I've been following Seattle Sounders from Ireland for 3/4 years now. One day i'll get to a game in Seattle!
no disrespect but wtf would you support them hah
Why the fuck would you be from Ireland and choose to be part of an embarrassing fan base like this
Hey bro, it’s been 6 years, did you ever go to a game?
You ever make it?
Hey lad um we got updates remember Garth and Pineda well lad they are dawning the red black and gold for Atlanta United fc
Wow...watching this in 2019 and it's crazy how far we've come since. 3 western conference championships, 1 MLS Cup, and we're playing for the 2nd one this weekend. Going to be a crazy game.
*two MLS cups
@@liampeterson2360 yeah, what a crazy day. I haven't stopped smiling. Today we proved all our doubters wrong, and damn it feels good!
@@hollyw9177 what a game! it was so dope to be there
@@cheef825 you're so lucky, I wasnt about to pay a scalper $300 just to go.
@@hollyw9177 for me it was all luck. my dad shares two season tickets with one of his friends and so we were able to get into the early queue for tickets. seeing centurylink filled to the brim for our sounders was pretty special for sure.
Amazing fans, these guys are the reason we make these docs on copa90, had such a great experience filming it. They get inspiration from all over the world and do it their own way.
You shot this? That's fucking awesome, thanks for doing justice, had chills!
So disgusted with all the comments belittling the Sounders fans in this video…the people love their club, their passion is more than immense, their tifos are great and they stand behind their players no matter what. Football isn't reserved for anyone…fantastic to see the beautiful game growing so rapidly in the US.
People rag about the US regardless
Thank you. One thing I can say is that Sounders Supporters are not, and never will be, bandwagon fans. And it pays off.
Well, they started it.
They thing that's unique about their fans is that they don't turn on them and get behind them even stronger and that's certainly not the case in Europe, really?
Seattle may have pretty good fans for American standards, but they're not even close to the love Europeans fans have for their teams.
@Maximilian Maier what you’re saying is slightly true. With big clubs like Real Madrid and such. The fan bases are probably a little bit more passionate. That doesn’t mean that the Seattle fans aren’t passionate though I live here in Seattle. Sports in general or a huge part of our lives here specially football/soccer. The record for the most fans ever at lumen Field which is the stadium that the sounders and Seahawks play in. Guess which team has the record for the highest attendance not the American football team but the sounders. Don’t just criticize US football/soccer. Because of his reputation it is changing a lot.
@@salemlitt6934 shut up mate you dont know anything.
Once again a big thank you to all in Seattle for their contribution to the video. In a crowded sport market in a very short space of time you've created a genuinely unique and exciting style of support for your city, from the ECS to La Barra to Gorilla FC. It's not easy starting a fan culture in the States, and all of you have done an incredible job getting it this far. Huge potential for the status of football in Seattle over the coming decade, any football fans passing through the city should check it out!
Its funny how the US gets hate from the English and other Europeans for their football/soccer. To be honest I'm very impressed at the fact that there're great fans like these in the MLS considering how much soccer trails behind other major sports in the states. I'm happy to see these improvement so just keep doing what you're doing and gradually the MLS looks destined to achieve greatness as things only seems to get better and better. The USA national team is also known for being entertaining and showing world class at times unlike England who look destined to be forever mediocre. The women are also killin it. You also have many youngsters who are aware of the game and will likely contribute to the future success of the sport. I'm happy for you and I'll start watching the MLS next season and maybe I'll grow to love it as well. They hate cause they're just jealous of how far you've come and the growth is only going to get bigger. Well done to the supporters and I hope to see greater things in the future.
+Michael Matt BPL is overrated, competitive but overrated, Champions league recent years its a very clear prove..
***** england even pass to round of sixteen, loses to costa rica....
Brazil was eliminated for Australia in the confederations cup....so many exemples
+Michael Matt "The USA national team is also known for being entertaining and showing world class at times" lol
Atleast English should stfu because there games are fat middleclass sitting on there arse eating pie. Getting thrown out for standing.
Seattle doesn't even have a population of a million people. That's fantastic support for an American side! I love seeing the growth of football in North America.
xAA7 Blackburn Rovers gets around an average of 25,000 a match in a town of under 100,000 people.
