Tonight in Kansas City (Kansas), the Seattle Sounders FC secured their place in the MLS playoffs. They're only the second expansion team in league history to do this in their first season. (The Chicago Fire did it in 1998). This is tremendously satisfying.
At some point I'll take some time and sort out how I feel about soccer in general and the game in the US, but the point here is that something unexpected and amazing has occurred. We've already got tickets to the playoff game that will be here. Whether or not Seattle makes it to the final (Chicago actually won the cup that year, but there might be a good reason for that), it's still a tremendous accomplishment for a brand-new squad, and frankly has been a wonderful ride for us.
Also, I'm not sure I'll ever actually be able to cheer for Cologne now, simply because this is so damn catchy. (Oh, you want a translation? Fine. If you saw this on my wife's post, I do not apologize.)
