I’m the first one to say I can’t stand politics taking over sports - But don’t talk down to Sounders supporters for showing up, however that may look.
Applaud the US support.
Applaud the Sounders supporter.
End of story.
Fucking sick of people making sports political.
The fans who showed up to cheer on USMT in Seattle showed an awesome display of patriotism, but this is what a regular game at that same stadium looks like for the Sounders. Seattle got a lesson in patriotism, hopefully it sticks.
Taking the Seattle light rail after any Seattle event sucks. The city is run by morons.
Have to leave 20 minutes early or hang out for a couple hours after or you’re in a sardine can.
World Cup fan observation:
It was 5-10x faster getting in and out of the stadium in Vancouver than Seattle.
Vancouver had wider security perimeter too.
Didn’t take transit there, but waited 1 hour just to board SB Light Rail in SEA.
And yes, I know BC Place has ~10k fewer seats
This screams “you struck a nerve” 😂
Maybe just have more transparency in quite literally anything you do, and people might trust you more. This isn’t changing any opinions
Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data.
Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.
So where are all the fucking morons at now that we’re saying “The US Government can’t deny people, they are making it political, blah blah blah”
We let a rapist in our country that Canada has now denied… Happy?
🚨 FIFA statement on Thomas Partey left out of Canada.
“FIFA can confirm that player Thomas Partey will be unable to travel from Ghana's Team Base Camp in Boston, USA, to Canada for their first match against Panama on Wednesday, 17 June, as his visa application has been refused by the Canadian government.
"FIFA is not involved in the immigration processes of host countries, including the adjudication of visas. As with previous FIFA events, the host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and is admitted into the country."
Havertz wins a throw-in at +5:12, hands it to Mosquera at +5:25, hands it to Rice for the long throw-in at +5:46.
Win a corner from the throw-in at +5:55. Saka begins to put the ball down at +6:25.
The entire first half. A set-piece clock is needed. 10s
@SnoPUD Really great work by your worker making an illegal U-Turn and driving onto the sidewalk with no regard for the person jogging on the public sidewalk 5 feet from being hit by his vehicle at about 8:27pm in front of the utility station at 132nd and Seattle Hill Road today.
Can’t wait for this summer 😂 The “fare enforcement” Karen’s aren’t a solution to getting people to pay, and just lead to annoyed riders who get singled out and sometimes shit like this happens.
@SoundTransit just make people scan a ticket to enter the platform. Done. Not hard.
A heated incident involving alleged fare enforcement on Seattle’s Link light rail is going viral after video showed a confrontation turning physical at a station in South Seattle. Who do you think was in the right here? 😳🚊 Video credit: J.gooday.beadwork
You'll Never See An Athlete With More Heart Than This Tigres Player Who Survived A Vicious Attack On The Pitch, Laid His Body On The Line For The Club https://t.co/JQG8P0O5aD
Gignac was not booked for this.
Cristian Roldan got booked for talking to a Tigres player who then started a shoving match.
THIS. IS. NOT. OKAY. @TheChampions
Amonestación/tarjeta amarilla a Peter Kingston (Seattle Sounders) por falta a André-Pierre Gignac (quien también termina amonestado por respuesta a su falta); narración de @AgomezlunaM para UniMás/TUDN USA
Now rewind 10 seconds to the referee blowing the play dead after Tigres already took the corner, for no reason. So they get a redo. And score.
Absolutely fucking disgraceful. It’s not even funny at this point. @TheChampions should be ashamed. But they don’t care.