@@slywata7780 what the fuck
2.2 million in king county as of 2017, probably 2.4 million now in 2020.
xAA7 wrong
doesn´t matter wheter they are 1 M or 100k.... wich is impressive their stadium is always full.... that´s awesome
I live in America and I'm Ghanaian and love the hell out of Ghana my country but outsiders have to admit, football is growing in the U.S. It is a bit cheesy at times and I understand, but they're trying to build their own culture here. A lot of Europeans can't seem to just admit it. They just like hate on everything American "Blah blah blah", "they're copying". Cmon now, grow up
I'm more than happy that it's growing, it's just a certain mindset that a majority of US fans have that pisses me off. Met a lovely chap from Ohio who was football mad, and had a really deep and well founded understanding of what it's about and why certain groups of fans think the way that they do. The MLS needs more people like him
@@notactuallytesco we need to make a league thats more competitive. Merge with liga MX and have tiers with constant relegation. 4 liguillas a year. Investors will salivate.
@@yungt7037 I can see that, however i fear an MX merger would grind Stateside football to a halt. It worked with Canada (or at least having 1 or 2 canadian teams) because they were much further behind the trail
@@notactuallytesco right. The league is growing in wealth every year, but the mls is definitely lacking in tactical approach and viewership. This would improve that aspect of it. Liga MX is lightyears more competitive and serves as a very viable domestic league to groom young intl talent. If we can somehow find a way to get the numbers right, get the tv money and allow teams in MLS, not only to have a fatter salary cap, but to compete vs great young talents, we can not only attract better players to the league but also improve our USMNT development of local players. I believe the salary cap should be elevated but also implemented into liga mx sides to not only avoid financial mistakes but also to keep the playing field level. Maybe luxury tax the rich teams that want to spend more. Also Liga MX is getting TV money/Sponsorship money in USD. Its a win win if they can get the numbers right. Maybe increase roster size.
@@yungt7037 don’t you think a league with 50 teams might be to much
As a U.S fan, i can't understand why a majority of European fans of the GAME soccer cant appreciate whats going on here. If you are a fan of the game, you should be happy of what is going on here. In America, most soccer fans wake up at 7:30 in the morning on their days off to watch your games over in England and then continue watching throughout the day to see Serie A, Liga BBVA, and the Bundesliga. No need to bash what is going on here when we have supported your teams for years
YOU YANKS JUST DONT GET..THATS WHY..
@@WESTSIDENIA I despair I honestly do. They don't begin to understand.
Lorenzo Cicero-Dardon Go back to drinking tea prick
i dont think hes english m8
Why tf should we appreciate something that y’all stole from us and make it shit with gay flags etc!?
Such a great video and IMPORTANT video to show that the football is growing in the US. Football is a beautiful game and it's important that it's being highlighted just as you did, Big respect Copa90! - SkillTwins.
Lies again? Superman Spiderman
There are always going to be a lot of anti-Americans but when I watched Seattle play on the tele I could hear their fans loud and clear. Immense support.
Come to Europe
@@malukusatusuku682 There you go discrediting the growth of soccer in America. Smh.
@Bzvz Maybe because there's still a group of people that don't take our growth seriously lol.
@@donovandempsey-jones1702 the moment you call the sport "soccer" yes, I'm definitely going to discredit your opinion. Plus, you keep saying "America", you are not the only country in the fucking continent, it's USA, another reason to discredit your opinion; your problem is that you feel like you are the only country in the planet, everything has to be about you. Listen, fuck the MLS and fuck everyone who believes this club is at the same level as the smallest clubs in Europe. You lack passion.
@@JX-jk9qn You do realize that we are literally the only country with "America" in the name....right? I mean, the name is literally United States of America. Almost everyone just shortens it to America since the other is such a mouthful. As for calling it soccer I'd like to point out that it was the British who came up with the word, not us.
Supporter culture = one of the best parts of the game.
Thanks for coming over to our side of the pond, guys!
Cheers guys, exciting times to be on that side! Will be back for sure!
Thanks for understanding the love my city has for the game
"Supporter Culture" only exists in the USA.
In the rest of the world its just called supporting your team.
