Yay! The soccer season is back and that means the return of the Sound Wave. We had tickets for the opening game, Sounders vs. Toronto. Sounders had been thrashed in midweek by a Mexican team so the omens weren’t looking good. But to be honest it was seeing the Sound Wave again that was more important that watching the game! And it wasn’t disappointing, they had new material and everything! (not sure what the everything is but they definitely had new tunes!). Including this one, which is now up there as one of our favorites:

After listening to the Sound Wave we went up to our seats, which weren’t in Club, much to Harry’s disappointment. We prepared the boys for some foul language as it was St Paddy’s day and there were a lot of green, drunk Seattle fans about. After the opening day parades, flags and fireworks it was down to the national anthem and soccer. Harry found the whole anthems and raising your scarf for kick-off rituals a little bit inconvenient as he just wanted to stuff his face full of pizza:

At half time Harry managed to get his hands on some St Paddy’s flashing glasses which he was rather pleased with:
He particularly enjoyed wearing them in the car on the way home as he danced in his seat to the music and created a one boy light show.
Despite getting a mid-week drubbing, Seattle didn’t let us down and they beat Toronto 3-1, so it was a successful soccer day all round, as Harry and the Gunners had won 11-0 earlier in the day. One more goal for the Stickman, 5 so far for the season.
And if all that wasn’t enough, with Seattle scoring 3 goals it meant free haircuts for everyone! If only they hadn’t let one in, then it would have been free haircuts and free taco’s for all. Only in America!!
