Barcelona vs Seattle Sounders

Some pictures from the Barcelona vs Seattle Sounders game we went to in August. Yes, August, yes I'm a little behind in my posting. Go with it. Be glad I'm posting, I have three stitches in my elbow. My own fault, decided to hit the ice with my heel, which took Kranki and I down HARD.

So these are the three trophies Barcelona won last year, La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League. They are the only team to win those three.

Photos of the soon to be married, realized that I hadn't actually seen her in 10 years!!! I really need to get up to Washington more often. As you can see they Sounders supporters.

The Sounders fans were very supportive, was really cool!

And some of our more serious attendees...

And someone expressing her feelings about the Barcelona sweatshirt worn by some.

Here they are walking in. I understand the Sounders choose the same colors as the Seahawks, but unfortunately the green jerseys blend into the grass. Barcelona has some funky Mango colored jersey for their away this year.

Puyol running in the front, he was one of the two players I could easily recognize. For some reason I'm a huge fan of Puyol, and I think it is because he has been the captain for so long. Captains are chosen by the team, so I figure anyone that can have the teams support for so long has to be a good guy. Some more serious fans *cough* Kranki *cough* were able to point out every single player, including the new ones that moved up this year.

Here is the other player I could recognize, Messi, definitely one of the best players in the world. Unfortunately he was mostly down at the other end of the field during the first half, and they swapped everybody out the second half.
