Bit basic, but I think my favorite moment was when we won the 2016 Cup. I had just discovered the sounders a couple years earlier and I remember being so excited for this game because it was the biggest one since becoming a fan. My dad, who didnt really care about soccer before then, watched with me and got really into it too. I remember him joining me just to support something that I cared about but very quickly got into it himself. When Frei made that save, we both went nuts. First time I saw him really get into something other than college football haha. It was just funny to me when I thought about it, we had no idea who the sounders were 3 years prior and we lived on the other side of the states but there we were going crazy when they won. Immediately afterwards my dad bought a MLS champs shirt and wears it for matches to this day.

A close second that actually kinda connects to this is when Seattle came to South Carolina a few months after the championship for a little tournament thing in Charleston. The first day we went, it wasnt too crowded and I was able to walk up right to the rail at the sounders bench before the game and got autographs and photos with all the players. The first player I talked to was Frei, I saw him leaning on the railing talking to some woman and waited patiently to the side trying to not seem too eager. It didnt work as the woman turned and saw me, then told Frei "I think this kid wants a picture". I said "well im 21 but yes please". Ended the event with a soccer ball that I got signed by the whole team after going just to watch the game. I havent had this kind of luck since so I guess I used it all. Totally worth it though

Thanks for setting this up! Im a bit late to this but I think everything looks good and on the right track here. Im very interested to see how it grows! Ever since I joined Lemmy, Ive been wanting to be more involved with the communities more than I did with reddit where I never commented. Ive never been a mod or anything but if you need anything Im always down to learn and help anyway I can! Go Sounders!
