The young movement in America has at its strongest example the light of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
A regular fan (ok, not so regular they are always rich businessmen really) can be elected as the
President. They can urge the manager to sign certain players (Henry) and free up funds in order to

I talk soccer a lot online. On forums, through facebook, through twitter, via email. Heck, I do it
at work, on my cell, on the streets of LA at a music festival Recently I was talking to Jason D.
over at MatchFitUSA.com about how some soccer fans like to promote themselves as exclusive and

So I wore my scarf today, and my Emerald Pitch tee, and in reading the Seattle Times blog, I notice
that they adapted it a little bit. What are you doing to grow the sport in this fair city? Have you
noticed people's attitudes toward soccer changing? And Larry Stone as a photographer? National
Baseball [.

To borrow from the impressive five section TIFO from the Emerald City Supporters, last night the
latest chapter in the Seattle Sounders legend started. It started with a March on the Match, the
pre-game celebration, an enormous crowd that Harkes considered on par with Europe, but most
importantly a THREE - NIL victory over [.

Wear the Rave Green. Wear the Blue. Wear your pin, and speak with pride. Today, our fair city, our
great region reenters the top flight of US soccer. Today, an energy drink company will wind up
tired and frustrated. Today, there is a new beginning. One of my group is bringing a radio [...]

USL-Sounders scarf there is one simple thing to do. Wear IT! Specifically this Friday, and again on
gameday [.

Twenty Thousand season ticket holders and equivalents. Sure seems like a lot, right? Sigi Schmid
doesn't think it is enough. He has lofty goals, and they go well beyond the original 24,500 seats
announced. They go beyond the 27,000 that has been hinted at for the opener against Red Bull New
York on [.

There was a rather big announcement that season ticket-holders get to see Chelsea for a very
reasonable price, of basically the price of their standard season ticket. That's huge. This also
means that the best seats in the stadium will be for fans of Seattle Sounders FC and Major League
Soccer. Qwest [.

The United States has made the Hexagonal Round of World Cup Qualifying and quite simply has to be a
top 3 team, a 4th place finish and a play-in round would be completely unacceptable. On Feb 11th
the USA faces CONCACAF rival Mexico in Columbus. Unless you were very lucky you won't be [...]

Doug (fellow member of 214) and I went to the scrimmage. We got there 12 minutes into the first
half and missed two of the four most important events of the day. Since I missed them, I recap
quickly. The First Seattle Wolves Goal. Gareth Waite went down with a blow to the head. [...]

I like the way this team thinks. We the fans are a part of it, it is truly our team. It is a team
that has valued the passion that we have for our region, that tries to connect in ways that most
American teams either don't or can't. Tonight the fan conference was [...]

We thought We sinned We signed I don't want to get into the silliness of that twist on Vini, Vidi,
Vici, but the fact is Sounders FC is doing this right, and they continue to do it in a way that
keeps the fans involved. Sure, the club committed some kind of violation. That's actually OK in my

So I recently discovered that many of you didn't know that I am running for the Sounders FC
Membership Council. I quite simply see the role of the council as a place where fans have a voice,
a method to open up the team to non-traditional marketing (I call this soccer evangelism), and to