MLS fans are posers and fake
NewCZcamsSucks. Not every MLS team has this kind of set up, this is unique. Most of us are just normal people supporting their team. Get over yourself.
COPA90 US go check Mexican
Soccer teams
Chivas vs America
Or Tigres vs Monterrey
As someone who moved to Seattle recently, I've been extremely impressed by the city's love for the Sounders. This video really does demonstrate the passion and drive these fans have and they are comfortably some of the best fans in football! Proud to be amongst them.
Sounders v. Timbers...not even the NFL can match that atmosphere.
eventhough i HATE the word "soccer" and i dislike the commercial part you americans love to drag in to this kind of support, i must say im impressed! respect from belgium!
Commercial part? Are u serious? U realize in our sports teams never had sponsors before we adopted the world model for soccer. Our teams partnered with and endorsed certain companies, but the mega corporate ad crazy atmosphere came from u guys lmao.
Sir RageAlot 4 years late but Seattle loves there sport teams eversince the Sonics left
@@Michael_Chandler_Keaton woah, this lad just said he was impressed, and you want to rag on him for the largely corporate showing in your sports which he believes is there? Whilst your TEAMS may not have sponsors, the Leagues themselves often have quite a few, such as the IMMENSE competition for superbowl ads, and the ladder for the NCAA net-cutting
Soccer is a legit British slang term for asSOCiation football. Soccer is the popular term in Canada, America, Australia, etc because there are other forms of football in these countries since early English football evolved into two variations association football and rugby football.
@Gabriel 2089 Yep, also there are salary caps in every American sport except baseball meaning that you can't just buy the best players to create teams like PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City, etc. No team has ever won 3 straight Super Bowl in American football the way Real Madrid won Champions League with Ronaldo and Bale because in American Football, Real Madrid wouldn't be able to afford those players each year. Also American football playoffs is single elimination in every round, so one loss knocks you out, there is no second leg or aggregate. No one has ever gone back to back to back.
It was great to see such a passionate fan culture in it's early days. Not a lot of people get to be involved in forming something like this. Massive respect to the ECS and all the Sounders fans.
The Sounders and Timber have the two biggest and loudest fanbases in the MLS! I’m a Sounders fan, but as much as I hate the Timber, I respect their fan base. I walk and drive all over town, and I see tons of people wear Sounders merch from a shirt to a hat and it puts a huge smile on my face! And Seattle has always stuck to our beloved teams. Heck, we love the Mariners and they keep letting us down year after year. I’m proud to be a Seattleite! Go Seattle! 💚💙
Nice to see a club who celebrates their supporters rather than just trying to squeeze more money out of them. Amazing video!
All these "fans" hating on our much soccer has evolved in the States. True fans of football would embrace it and be glad the sport they love is growing so much all over the world. Thank you Copa 90 for showing the world how much we love our club here in Seattle. Cheers!
You don’t even understand what ‘true fan’ means. You don’t even have the right to declare who is and isn’t a true fan. A true fan would look at how the MLS represents everything wrong with modern football and hate it.
One Life Vlogs how? They show they’re passion, and put all the have to create a unforgettable atmosphere. Don’t be mad because other fans might do it differently. Which it’s not that far from what Dortmund fans do.
@@joeyb3880 everything about the atmosphere is manufactured and fake, in European clubs the club didn't make a designated supporters section, it develops over time like the holte end at villa park or the spoin kop at anfield. They've turned a working class sport into a middle class hobby and tried and failed to recreate a European ground.
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117 If you'd have gotten off your European high horse, you'd have learned that the Emerald City Supporters (ECS), the supporter's section that you seem to think is "manufactured", was established in 2005.
That's 4 years before the current MLS SSFC played their first game.
They'd been going to game after game when the Sounders were a second division club so they were recognized by the organization for their passion and support. There's nothing fake about it.
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117 I bet you've never been to an MLS match.
