Passion. No fake. Not manufactured. Real. Unscripted.

[@josevalenzuela3477]

Seattle Sounders... the club with the worst chants of all time

[@nailahsaquee6719]

Go Sounders!!!💙💚💙💚

[@ebv1998]

TFC could but what sets Seattle apart from all the other clubs is that they have been great where as some teams haven’t been in the past. Sounders have made the playoffs every year of their MLS existence, they will win back to back MLS cup’s

[@liamurray23]

Emilio Valderas ha funny

[@jdolew]

this prediction is now fake news

[@LafayetTheAwesomeOne]

2019 3-1 :D

[@PNE2611]

Bobby Moore played for Seattle Sounders the greatest English player to have ever lived ... They have more history and identity then anyone else in the MLS

[@raimarulightning]

Preston North End That feels like a very, very selective memory. For God's sake, the Cosmos had Pele and Beckenbaur. If the Cosmos were in MLS, this wouldn't even be a discussion, as Cosmos has more history and Atlanta has more fans. LA have far more titles too.

[@Bikinirubdown]

Quakes had George Best :P

[@anthonylong9067]

Preston North End this was in the NASL days.

[@stevenygabbyperez695]

Yes and thats a good thing. More successful clubs means more the league will continue to grow. Look at the attention Atlanta is bringing to the league. I want a league with more of that not just one or two teams with success.

[@tinanguyen7179]

Seattle should support their women's soccer team

[@allanrose2964]

2017: Seattle is RAD!! 2018: Can Rest of MLS Catch up to ATLANTA???!!! Seattle passe now in one short year per MLS.

[@KaviAck]

Umm, hello? You have Atlanta!

[@VinnieBoombatz374]

Seattle is the most progressive city in America, it's a model for the future, and not just in soccer.

[@trifecta9810]

LOL... that was awesome. Thanks.

[@josecerrato2456]

Parecía que nadie superaría a los fans de Sounders, pero luego llegó Atlanta United.

[@anthonylong9067]

Can an MLS team catch up with seattle? Let me know when they have their own stadium and not play in an NFL venue

[@DanielMothers]

Atlanta play in their NFL stadium

[@OriginalPuro]

Sad fact is, when that one guys kids grow up and search the internet for football, they will search for soccer and never find players like Pele, Maradona, Ronaldinho, CR and so on.

[@mcgoldrickandmcsilvermorty3280]

I wish video had subtitles

[@David-ms6si]

TFC fans passing by be like, yup. it was pretty easy too.

[@LafayetTheAwesomeOne]

2019 was also pretty easy, I guess ;)

[@nightfall3332]

Sounder’s!!!

[@4Paczjkor]

Not even a Sounders fan, for all the people saying TFC are dickriders, I don’t remember TFC being relevant the pass decade is or have fans attend their games until 2015 where all the closet fans realized TFC became good. TFC has no passionate fans it’s that simple. Also don’t give any ATLUTD excuses either because they been here for one season and they have a bigger stadium than the other MLS teams.

[@adamgage3770]

so much truth

[@ExploringToronto]

Toronto just did ;)

[@carella211]

GO SOOOOOUUUNNNDDDDEEEEERRRRSSSSS!!!!!!

[@Soundproof81]

Precourt, are you taking notes?

[@kevinnoland]

After Altidore's flopping antics versus the Red Bulls I'm firmly routing for Seattle.

[@goatscansing]

lol

[@Nick-xx9wz]

SEEEEEEEEAAAAAAATLE ............ SOUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNDERS

[@HaylonHarroo87]

Toronto is good guys, but Seattle's gonna take it. Seattle's been the best team in MLS for 2 seasons now, and they're gonna prove that by beating Toronto, a DAMN good team

[@rileyparrish184]

HaylonHarroo87 Oh I didn't know Seattle won the Supporters Shield and set the all time MLS points record this year??

[@HaylonHarroo87]

Riley Parrish 😂😂😂😂

[@HaylonHarroo87]

Riley Parrish good point, I’m just saying that Toronto hasn’t even made waves in ALL of concacaf like Seattle has already. They’ve only killed it domestically

[@Tttb95]

Toronto has made it to the semis when they were shit. The only team to go farther was Montreal.... Once again your point is bogus. Seattle have hardly been good these past two years. They've just been clutch and extremely lucky in last years final

[@HaylonHarroo87]

T tba clutch is everything. Smd From the back

[@murraychatauqua]

Why is an ECS drum circle drowning out the dialogue?

[@mothfran]

RSL have it next season. It’s gonna be sounders who?

[@spencerwalton9051]

You should do a whitecaps video.

[@benangelo8444]

Yes they can.

