increasing chance an MLS club will call Seattle home in the near future.


A third investment group vying to expand the MLS into Seattle has emerged. Atletico Seattle, fronted by California investors Larry Kosmont and Nevin Sanli and former French soccer star Frank Lebouf, is deep in negotiations to own an expansion franchise in Seattle. The group is in the process of investigating eight $


Kosmont declined to say far the negotiations between Atletico Seattle and the MLS have advanced, but, like Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer, anticipates an announcement soon.


In addition to Atletico Seattle and Hanauer, a third group led by California investors Michael and James Keston has sought investment in an MLS franchise in Seattle, and a fourth individual investor appears to be in the lead."

They only play the hits.


Each one done at precisely the same minute each game.


There are only three chants/songs we do at the same time every match.

The Boom Boom Clap at the start of the game.

Roll On Columbia, Roll On in the 12th minute marking the moment Fredy Montero scored our first MLS goal (Like your Dichio song)

Sounders 'til I Die in the at start of the 74th minute to mark 1974 the year our club was founded.

That's it.

Only in Seattle.

Show me any other major team in the world that doesn't have a forum or forums as the locus for serious fan discussion.

Since we tend to be ahead of the curve when it comes to tech let me just say, it's not my fault if you're behind. We're already on Web 3.0.

I am actually kind of interested in this, but just can't get engaged today.

"Broadcasting" on FB, twitter, snapchat and IG is not Web 3.0. It's not discussion either. You have a unique/bizarre supporters culture if it's only happening on those platforms.

btw re Seattle, there are a couple of hundred people on Seahawks.net as I post this. Who are you kidding?

They have good visuals, but a lot of that is paid for by their FO. They also sound good, but typically because their scoreboard tells them when to cheer and thy hire musicians.


So while it looks and sounds good, it's not authentic. Can't give them any credit as a result.

Not true at all.

Scoreboard has never told us to cheer. We were cheering from the first minute we were in MLS.


ECS itself is full of a lot of professional people who make plenty of money so they have no problems with the tifo fund.

I can't think of any tifo the front office paid for other than a couple card displays the front office did on their own (with ECS consultation through the Alliance Council of course) But then again Barcelona and Real Madrid often do the same. I don't count fulll stadium card displays like this as supporters tifo but they do enhance it.

In any event keep with your plastic narrative, the fact is our front office has said they learned from you guys before we entered MLS to let the supporters take the lead on chants and displays and we always have since DAY 1.

We wouldn't have it any other way.

The plastic narrative is old, like when people said back in 2009 we were all Microsoft employees who were given free tickets. Conspiracy theory nonsense started by ACES (remember them)?

All that smack was for pregame.

In terms of being able to bring it in numbers, it's only you, us, Portland and maybe Montreal. KC and Vancouver at the margin. It's not a big list.

No real reason for us to get in each others grills. The "Fun and Win" guy, well, we have a few guys like that too. It all goes with the territory.

Oh, when everyone was telling you all would win. Ok, I get that. But you did ask for it.

We never opened a thread for you lot to come here and gloat before or after the game. Clearly you were kinda obsessed with some friendly banter before the match. Its ok, we were too busy trying to organize flights to T-dot or viewing parties.

I agree.

For the record I used to visit my relatives back east in the summer as a kid and they used to take me to Toronto often (upstate NY). We'd go up and stay at the Royal York and sight see and stuff so your city has a special place in my heart. I would have been upset had we not won but I'd feel a lot better if we had lost to you guys knowing how much you've had to endure while we made the playoffs every year than had we lost to some team like Columbus with their disdain for capos and proper football culture.

I bet it really confuses sounders fans as to how they're so vehemently despised by the rest of the league while they're Cascadian brothers to the north and south are held in high regard.

Not confusing at all.

Seattle is the cultural center of Cascadia (if we ever gained autonomy/independence) and capitals are always hated because they are the center of culture, diversity and fresh ideas. People who live in capitals tend to be proud of that fact. Same reason Toronto is hated by most of Canada and say you're arrogant.

You're close to Ottawa and are the financial and cultural capital of Canada.

We're close to Olympia and are the financial and cultural capital of Cascadia.

We're both hated by our nations so in that we have something in common.

Nothing brings MLS supporters together like a mutual disdain for Columbus. FYI - this thread never existed for "gloating". It existed to confine all pre-match tweaking (in either direction) to one thread.

Anyway - I imagine this doesn't even need to be said, but now that the game is over, from a moderation perspective this thread is going to exist on a bit of a knife's edge. If it devolves into post-victory flamebait from Sounders supporters, and TFC supporters angrily responding, it will be closed. I'd imagine some nerves are still raw after HOW we lost, so I'm just putting all of this out there for everyone.

You're right we should have gone with the Liverpool Kit! And called ourselves FC. Hmm...opportunity lost

Considering..


We were almost Seattle FC (and the reason we got FC was cause Sounders and FC were both tied in the name vote so the front office gave us both) we should be careful here throwing that stone...

We'd never wear liverpool kits. Wolfsburg yes. Liverpool, never.
