Someone has to tell the blogger that the first pic is not the US Open Cup. Other than that, Good luck on Tuesday night Sounders fans. Hope you can reach the final.
The word was passed along. I guess there is more than one "Dewar Trophy," and that led to the initial posting, which was an Auto-industry related trophy. Dewar Trophy, NOT US-soccer related: US Open Cup Dewar Trophy:
My latest blog has videos of FCD's three big stars. http://goalseattle.blogspot.com/2007/09/fish-toja-and-denilson.html The Fish shows us his new ride and crib. Oh joy.
Don't get me wrong Sounders fan. I like that first trophy as well if it did replace the US Open Cup trophy one day. But the proper trophy is of course the man who created Dewar's whiskey.
Gonna be a fun night! I'm taking off work early to make the drive and hopefully beat some traffic. Hope Denilson plays. Sounders 2 - FCD 1
Great opinion article by Steve Kelley in today's Seattle Times: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/soccer/2003869053_kelley05.html This was a special night. At kickoff, the sun briefly broke through the Tuesday gloom. Fans in the north end zone waved Sounders banners, and flags from New Zealand, Mexico, Jamaica, France and the United States were draped over the railing above the field-level suites. This soccer-loving crowd danced and sang, gasped and cheered every run, every buildup, every save and every opportunity. It was like old times in Seattle. Maybe it wasn't exactly Old Trafford in December, or even Memorial Stadium in 1974, but it was the most important Sounders game in more than 20 years and the crowd of 10,385 stayed into it all night, all the way through overtime.