[@zizonor3376]

Yup neagle represent federal way💯

[@liamurray23]

TFC is winning it this year, the Sounders got EXTREMELY lucky last year

[@ec0928]

Luck has nothing to do with it, sore loser.

[@XeroHdd]

Ec09 I say it was a solid 50/50 : P

[@rileyparrish184]

Seattle only has the highest attendance because they happen to play at CenturyLink Field. Toronto would have higher attendance if they had a bigger stadium.

[@ozzimo]

Excuses. I remember the pre-jozy era of Toronto. They weren't even filling up that CFL stadium of yours.

[@Christopher_TG]

Um, they're currently averaging less than their stadium capacity. And Seattle also is no longer number one in MLS in attendance any longer, it's Atlanta United FC.

[@ozzimo]

Christopher G so what? Let Atlanta pay for 7 years and then compare numbers. Seattle was there first and always. Unlike Toronto.

[@ec0928]

This is the exact same thing that's being said of Atlanta's stadium, Mercedes Benz Stadium and yet supporters of Atlanta say they sell more tickets than Seattle. Seattle's stadium is smaller than Atlanta's.

[@PegManning]

Great--get a bigger stadium.

[@lexzone-six9912]

Laughs in Atlanta United.

[@Panzer_ze_tank]

TFC!

[@trifecta9810]

Catching up?? What is the criteria here?

[@brightonandhovelad2977]

Haha, I love how supporters of other clubs are out here in the comment section acting like they're as big as Seattle! If anyone is close, it would the Galaxy, and they are pure shite now.

[@Christopher_TG]

Someone's never heard of Atlanta United FC.

[@brightonandhovelad2977]

Christopher G Are you idiotic? Atlanta United have played one season, and their fans haven't proven that they aren't just a one season thing. Atlanta isn't anywhere close to Seattle, and the only thing they have on them is the league's highest average attendance. Seattle held that record for 8 whole years, and Atlanta's had it for one. Seattle has 4 U.S. Open Cups, Two Cascadia Cups, a Supporter's Shield, and an MLS Cup which they might get another one of, and all of this has come since only 2009. If a new club like Atlanta keeps calling themselves the biggest in the league, they are going to be torn apart in every damn conversation they are ever a part in. Seattle is way, WAY ahead of Atlanta.

[@PmartN]

Don’t be so naive Brighton...give credit where credit is due. Atlanta is big..not only do they spend big but they aren’t like other expansion teams.

[@brightonandhovelad2977]

Funowning I understand, but if you read my comment from earlier, you'll understand my own point. Credit is not due yet to a team that is yet to play a second season as a club.

[@ChristopherJamesG]

If any Galaxy fan is honest, our team has done alot on the field and with Marketing/ bringing in quality stars; But the fans here aren't like NWstern fans. We have our own style that is more layed back and not naturally crazy. Many aspects are a lil forced. The love for the team is based alot on The Show and The Big Stars.

[@qasino30]

SORRY BUT TFC FANS ARE BY FAR THE BEST!!!

[@felixleggett]

And your answer is... NO!!

[@recorderrage8462]

catch up to who sorry you mean toronto right

[@la_gallada_ruiz9818]

Catch up? They are way behind not even worried

[@ck0767]

A course TFC

[@el1ispog992]

ATLANTA UNITED bruh

[@thegreaterone7305]

Atlanta wins

[@brightonandhovelad2977]

Here's your answer...NO.

[@ChristopherJamesG]

Truth... Its the Culture as well... In LA the fans sit down until something happens, its just how most sports fans here are.

[@brightonandhovelad2977]

sivan ferna Toronto still hasn't caught up to Seattle. I don't know if they are the club that ever will, if anyone it will be a different Cascadia team or Atlanta.

[@brianscalabrine198]

Brighton and Hove Lad, BTW tfc surpassed seattle by far. TFC IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!

[@4Paczjkor]

sharp gamez they win one ring big deal, they won’t be as big as the cascadia teams or Atlanta or Orlando in terms of team culture and atmosphere, when they fall off I’m sure people will stop caring about TFC

[@frankieroti3532]

TFC TILL I DIE🔴⚫️🔴

[@seangalka9219]

TFC obviously did

[@imdevonur]

6

[@antman8887]

😀😆😀😆😀😆😀😆

[@MuhammadAmin-ov4uv]

Yes Toronto fc did by winning the domestic treble the only team to do so

[@MapleLeafistan]

Search Drew Carey in Toronto in KZbin. That'll answer your question. TFC.

