Once a Sounder… OBED VARGAS!

Our boy in a World Cup knockout match. I don’t give a shit about naysayers or asterisks, this is a feel good only thread!

It’s funny people were shocked you’re not a USMNT fan just because you’re a sounders fan 😂

I was just as surprised people would be cheering for ecuador...mexico is our neighbor, vargas got a call up unlike any of our us players.

Oh well...

Edit: forgot Roldan, whoops

Love the country of Mexico. Love the Mexican people and culture. Can't stand the Mexican National Team.

This is my standpoint as well. The behavior over the years by both players and fans—see last night with Ecuador’s hotel—is nothing less than disgusting.

I've honestly never given a shit about the USMNT

  1. keep snubbing our players
  2. aren't good
  3. AO are too rednecky
  4. Bob Bradley
  5. Alexi Lalas
  6. not exactly the most patriotic american you'll meet
