ironymaidenmy Sounders have had a depressingly bad summer. it began with crashing out of the Open Cup in the most spectacular way possible. then the losing steak that went on and on until Sunday, when we welcomed Obafemi Martins back from the injury that took him off the field in an ambulance two months ago, and beat Orlando 4-0.
(he's as awesome as his goal celebration suggests he is.)
so i felt pretty optimistic about tonight's game vs a Honduran team, CD Olympia. then i saw the lineup of second and third string players. (eight games in the month of August, everyone needs some rest.) Sounders were still playing well, but they were a goal down at the half, and then Olympia started with the "gamesmanship" - timewasting, fake injuries, you name it. everything bad about the Central/South American game.
we tied, and then won the game in extra time. time that was added on because of their fuckery. the winning goal? a penalty.
It. Was. Glorious.
just like Brad Evans in a kilt, holding a puppy.

I miss being able to go to matches regularly! Even though Jon moved to Portland, he's keeping up our season tickets and gives me first dibs. I think he's able to make roughly 50% of the matches. The extra tickets go really quickly on StubHub. I'm only able to make 4 or so a season :(.