Since Freddy Montero was Sounders footballer I started to love this team. I'm an Atlético Bucaramanga fan, from Colombia, here we have the football in the blood and we are used to see amazing 'Barras Bravas' and an ambient full of true passion in every match. However, Seattle Sounders is kinda of different than rest of teams from US, I think the city and the people love the football almost as much as others famous sports 'gringos' (baseball, american football, basketball, even Hokey) meanwhile cities like LA or New York still liking these sports and ignoring the 'soccer', as all of you call it. I just love the passionate of Seattle Sounders fans, their Barra Fuerza Verde, their love for this wonderful sport; Seattle makes me feel that a little bit of our passion are in US. Surely someday I'll be there, in your city at the Sounders' Stadium, drinking beer and singing for the colours of that beautiful team. It's a dream that I have to do! ¡Viva Seattle Sounders! :-)
Honestly, by a south american and Atlético Bucaramanga supporter.
We hope you make it out to a game soon!
#LAGalaxy #5Cups
I'll buy you a beer.
Thanks for coming to Seattle!! Come back soon!!!
I like how at 6:24 he says "we're a supporter group that is an antifa group, so anti-sexist, anti-racist, and anti-homophobic", and that wasn't such a buzzword at the time, so no one even blinks.
This was a great video, thanks for posting!!
great vid! thanks for coming out Copa90!
Turned out awesome!

As an MLS fan from Arizona I'm happy to have adopted the Sounders as my team. Of course I'd prefer my own to cheer for one of these days but until that happens I'm more than happy rooting for this team. It's a great fanbase.
Arizona United and come stand with La Furia Roja 1881
colin smith I'm aware they exist but I need an MLS team to root for :(
I might go to a United game or two this season though.
***** Yeah I don't get that either. Considering that MLS has a large share of hispanic viewers it would make sense to put a team there.
+Kratos Aurion Plays support your local team...
***** I will once we get an MLS team.
Thank you so much Copa 90 for putting this video out and showcasing Seattle Sounders FC for the world. Sounder til I die!
8 years later, and it's only gone up.
3 WCF, 2 MLS Cups and a Champions League + Club World Cup appearance (First American club to ever do it.)
Thanks for this really insightful video. Paul
Great to see Eli and his passion for the game back on Copa90.
I think this is a great video especially watching as an outsider from the UK who doesn't really know too much about the Seattle Sounders, will have to come see a game one day... massive respect to these guys
Im from CA and have attended several EPL games in Central London and Birmingham England.I just went to a saunders game this weekend and I have to say the march to match was awesome.The fans the way they coordinate their cheers singing and never take a seat during the game was a shoker to me.Seattle Sounder fans are truelly special.
Frei, you were brilliant this evening..just awesome
I was just watching a piece by Keith Olberman on CZcams ("7 recommendations to improve soccer in America"). I find it interesting that Mr. Mengem has taken the time to actually investigate and report the state of soccer in America (Colorado, Seattle, etc), while American sportscasters and reporters have not. I am happy that Mr. Mengem has visited our fair cities, especially my hometown, Seattle, and can see that soccer has arrived and is flourishing quite well. Maybe Keith Olberman and his fellow dinosaurs should get together with Mr. Mengem and see how real reporting is done. Mr. Mengem series makes for great reporting and viewing.
As a side note: Since the establishment of the original Seattle Sounders in 1974, it has pretty much remained in the city conscious during the rough and turbulent times of the 80's and 90's. Support for the original Sounders ranged from tepid to fair, but faith in the game remained strong with the NASL Sounders, Seattle SeaDogs (CISL indoor), Tacoma Stars (MISL indoor, with the great Preki and Steve Zungul), the "A" League/APSL /USL/USISL Sounders & FC Seattle Storm (WSA). Eli Mengem got to experience one of the premier pre-game environments found anywhere in the world....the Emerald City Supporter march from Pioneer Square to Century Link Field.
Now, if you really want to experience the Emerald City and her legion of soccer fans, along with another passionate site, Portland and the Timber Army supporters, come back over to this side of the pond for a home and home match between the longest rivalry in American professional soccer, Seattle and Portland. There is no love lost between the to cities, and matches the rivalry and intensity of Celtic/Rangers, Man United/Liverpool or Barcelona/Real Madrid. But of course......you have to wear Rave Green!
Love the Seattle supporters and such a great city. We had a private stadium tour and amazing hospitality from the ECS. We even have some fans coming over to support our 3rd division team 4664 miles away. Much love from Tampere and shout out to Sean & crew!
Just thought I'd say I watched this the day before the Seattle Sounders attempted to make history again by attempting to win the CONCACAF Champion's League.
