I was grabbing lunch at a Barnes & Noble cafe yesterday just south of Nashville and the guy behind me had on a Fire jersey. We got to talking about MLS and the barista overheard us and told us he was a Galaxy fan. I'm just glad I waited to tell him I'm a Sounder fan until after he made my drink.
Houston Dynamo jersey in the Portland Marathon. I ran with him for a few miles and chatted. Fellow BSer who announced he was doing this over in the dead Timbers forum.
How's this for obscure: In the 9/30/11 episode of Windows Phone Radio, one of the hosts talked about how he was selling the concept of Windows Phone to the girl next to him on the plane. He was coming back to Seattle from a business trip to New York, and he explicitly said she was the biggest Timbers fan he had ever seen; she was coming back from the Timbers-Red Bulls match, saying how it was rare to meet a Timbers fan in "Sounders country" etc etc.
On campus today in Moscow, ID: guy in our pickup game with a sweet long sleeve DC United warmup jersey, and a guy walking on campus wearing an Earthquakes jacket. Never seen either team represented on campus, so it was odd to see both in one day.
likewise, id see the same 3 people when i was on campus at San Jose State sporting RSL gear. It made me wonder if they knew each other, but it was rather odd, since I'd only ever see them in their distinctive areas of campus.
Saw two guys walking around downtown Colorado Springs today taking pictures and stuff. They were wearing Rapids jersey's.
At Temple Billiards (in Pioneer Square, Seattle - just north of CenturyLink Field) before the match today, amidst a sea of Sounders jerseys, I ran into a guy in a '96 Mutiny home kit. He said he was "from Chicago and just trying to blend in." I had to complement him on his camouflage - if I hadn't seen these shirts (with their mutant-bat logotype) in person during my college years in Florida, I probably never would have noticed him in the corner.
Got some neighbors with some DCU seatbacks in their truck. While walking the dog, saw a guy wearing a TFC jersey
Apparently someone wearing a 2011 ECS shirt was spotted in Las Vegas on TLC's Sister Wives. The guy was at a lamaze class with his wife/gf/babies mother while the show was filming there.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/oct/18/thierry-henry-kasey-keller-david-beckham Yes, just a news article, but this is the first time I recall seeing an article in the Guardian that is actually about the league and teams instead of just speculating what Beckham's (or Keane's) next move will be.

Watching The Rebels of Libya from VICE. Fast forward to 20:59 of clip and listen to this kid's american dream. http://www.vice.com/vice-news/the-rebels-of-libya-full-length
i think we've already written the whole episode somewhere over in our threads. Hooligan, crack heads in chester what else do they need?
I did feel a distinct "beware of carjackers" vibe while driving between my highway exit and the parking lot on my trip there last year.
I was at EPCOT this saturday and saw 2 Philadelphia Union jersey's and 1 Sporting Kansas City polo shirt.
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...-preview-the-new-seattle-sounders-fc-app.aspx Pretty cool how Microsoft is pushing the Sounders app, makes sense given the proximity and sponsorship though. And for the record I am classifying this as 'everyday life' because I visit the blog once in a while.
