It is interesting to see the perspectives back then and compare them to now. The first one is from July 2002, after World Cup 02 and before the Sounders opened Qwest Field against the Whitecaps. Adrian Hanauer took charge of the Sounders that year. http://www.seattlepi.com/vecsey/77760_vecs09.shtml The second one is from August 1994 during the inaugural A-League season and after World Cup 94 which took place in the US. http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19940828&slug=1927514
