I have to admit I am not a big soccer fan; however, it was nice to watch this whole game between the Sounders and Toronto on television.
Toronto outplayed the Sounders in the first half; however, no goals were scored thankfully. The Sounders had a great second half scoring three goals before Toronto scored one near the end making it 3-1.
The second goal was at such an angle I was surprised it went in. The third goal was interesting because I didn't see Toronto's goalie in live play. I thought they had taken him out of the game for more offense power. It was in the replay where I saw the goal go over the goalies head. Another amazing shot as well.
Usually, I don't watch soccer as we call it here in the USA because I am not into seeing only a goal or two in a game. It was nice though to see a lot of attempts though only four went in.
While watching the game I was wishing the field was a little bit smaller. I am sure the purists would think I am nuts. Also, having a smaller field would be best to see indoor soccer.
It was nice to see and hear 70,000 thousand fans in the stands. Regardless of the number of goals can't have more excitement than that. I was wondering what they were shouting at times as well.
Maybe I will watch more games. I am not sure a whole game but at least the second half when it can be more exciting. Anyway, congratulations Sounders bringing another championship to Seattle. Nice that it took place in Seattle as well. I am sure everyone is looking to next season for a repeat performance. Go Sounders!