Proud to be from Seattle and a soundest fan, having to take a train from school and see that beautiful stadium is just a pleasure
Its amazing what happend in the US MLS in the last few year's. Greatings from Hungary. Ferencvaros TC supporter. Goooo Green Brother's ,
great interviews and video! Go Sounders!
Great vid! can't wait for the team here in Atlanta!
a fantastic little documentary about american soccer that i didn't know about, thank you
True!!!
People need to stop hating. What makes futbol beautiful is that it's played everywhere. The bigger it gets the more competitive it gets and the more entertaining it gets. Learn to love the game she stop hating.
Respect to the supporters in Seattle from a RBNY fan. We'll see you in the final.
Looking at the comments I can see all there is about the good and the bad regarding football (or soccer) in the US. Most of it is true, but the main thing to me here is that it is growing fast and becoming more and more popular. It seems to attract a more diverse crowd, more liberal and in tune with social causes worth paying attention to, leaving behind the well known stereotypes we often associate with Baseball, American Football and Basketball. In my opinion, it's a very welcomed turn and long overdue. Keep it going, fellas. Cheers from sunny Brazil.
It's so funny when Brits complain about the sport being called, "Soccer", when it was their own people that came up with the name in the first place. LOL!
"Some brits"*
Only some stupid people complain about that.
If you know your football history it was the upper classes and people who didn't like football who called it that. They called rugby 'rugger' and football 'soccer'. The working classes and people who liked the game have always called it football and only football. They've always made fun of people who say soccer, whether they were posh English idiots or Americans.
Sophie Beaumont Okay, but at the end of the day, the posh English idiots are indeed BRITS, as were the working English people.
Sophie Beaumont
Traditionally, all English speaking countries outside of England call it soccer because we all typically have a more dominant code of football we already call football. Like Gaelic in Ireland. Or Gridiron in Canada and the US. And Aussie Rules in Australia. And of course, Rugby (far older than soccer or any other formal code of football) in South Africa and New Zealand.
That's why despite the sport being invented in the English speaking world, no English speaking country has won a world cup in 50 years. We simply play other codes of football.
***** Rugby is not "far older than soccer" it was invented in Rigby school when people started running with a round FOOTBALL in their hands. So football already existed.
Iam am from scotland Glasgow and I support Seattle
I like them because they're sponsored by xbox XD
soflo
Ave Europa na he should support rangers
***** we we'er not abused tho mate big jock knew
Ohh the rangers ir Shite !! Ohhh the rangers are shite 🎶
seems you haven't been to portland. we're a smaller city with a smaller stadium but the support is even better than seattle. no groupon, no plastic fans, no leaving at the 70th minute. no shot at a treble, but we're there rain or shine. i highly suggest you consider spending match day in portland sometime.
The stuff about Seattle being the epicenter of soccer in America is so true. I don't know one kid who hasn't played Soccer here. (Including me)
I've been to many stadiums around Europe and from what I've seen on the internet I think the fan culture in Seattle or also Portland need not fear comparison.
Im afraid to look at the comments. I might see a bunch of negativity from people of different countries
Most of the people that talk shit on MLS are bandwagons lol
+adawk20 i used to say that mate but now i'm impressed!
Most of the negativity are from Timbers and Whitecaps supporters, that's from experience
Honestly I hate Seattle, too. I'm not from USA and I think, most of MLS teams are not nice teams for supporting.
So you aren't from the USA, you don't think MLS are "nice teams for supporting" but you still know enough to "hate Seattle"? I'm curious now why that is.
Great Video! Thanks!
Proud to be a Sounder fan. Although I'm from Minnesota, my goal is to make it out to Seattle for a game this coming up season. Thank you Copa90 channel for the respect you've shown towards the MLS.
I love that MLS clubs have passionate fan bases. Not every club does but a lot do. Orlando City is huge, every other car I see has OC emblems. The stadiums in the US like Seattle seat anywhere from 50k -75k fans. Don't see empty seats and think no one shows up. Some top clubs in Europe don't seat anywhere near that. Btw, DeAndre Yedlin is rapid and could be sick for Spurs
shit I would love to have his job. Going around the world with footbal fans would be fucking awesome. Amunt Valencia!
