+UserIsUnavailable soccer has always been popular in Seattle. The last professional league we had, it was this popular in Seattle and Portland. But the league still failed...

Respect from a Benfica Lisbon supporter and big Football "Soccer" fan to the Sounders fans and all MLS fans. American Soccer fans who only support premier league teams you should give MLS a chance and not only premier leagues teams. MLS is not the best right now but it has great potential and some day it could be one of the best leagues in the world. FORçA BENFICA!
+Cesar Almeida Well you won't like to hear this, but as a Sounders fan I've grown to like Sporting :P haha. They have Fredy Montero! Still the only Sounders jersey I own.
+Darren G. never been to a seattle game, but I would still recommend you a visit in europe! england if you want it classy and conventional, germany if you want it big, italy if you want it loud, and turkey if you want it crazy. if you're lucky you might get all of it in once.
maybe the wrong words, but how do you describe a situation where the once so amazing fans now can't afford a ticket? The league is still great, probably the best in europe. but the crowd changed. I mean, when you can call someone cause the guy in front of you cursed, on a football game, I'm losing my mind! All I do is cursing during a bad game of my team. so yeah..how do you describe english football from a fan or crowd-view?
You're right. I'm too old for starting shit with the police. these years are long gone. haha but I want to once see a game in greece. the fans must be awesome.
About 1 mile from my house is the house he grew up in. He still owns it and has a huge pool in the backyard. He used to have huge lesbian parties back there after he got famous "rumor has it" but it sounds legit
he does bring up a good point on the difference between nfl fans and soccer fans. i am from latin america so ive been a huge soccer fan since i was born but ive also become a huge nfl fan over the last 5 years or so and while both fanbases are incredibly passionate, to me it doesnt get better than 60 000 people singing together to cheer your team rather than just yelling. Just something i think would make the nfl so much better
Sports fans in Seattle is one of the reasons I love being from here😂 Everyone's so passionate and always come together for games, whether it be football, soccer, or even baseball. It's great😊
If a soccer team can be this successful in Seattle, then a NHL team could work too. If they brought back the Supersonics basketball team too they could share a stadium. Plus, there could be a good rivalry with the Vancouver Canucks.
+Adam Dunkley I'm more referring to the fact that this fan base is nearing full-on circus status. I'm just waiting for the day when they bring in a monster truck driven by the Seahawks' mascot onto the pitch every time they score a goal. I guess when you don't have a strong history of support, you have to use whichever gimmicks you can.
That Guy All i know is that when i watch a game of City,Arsenal,United or Chelsea i never hear the fans singing all the 90mn not even 10mn (or maybe juste after a goal) but in Seattle they always sing since the first minute, like in Argentina Greece or Turkey so that's why i say thats they are better than the UK fans (sorry for my english)
+Abder Adr Seattle has passionate fans in all sports. Back when they had the Seattle Sonics in basketball, they always had one of the loudest arenas. The same for football, and used to be for baseball as well.
+Abder Adr You should check out lower level teams in England. They have great fans. Yea i agree BLP fans are pretty mmmmm ehhhh. You should check out some teams like AFC Wimbeldon and FC United of Manchester (both teams are fan owned) for example. Germany you got St. Pauli and Union Berlin their fans are great. I can name a few more but check out those teams i mentioned.
+joe momma Seattle does have the best and passionate fans. Them and Portland. Here in California galaxy fans are a joke (majority are not true fans. only because of a famous player they over spend on) and so are the earthquakes (team dissolved and went to Houston because of poor fan attendance). There's no other team in the MLS that has better fans then Seattle and Portland.
