Portland Timbers 0 - Seattle Sounders 0


Home opener for last year's USL champions, the Seattle Sounders. Also probably the only game they'll play at Qwest Field this year. I got free tickets, and we didn't have to pay for parking. It was cold, we were cold, and I should have brought my camera. Here were some of the chants, though -

CLAP CLAP CLAP SOUNDERS! CLAP CLAP CLAP SOUNDERS!
CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP SOUNDERS!
F@*K YOU, TIMBERS!
ONE DOWN, TEN TO GO! (When a Timbers player was injured)
WE PUMP OUR OWN GAS! (Washington has self-service gas stations, Oregon does not)

The Timbers brought a large contigent of fans with them, but they were all the way down at the other end of the field, so we couldn't hear any of their chants.
