Seattle Sounders

On Sunday I got an awesome opportunity to go to my first ever professional Soccer game! The Scotland Celtic FC was in town to play the Seattle Sounders. Soccer is a big deal in Seattle, so I joined about 45,000 other fans in the NFL stadium of the Seahawks (Qwest Field) for the match Sunday afternoon.
It all seemed very dignified in a way that football definitely is not!

Some Playing...
Penalty kick after the Goalie got red-carded! It was crazy weird. I don't know the rules well enough to understand exactly what was going on, but this seemed out of the ordinary.
Can't say I don't love being in stadiums though :)
An elder from my church in Tulsa, Mr O Hara, was in town on business and came to the game with me and bought me a Celtic scarf! I "like" soccer.
