For me, it was pretty much perfect timing,” said 38-year-old fan @Likkitp. “I went to school at UW during the glory days. I was there for 1990 and 1991, when we were on top and we couldn’t do anything wrong. Then things gradually went downhill. With the Seahawks, we had 2005, but now things are going downhill. With the Mariners, they’ve fallen from 2001 to where they are now. “The Sounders are a breath of fresh air. It’s awesome for me. I played soccer, and growing up, I wanted to be a pro soccer player. When NASL [North American Soccer League] folded, I thought, ‘Oh, well, I’ll play for fun now.’ So, for me, having this team is like coming full circle. It’s easy to embrace.