From Cleveland and I love Drew Carry! As a Cleveland sports fan I agree with Drew but since the video was released the Indians, Cavs, and Monsters are killing it this place is bursting with energy! Only one problem... the Browns suck the life out of us but somehow we find a way to still love them. #rallytogethey
+Chris V I guess it's a little different than Florida, where it's usually raining bullets with that sky-high crime rate. Don't get me wrong, I can't stand Seattle, but both Portland and Seattle are infinitely safer than Florida.
We go from weather to crime rate. Way to stay on topic like that's even relevant to what im saying. Yes though your states may be more safe but that weather drives people to suicide which is why suicide rates are so high there so ill stick to dodging bullets in sunny Orlando.
+Chris V You made snide comments about the weather in the northwest and then you promoted your team in a crime-ridden state. I would say it's fair game. Also, it must really suck feeling like you have to take a shower every time you leave your house, but at least it's sunny and warm. Every state/town has their own pros and cons.
lol its not that bad. It pours in buckets for maybe an hr throughout the day, especially in central FL, than the sun comes back out. Floridians are accustomed to that so rarely are you just walking outside and get poured on. Usually out of towners are caught up in that situation. Plus id take sunny weather any day than foggy, gloomy, depressing weather year round. Sunshine gives you life and energy to want to get out and do things. Seattle im sure all you want to do is lay in your bed and sleep all day.
Here in Quebec Canada last April , we managed to sell out a 61,000 seat stadium when the Montreal Impact made it to the CONCACAF champions league final. So yes football is alive and well in North America :)
I don't even live in Seattle nor near it, I live in Texas and support FC Dallas, but Seattle Sounders is still my #2. I just love their colors, attitude, and sponsors... they have Xbox as a sponsor... like 10/10. I feel like the Sounders are up to date and I think that is why they attract so much popularity.
you need to go to thailand and check out Buriram United. That is a cool sports franchise from top to bottom. Top 5 teams in all of Asia and the passion is literally a whole state of Thailand
Love football in Europe, but I have to say, the Americans could show a few teams about atmosphere. It's criminal you get a better crowd in MLS than at Arsenal or Man Utd these days.
This gives me hope that the MLS might actually become more relevant in this country. Gotta stop letting all the talent leave and stop signing all the old wash-up money hungry euro stars, even though its pretty sweet to watch Robbie Keane play, oh shit thats the Galaxy :P Cool video and some passionate fans
maverik45 Lmao Where the Fuck did you come up with that number???? Lmao Go look at our 2008 mls season Our attendance was 38-45,000 Wikipedia isn't a Reliable source lol
+BP TV (BPG) The Sounders weren't even playing in MLS in 2008...sigh. You must be one of the super-new bandwagoners. I'm sorry to inject a dose of reality into your fantasies. I realize that the average Sounders fan doesn't want to accept the fact that they didn't give a single shit about the team until it was advertised to them just right, but at least be honest when the facts are presented to you. They changed their colors to match the Seahawks and even had their cheerleaders at their first game to draw fans. I guess it worked to appease the customers, but don't tell me that it's some storied fan base, because that couldn't be further from the truth.
Whenever I watch an NBA game I always think how sad it is that the only chant you ever hear is either that fucking Seven Nation Army chant or the old 'Let's go ...'
Drew Carey and John Green have to get together and organize a friendly between Wimbledon AFC and the Seattle Sounders.
How about (Some other EPL team like Manchester United) and Sounders being played at Century Link field?
I would love to see it
Vice hitting up MLS, pretty cool.
Good to see MLS taking off, soccer is an awesome sport

