We went to Fado, an Irish pub downtown tonight, it was part of the events around the MLS Cup final this weekend. It was put on by one of the supporters group and we got a couple of minutes with Roger Levesque.
I’ve been a Sounders fan for a few years and Roger has been a long time fan favorite. He seems to be living his dream, he’s being paid to play football in a town that loves the game and I believe appreciates him and his ‘tash.
He was very genuine in his appreciation of the fans and the way Quest has been an incredible place to play this year.
A question I have been pondering is why am I going to sit in the rain for a couple of hours on Sunday, to watch two teams I have no rooting interest in?
In part it’s an opportunity to show that we care about the game, that this city is bigger than the Sounders. To pay respect to the sport, the league and the players who have given us so much over the last 9 months.
It’s also one last chance to go for a quick pint in Fuel, march to the match and show the world what it means to be part of the rave green army until we start the whole thing over next March.
