Chelsea FC 2, Seattle Sounders FC 0 @ Qwest Field 07/18/09

Sometimes what happens in the stands overshadows what happens on the pitch, and today's Sounders FC - Chelsea FC match was one of those times. Chelsea FC defeated the Sounders FC 2-0 in a friendly in front of the largest crowd in Sounders FC history - 65,289. Despite the loss on the pitch, nothing could take away from this historical day at Qwest Field. Video courtesy: www.soundersfc.com

@RubberChickenMan75 Good choice. Back to back open cup wins in their first two seasons.

@sedraopamp Seattle by far. In 2009, (their first season I believe), they had 463,455 total fans, with an average of 30,897 fans/game. The next highest team was LA with 306,240 total, 20,416/game average. Compare that with the fact that the average for all MLS is 16,037 fans/game, and you can see that soccer is actually pretty popular in Seattle.

and if you want to improve your league, your teams, first, must improve their skills respect to southamerican ones. Southamerican ones have been world champions 24 times, equal than european teams, the last title won by man utd in 2008. Southamerica = 24, Europe = 24 , the rest of the world = 0 (until now).
