To start things off, I won’t act like I have been following the Seattle Sounders since their USL days and certainly not before that. I moved around a lot as a kid as both of my parents were in the military, the United States Air Force to be exact.
As most kids do, I played a lot of sports. Baseball, basketball, soccer and eventually football. I never excelled at basketball so I ditched that to concentrate more on baseball and soccer but soccer was my true love from the first time I laced up those cheap cleats my parents bought at the local sports store in town.