+joe momma that's Bs
+UserIsUnavailable Soccer is gay as shit.
such a solid dude. love drew, even if he is from Cleveland. go heat.
guess he bought the team when "the price is right" HAHAHHAHA
Very good..

+Cesar Almeida Nice post... good luck in CL against Zenit, I think Benfica will make the quarters this year. Nico Gaitan + Pizzi and good youth..! :)
***** Well I'm less a fan of them, and more just a fan of Fredy haha
While attending a European match is on my bucket list, it seems I could same a lot of money and get the experience of madness, there in Seattle.
+Darren G. never been to a seattle game, but I would still recommend you a visit in europe! england if you want it classy and conventional, germany if you want it big, italy if you want it loud, and turkey if you want it crazy. if you're lucky you might get all of it in once.

You're right. I'm too old for starting shit with the police. these years are long gone. haha but I want to once see a game in greece. the fans must be awesome.
Drew Carey is such a wonderful human being; he is just one of the kindest, most genuine people.
A revolution fan here. But let me tell you something, the Sounders games atmosphere is crazy.
Now, these are true fans!
Had no idea club fotball could be like this in America very impressive.
Drew Carey seems like one of the coolest most down to earth celebs
About 1 mile from my house is the house he grew up in. He still owns it and has a huge pool in the backyard. He used to have huge lesbian parties back there after he got famous "rumor has it" but it sounds legit
Drew Carey is such a cool dude. I wish all sports franchise owners were like him. Respect.
An even bigger flex that he’s the only sports owner that hosts The Price is Right
Oh yeah he should be a journalist, commentator and interviewer in us soccer as well
Love seeing this kind support for an MLS team
he does bring up a good point on the difference between nfl fans and soccer fans. i am from latin america so ive been a huge soccer fan since i was born but ive also become a huge nfl fan over the last 5 years or so and while both fanbases are incredibly passionate, to me it doesnt get better than 60 000 people singing together to cheer your team rather than just yelling. Just something i think would make the nfl so much better
so non latin americans get it
64000 for soccer in the us? That's nuts! The Price was right, very right.
He bought all of us a beer during Seattle away in Portland last year. Fucking stand up guy.
Sports fans in Seattle is one of the reasons I love being from here😂 Everyone's so passionate and always come together for games, whether it be football, soccer, or even baseball. It's great😊
If a soccer team can be this successful in Seattle, then a NHL team could work too. If they brought back the Supersonics basketball team too they could share a stadium. Plus, there could be a good rivalry with the Vancouver Canucks.
start with the sonics first and work towards hockey. otherwise I completely agree with you
Christ man. How cool would it have been to cheer on Durant and Westbrook in Sonics gear? Given GSW is just too good, but shit. I agree btw.
You cant just keep on adding teams... One of the reasons the Sounders are doing so well is directly because of the absence of other teams.
I want to see the Sonics come back. Can't believe it's already been more than a decade. Absolute disgrace
KRAKEN UP
wow. these fans aren't fucking around. feels like fans from England or something. wow
+name If you're ever in Seattle, come out for a match. One of the ECS boys will most certainly buy you a drink.
+name Do they frequently use flamethrowers, high school marching bands, and scoreboard chants in England?
+maverik45 nope! I have to say, as an English football fan, we don't have the style and size that America does - this looked amazing
+maverik45 i bet they use instruments.....................*trumpets*
+Adam Dunkley I'm more referring to the fact that this fan base is nearing full-on circus status.

Can't wait for my MN United FC to join MLS in 2017/2018. #MLSToStPaul #GoLoons
+Casey Rauchwarter MN United FC? Why does US soccer try SO HARD to be European? It's pathetic.
gumbo I don't know why. They're also called the Loons. It's the state bird of Minnesota.
So a year later, how do you like your Minnesota team? lmao. #ATL
Minnesota has the best sponsor these days. Lol
Its when im drinkiiiiing, im always drinkiiiiing to a SOUNDERS VICTORY!!!!!!!
Really Really great job building a team, Drew Carey.
Clearly the coolest, its quite a scene there on a Sat afternoon game day
wow drew carey looks better now at almost 60 than he ever has before
I remember watching The Drew Carey Show and Whose Line. Great shows
The Sounders fans are a lot better than the majority of the fans in the Premier league. (and i'm a big fan of the BPL)
That Guy Lol i know the BPL better than you.
That Guy All i know is that when i watch a game of City,Arsenal,United or Chelsea i never hear the fans singing all the 90mn not even 10mn (or maybe juste after a goal) but in Seattle they always sing since the first minute, like in Argentina Greece or Turkey so that's why i say thats they are better than the UK fans (sorry for my english)

