SEATTLE — If the scene occurred in Buenos Aires, London or Istanbul, it would prompt the sort of story you told your friends back home when you wanted to make a point about the difference in passion between foreign and American sports fans, or about soccer’s unique ability to unite and galvanize people.
Except it occurred here, in the United States, in a city that has embraced the world’s game with a colorful fervor that left an impact on everyone who attended Sunday’s MLS Cup final. Fans in Seattle have set a standard that even the visiting supporters worked hard to match (see Real Salt Lake’s effort above) and definitely have earned the right to hold their “No Equal” scarves aloft.