[@noahcooper2105]

toronto can

[@ChristopherJamesG]

Seattle is an awesome story. Meanwhile, in LA 20 years later, they (MLS) are dividing our Market/ fans...... Not even a team from the region; like OC Blues... nope instead, Chivas USA The sequel... Trying to artificially inseminate a Derby...

[@PegManning]

Former Galaxy fan here. Moved to Seattle just as the Beckham BS was starting and Sounders joined MLS. Cannot believe what MLS is doing to Galaxy, once the jewel of the league. LAFC? Ha.

[@ianakamrsilly123]

LAFC is going to be much more successful than Chivas for a multitude of reasons

[@benroche3157]

Probably not.

[@miraculous5527]

naw im a portland timbers fan

[@benangelo8444]

💪💪💪

[@PegManning]

Two years ago, we bit the bullet and cheered Portland in the Cup for Cascadia pride.

[@thesoccerman2323]

TFC can

[@HaylonHarroo87]

They probably can, but it matters if you're first.

[@HazeGreyAndUnderway]

how long will that take?

[@killercaos123]

Tell that to TFC last year.

[@larperdixon723]

lol I smell salt from a year ago

[@geoff13man]

Breakwood are you high? Copied tfc? Sounders have been around since 1974

[@liamurray23]

Toronto FC should of won last year, TFC is a far better team

[@ec0928]

Then why didn't they?? Bet you can't answer that.

[@jdolew]

You're so right! Now Sounders fans are crying. Congrats TFC on the championship!

[@Quole1234]

And Toronto completely dominated them from start to finish.

[@VintageRamos]

Catch up to what? 1 Cup and fans who only make noise after they score? Ya.

[@PegManning]

Clearly you've never been to a Sounders game. Need a ticket? I'll buy you one. That's 4 US Open Cups, 1 Shield and 1 MLS Cup in 8 years, made playoffs every year.

[@VintageRamos]

I went to the playoff game vs Dallas last season, sat behind the goal in the supporters section. Was loud right before the whistle for about 5-10... Then nothing until the goals came. I guess I'm just used to something different. Still, much better than most MLS atmospheres. Colorado was horrible and embarassing. LA only cheers when they're winning. Portland and San Jose don't stop winning or losing which is respectable.

[@Diego-ib5zy]

Atlanta averages a higher attendance than Seattle, and Atlanta and Portland have more passionate fans. Probably the Timbers fans are the most passionate, but not by much.

[@timvandehaterd7380]

ADHDiego lollllll atlanta had 1 big attendance. Seattle always biggest crowds

[@nailahsaquee6719]

I beg to differ Sounders Til' I Die!!!💙💚💙💚

[@Diego-ib5zy]

tim van de haterd Your claim is false. According to Soccer Stadium Digest, Atlanta United FC has an average attendance of 48,200 per game, while the Seattle Sounders average only about 43,666 per game.

[@timvandehaterd7380]

Fake news! Seattle is ma city

[@jonpata9869]

ohh god tim van de haterd is stupid.

[@RwandaBob]

yeah atlanta already did

[@majinbuu1135]

win something first... then talk

[@DontTouchMePlz]

Sorry but culture isn't created in one year. What ATL have looks special but be patient and wait for it to fully develop and quit trying to compare them to Seattle. Like I said, it's only been a year.

[@kenpachicg]

Timbers!!

[@bestlaidplans4511]

Kenpachi CG ...are the first team in MLS history to lose to an amateur pub team (CalFC).

[@madi3006]

lol Atlanta can in less than a year.

[@HaylonHarroo87]

That means they'd have to at the least win a supporters shield AND come close to winning the domestic treble (out of US open cup, supporters, MLS, or CCL) Atlanta struggled to even make the playoffs this season. Fall back a LITTLE bit.

[@nailahsaquee6719]

Wait a few more years and all of your little plastic fans will be gone the minute they don't make the playoffs.

[@Christopher_TG]

Struggled? We made the playoffs by a 10 point margin and were a Giovinco free-kick away from finishing second overall in the table.

[@HaylonHarroo87]

Christopher G .......aaaand then quickly fizzled out of the playoffs against a Columbus team they absolutely should’ve beaten at Home in the Benz. (It WAS at the Benz u got shanked, wasn’t it? By Minnesota too?👀)

[@maxw2212]

A Columbus team that hadn't lost in 9 (maybe 10) straight, not to mention hitting the woodwork at least twice. Also we lost to Minnesota without Almiron or Martinez, down to 10 men, with a 4th string keeper in

[@patrickpacheco3954]

Can the rest of the MLS catch up to the sounders? your 2016 championship win was a fluke, Toronto should of taken that and they easily took 2017 from you and they're looking like they are going to take 2018. The rest of the MLS need to catch Toronto.