Drew carey is such a stud
This is to the sounders fans... U R frigging amazing.
I am just imagining Drew coming into the dressing room after the Sounders lose and him just saying to the team, "the points don't matter"
As an Atlanta United supporter, Seattle has always been an awesome club. Congrats on your MLS Cup!
Drew Carey from Cleveland 🙌🏼
the atmosphere looks great
Love Drew Carey, love the Sounders!
Damn he looks so old now lol.
+WildDanHibiki He looks familiar? No wonder.
+WildDanHibiki
Umm, the dude is 57. Actually, looks pretty good for his age.
HKim0072 Holy crap, he's 57? It feels like his tv show only came out 10 years ago, or 20. lol
+WildDanHibiki he looks great compared to how he looked back in the day
Well he's not wearing makeup, and he's not under studio lights...
I would love to see VICE follow the Cubs with all of the crazy stuff going o . This really could be the year!
Michael DeRose Especially now!
"There's going to be a lot of granola spilled over this one"
That Price Is Right money, such a great dude.
He ran a half marathon in my town and i got to meet him!
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT GUY AT THE GAME WITH DREW! Joe Patane was on the Real World Miami. Crazy.
+Brant Arnold lol man i thought i recognized him but i dismissed the notion...
"Come on Seattle"
lol
+PDX MB FIGHT, AND WIN! lmfao we shall never let them forget this.
“Every other sport is so corporate.”
(Xbox 360 plastered across his back)
Hats off to the sounder fans.
I love the fire on the goalposts
Hell Yeah!! Drew Carey!! My fellow Clevelander. Go CAVS BABY!!!
FIIIIIIIGHT AND WIIIIIIN
FIIIIIIIGHT AND WIIIIIIN
that is one cool owner
This was awesome!
I like how Drew is rocking the Xbox 360 Sounders jacket which is probably from a couple years ago
From Cleveland and I love Drew Carry! As a Cleveland sports fan I agree with Drew but since the video was released the Indians, Cavs, and Monsters are killing it this place is bursting with energy! Only one problem... the Browns suck the life out of us but somehow we find a way to still love them. #rallytogethey
Had no idea he owned a team
Is it always raining in Seattle? Weather always looks so depressing there. Guess this gives them something to cheer about. GO ORLANDO CITY!!!
+Chris V I guess it's a little different than Florida, where it's usually raining bullets with that sky-high crime rate. Don't get me wrong, I can't stand Seattle, but both Portland and Seattle are infinitely safer than Florida.

Another sunny day in Seattle!
64,000 for a MLS match wow. That beats most English attendances
Here in Quebec Canada last April , we managed to sell out a 61,000 seat stadium when the Montreal Impact made it to the CONCACAF champions league final. So yes football is alive and well in North America :)
SOUNDERS TIL I DIE.
#EBFG
i went to that game!!! it was awesome!! Go Sounders!!!
SSFC. All the way from Sydney 💙💚⚽
I had no clue who he was until he put the glasses on.
This is a cool video, I bet he's such a great guy to hangout with in real life. Anyone have any idea what backpack he's wearing? I like it.
I don't even live in Seattle nor near it, I live in Texas and support FC Dallas, but Seattle Sounders is still my #2. I just love their colors, attitude, and sponsors... they have Xbox as a sponsor... like 10/10. I feel like the Sounders are up to date and I think that is why they attract so much popularity.
Peyton Ratliff You know what? You're alright.
Jesus i didn't beleive it was him until he spoke. He looks so different from the whos line days
They won the cup this year.i realised this is why
My home town
They took a few pages out of Britain's book.
Soon enough you'll see firms springing up.
Sounders!
man hes changed alot
he looks so different
That soul patch is a war crime, Drew.
would be a good place for a Hockey team...and I'm a Canadian from Winnipeg.

In the true spirit of football the fans should totally mock him for telling them they're great...
Drew Carey is the coolest
you need to go to thailand and check out Buriram United. That is a cool sports franchise from top to bottom. Top 5 teams in all of Asia and the passion is literally a whole state of Thailand

You da man, Drew.
and world, America will catch up in Futbol, ok? we're getting with the program.
Love football in Europe, but I have to say, the Americans could show a few teams about atmosphere. It's criminal you get a better crowd in MLS than at Arsenal or Man Utd these days.
Sounders till I die!!
The thing is they call themselves a club but they have a owner.
mannnn! I would love to be there with those fans and drink. Lol badass fans
Here we go galaxy, here we go. Here we go galaxy, here we go. This is awesome. Awesome!!!
Time for Drew Carey to own the Browns
Cleveland Rocks! Cleveland Rocks!
This gives me hope that the MLS might actually become more relevant in this country. Gotta stop letting all the talent leave and stop signing all the old wash-up money hungry euro stars, even though its pretty sweet to watch Robbie Keane play, oh shit thats the Galaxy :P Cool video and some passionate fans
bruh needa come to a minnesota united game
