Seattle Sounders vs. Houston Dynamo

Our very first soccer game with Jason. Soccer shirts, (blue) cotton candy, pop corn and lots of cheering. Jason got into it though he got tired towards the end of the game. It was a lot of fun for both of us!

And on top of it the Sounders won 2-1. Both goals were great. Actually the second one, scored by Patrick Ianni on a bicycle kick was amazing. No accident; The guy lowered and positioned his body perfectly to take the difficult shot (right in front of us!)