I'm saying😪 Always Green!!! Sounders🔥
ALL MY RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR ALL FANS OF THE SOUNDERS AND EMERALD CITY . CONTINUE AS WERE PROUD , AND HOW ARE . SPECIAL SALUTE OF A BRAZILIAN FAN !!
Proud to be part of the sounder faithful
Thank you for coming to the US of A, Sounders of course has the best fan base in the country, but look out for our league and teams in the future
Manchester United second team 6-0 la galaxy 1st team
***** same thing could be said about bpl
Joe Kuta
Mikey said "look for us in the future", he didnt say the teams were already great, also it's a pre-season, pre-season doesnt mean shit, that is a fact, look at West Ham' pre-season this year, awful, look at them in the league, pretty decent and doing quite alright. So don't be an idiot.
***** Dan, all of our great players in the prem are from europe and not home grown.
1 3rd of our league is british, and most of our players are average at best.
guys england only won a world cup once after 60 yrs of a top tier football league, cut us some slack, the MLS has been around for some 20 years, we just need the budgets of the BPL
2014 Results: Seattle Sounders 3 - 3 Tottenham Hotspurs
unfortunatly, a lot of european fans be like: FOOTBALL IS THE BEST! EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH FOOTBALL!
americans: you know what, it's actually amazing, we're really loving it now.
europeans: NO!
americans: ?
"Hold on, this whole operation was your idea"
I had chills this entire video
The doc that made me become a Sounders fan. Watching it again some 6 years later and after winning 2 MLS Cups is a tad emotional :')
Seattle Sounders are amazing
I'm a Whitecaps supporter and even I respect the fans even though they're a rival
Football is about respect. No need to start hating the other team or the supporters just because. In Europe some of the rival supporters have hated eachother for ages, and the reasons are bigger than football. involving (politics, losing jobs to the rival teams town back in the day etc.) It's always something bigger, than just rivalry. So keep up the good spirit and respect.
You have a great team with classy supporters, you have our respect as well.
Thank you.
Cascadia fans > any other fanbase in the country
Thank you Copa90 for showing off the Seattle sounders! You should check out Detroit City FC in Michigan in the Summer!
It's really uplifting to see that football and the football (and ultras) culture is growing in the US! Keep it up guys!
"FIGHT AND WIN."
"COME ON, SEATTLE."
Seattle Pride :D
Atmosphere wise, good job! I think what makes football/soccer special are the fans, really.
If you guys wanna come down here to Portland to see the trophy presentation fell free to join us. It would be a new experience for you guys.
Nater 838 huh you look like a Bayern support my bad you're a plastic Portland fan
Nah, we'll stay here in Seattle and admire our own trophy. How about you come take a look at it on Saturday? lol
great fans! sorry for my ignorant fellow europeans and for bad english
2:34 - 2:36 IS THAT AN OPERATION IVY BANNER!?!?!!? That's it, i'm following american football now.
That's my uncle, Allez Mon oncle Frank MacDonald! He speaks the truth and he is someone that people really need to pay attention to. Thank you Copa90 for asking him these questions, he knows his stuff. From France!
#KICK2COPA
Much love and respect from Washington state. Love what you guys do. Copa90 and Kick TV are by far my 2 favorite CZcams channels
I wish Toronto was like this... Instead Montreal out chants us in our own pitch
I want to also point out that immigrants who have come into America from Europe and South and Central America have also done fantastic things to grow this sport here in America.
The african and asian immigrants as well
@@yungt7037 no offense but the asian football culture is a joke
@@tschavalala yeah but they come here and some of them qre pretty good at football
@@yungt7037 really few but ok. I dont know lots of good Players from asia, just Japan, the rest is a joke
@@tschavalala Korea and the middle east ppl. Its definitely not the powerhouse of football. But they have a few good players.
Your support is really passionate reminds of upton park before it was made allseater keep up the loyal support!!
i'm glad that THIS is going on in the US & that there are so many people that like, support & understand football
ITT: Europeans/South Americans treating the word "soccer" as if it were the n-word.
CONCACAF Champions baby!!!
This is great to see!
love this fan base and this sports town... big niner fan that respects this fan base
Very Nice Coverage.. You Guys Better Believe MLS is on the COME UP!!
