Inaugural Game

March 19th 2009 – What a day! The Seattle Sounders FC won the inaugural game against the NY Red Bulls. My husband and I are huge soccer fans who grew up playing this beautiful game. It was so thrilling to be at the game sharing our favorite sport with our son. For those of you who either love soccer or are even a little curious I strongly encourage you to attend a game. It truly is a spectacle to see. The skill it takes to control a soccer ball with precision cannot be measured. And with a personal bias, I urge you to go just to watch Kasey Keller in goal. He is arguably one of the best with 100 games in goal for the US National Team holding the record for most wins and shutouts. Of course my camera came with me to the game – enjoy the images. Go Sounders!

This is what my husband and I would imagine a serious European soccer fan to look like – his eyes never left the pitch.
