Praise from Sounders fans...
i was just over at the Sounders message board and was surprised to find nothing but good things on their end.
everyone there pretty much acknowledges that we are a great lot (both fans and players) and the MLS was "unwatchable" until we stepped in. we have a great home field and our fans provide great atmosphere.
hats off to the sounder lot.... but come Saturday its all business

Since you created a new thread for this, you could have at least given us a link or something, haha.

ECS board or bigsoccer?
A couple of their leaders contacted us last year. They flew out to attend a game, and sampled the Tailgate as well.
It was good times, and I'm certain we made a positive impression.
To be honest, Seattle's becoming my second favourite team. I know they're only 2 games in, but the more of these types of atmospheres in the league, the better!
i don't have any second favourite team in MLS. if seattle was in a different league, maybe... but I can't have a second favourite, whether Seattle, Chivas, Colorado or whatever. they are all the enemy.
^ i see where you're coming from rocker and I kind of agree. But I'd say Seattle are the team are I would least mind winning the league after us.
And either way, kudos on their fans and atmosphere. I already want to get out to a Sounders game and check it out.
TFC is the only love for me though. COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS!!!!!

That's great to hear! And Seattle is a beautiful city too
it's not hard to see what is happening in Toronto and want to emulate the positives. Hopefully all new expansion teams understand that they need to step up their game. Philly is going to be big, and probably Vancouver will be too. I don't see any expansions going to cities that can't build a good base of supporters.

Any Seattle fans coming on Saturday?
I just read through their pregame threads. Funny how some of them think that we are scared/worried to play them. The one guy has a friend who has a brother who knows Cronin and apparently Sam says he scared to play Seattle. Yeah right. Interesting how quick overconfidence can build from winning 2 games. Losing skids hit every team eventually. They will learn that soon enough to bring them down a notch. Oh well, all the best for them (except against TFC) and keeping their atmosphere going because we need it in the MLS.
Any mention on how we "don the foil" when we travel. (too soon to joke?)
I am in the party of those that says seattle is my second fav mls team ,it is all business they are all the enemy but i do appreciate that we are the ambassadors of a league that existed for 11 yrs without us and only now is it becoming the "expansion to get" come saturday i want to bury that team, 3-0 would be huge, show them that hot starts dont neccesarily mean you can float through the 30 game sched. and playin in the toughest stadium in all of mls it will be a match to remember
It is kind of funny how things started to come together for MLS as soon as Toronto joined up...
The Seattle SG board is actually here:

Seattle has a sweet kit.
Im going to buy one eventually.
This league was in dire need of green.
I don't mind Seattle.
And the LA fans were very gracious when we went down. So I have no ill feelings towards them either.
Most of the league, I could care less what the fan groups are or are doing.
But Columbus I hate.
Hate.
They are constantly screwing up our vibe. They ruined the streamer fun. They are basically racist hicks. And they looked for a fight last weekend for which WE are getting blamed for.
Columbus can lick my balls.
I could care less about what other teams supporters think of us to be honest
There was a remark going around one of the boards that some of the Sounders, those who haven't played in MLS before, are going to be in for a letdown for the first game in LA. Sadly, not all the teams have the support Toronto and Seattle have.
^^ and not the Galaxy, but Chivas USA... even more pitiful support.
I can't wait to go there..