The comments about bandwagon fans and remarks about the stadium not being full are funny coming from Europe, where there are a lot of famous clubs who only get their stadium full for derbies, but for a typical league matches the attendance is much lower, just a few thousand in some cases.
And to the people quoting attendance numbers, the Sounders had an average attendance of 43734 in 2014. According to Wikipedia, in the 2013-14 season there were just 23 European clubs that had a higher average. The attendance for the Sounders match featured by Copa90 was certainly a disappointment at just 38912.
And as for Europeans complaining about Americans copying the culture from Europe, well, where did you copy it from? From another European country, of course. It is not like this culture was born everywhere in Europe simultaneously. And of course you all know full well that in Europe, too, a lot of the same songs are sung by supporters of different teams (usually with their own lyrics, obviously). Of course some groups have original songs as well, and songs that other groups do not do but so do the supporters in Seattle.
In U.S. I must say that this is the best supporter in MLS. (50:50) with Chivas USA.
Seattle was great city. Everyone talk about football and very excited about this. Recommend this city for watching Soccer err.. I mean Football.
This video truly gave me tingles
"The fans get behind the team no matter what that's certainly not the case in Europe" ....XD
I love when people say "It's football, not soccer" like that is some sort of insult towards Americans. The word soccer comes from England! And what is that show Jeff Stelling hosts on Saturdays again?
I was born in Seattle. It is such a great city. And where ever you go you see seattle sounders and sea Hawks flags everywhere if there is a Seattle anything game on restraunts are filled. And fans are just having a good time, GO SEATTLE
They are fantastic fans.
SO proud to be a sounder! We have some of the best fans in the world
i smell gloryhunter
In America? Sure. In the world? No.
HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH!! Are you high or something?
Best fans in the world? A lot of teams have scraped bankruptcy and have been revamped by money from the supporters own pockets and they still turn up and create an explosive atmosphere every game whatever the score. This is football passion. USA aren't quite there yet
Emile Heskey your username is Emile Heskey , You have no right to mock another football fan

rams8 copying everything
Awesome video
Great video!
Agreed!!!!
How can anybody get excited about a league in which nobody gets relegated and nobody gets promoted?
+Tom Wray its about winning the league or progressing towards winning it
theres also the match day experience etc
most leagues in the world sees 2 teams fight it out for the title. its the same 2/3 teams tat win the title in every country in Europe. its also the same cubs that get relegated promoted.
ost of us dont support barca or Bayern etc.. but we support our local clubs and hope we can one day win it or come close. may seem dumb to you but there are millions of football fans who would disagree
I dont get excited about certain genres of music, other sports but I understand why others would be attracted to it as thats their thing
+Tom Wray Very true
It's not needed. The way that American sports are run, everyone gets their chance.
+Gavin Begg Supporting your local team? Lol how's that even possible in MLS. You don't have a clue
Conal Quinn very simple, i used to live in harrison, new jersey, where the new york red bulls play, so i support them
Loool they stole their chant from Millwall 'No one likes us, No one likes us and we don't care we are Millwall super Millwall we are Millwall from the den'
greetings from a Sounders fan in Rotterdam, Holland
I'm a relatively new soccer fan, and not from Seattle (from New Jersey), but man oh man are the Sounders a fun team to watch, especially with their incredible fans, makes me want to go out and see a match sometime. One thing I wish the MLS would do is add at minimum 1 more DP slot, there are so many teams with incredible ownership with a boat load of cash that would for sure bring in many more high quality players to the league (Toronto FC, Sounders, NYFC, Orlando City, Galaxy, Red Bulls, Sporting KC just to name a few) The could easily afford another big name player or even two and not miss a beat financially, it would add a lot more talent to the growing league that is already in my opinion one of the top 10 leagues in the world.
Doesn't matter whether u want to call it 'soccer' or 'football', whether it is 'MLS' or 'EPL',,,,show some SUPPORT in this game !!!!!!!!
Mls is championship standard I'd say
Nothing to be ashamed of with the very tight salary cap.
Respect from a Malmö FF supporter.
My soccer club is affiliated with Seattle and I got a Signed Jordan Morris Jersey! I love the SOUNDERS!
