2011 Lamar Hunt Open Cup Final - Seattle Sounders FC vs. Chicago Fire: Highlights - Oct. 4, 2011

[@unak78]

Awesome performance. This club never ceases to amaze me. Good luck in the Champions League quarterfinals and the 2012 Champions League. Congrats from Dallas.

[@thompsonalex]

I was there last night and the scene inside the stadium was electric. That was the best soccer game I have ever seen live in person.

[@deathrealms]

Wow, I'm really impressed by Osvaldo's goal, look at his composure and his skill, wow, props.

[@kboanddbo]

I can happily say I was at this match. What a game! Go Sounders FC!

[@Tvpolo9]

Not a bad time to come into your best form of the year, they've proved themselves in the open cup, and are the only team still alive in the Supporters Shield race. They have 2 big tests left with MLS Cup and CCL, can't wait to watch :)

[@melojordans23]

what atmosphere, the fans deserve that win

[@brycecameron7717]

YEAH. Go Seattle.

[@Seattlenwhc]

Such a good game! Chicago did good.. got to admit I was a little nervous at first. But awesome goal by Alonso! He's a world class player.

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

@CashSmeller it's the American version of the FA Cup, it includes all divisions of American pro and semi- soccer. It's a knockout single elimination tournament. The MLS teams get the advantage of higher seeds and first round byes. Also It's the oldest soccer tournament in North America.

[@coachbhoop]

i Was at the game last night in the front row of the ECS section! SOUNDERS TILL I DIE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rockslideproductions]

I watched the game, then watched this replay, and realized that Jeff Parke did awesome this game.

[@mychemicalromancegrr]

The most INTENSE game yet ;)
SOUNDERS FOREVER!

[@5xchamps]

Seattle has best fans in MLS, I wish we could get a crowd like that for my FC Dallas, much props
"It's Dallas till i die"!!!!!!

[@OnlineSoccerAcademy]

Sad to see Chicago lose but it was a great game and Seattle played great. Very deserving of the threepeat! Mike Fucito had a great game!

[@german6384]

Very nice game i m proud of seattle sounders go sounders

[@jewelcitydevil]

Best franchise in MLS right now by far. This is what futbol is about. The average attendance at Seattle is more than the galaxy and chivas usa's combined home attendance, how sick is that!! I love how all of fans seem like one giant supporters group as opposed to the crap they have here in LA.

[@phaserstoextracrispy]

Always sad to see Fucito play such a good game and not score. Such a hard worker with lots of talent.

[@darthtrabia]

CONGRATS ON THE US IRRELEVANT OPEN CUP!!! Sweet jerseys, but they showed their TRUE colors against RSL in the playoffs

[@Kotecher]

Congratz on the big win, you guys really deserve it. From an Skc fan.

[@kbaird39]

look at #6 face ahh im so happy for him

[@flyny]

Well done to Seattle, from a Glasgow celtic fan.
You guys are doing the MLS justice
ps is Montero for sale?

[@foolmoi]

@luisdeGuatemala yes 2012-2013 season, but this year champion league isnt over yet.

[@Chirsv323]

Its Funny how Many Home Games Seattle has played in the Last 3 US Open Cup !!!

[@qpoeigtr]

was it seattle that got steamrolled by manchester united 7-0? On this performance it seems like that was a freakish one off result...magnificent play and what amazing composure for second goal...

[@smoothegg]

@MrJDinero oh but thank you sir

[@nby777]

@CashSmeller Its a Cup tournament like other soccer leagues in the world have that give all teams in the country a chance to win silverware. That way, even if you aren't the best team in the league, as long as you put together a string of good games you can still Win something, get prize money, and qualify for the CCL.

[@r0pp0nmatsu]

@MrGinbot you gotta remember with that MU scoreline, though, it was only 1-0 with all the starters. the 6 goals came in the 2nd half when all but maybe 2 or 3 of the 11 on the field were 2nd stringers. still agree, not world class yet, but we're on the right track! as for Fucito, i dont know if i'd call him a greedy player. he had lots of chances this game that he couldnt pass up a shot (though there were some he shoulda passed middle). i'd say he's looking for goals to prove himself to Zigi.

[@unak78]

@darthtrabia Yes she is. So is Hope Solo.

[@slavikslavik]

@thompsonalex i was there too. it was something i've never seen before!!!

[@galdhrone235]

Nice Job, sounders, try going for a 4th time in a row!

[@Booksurfs]

@rockslideproductions oh ok...i thought he was injured or something.

[@nanotigre9360]

chicago fire played crazy defense

[@TheCreedBratton]

3 people watching this vid were Fire fans

[@joeytd123]

obviously its not as good or exciting and the FA cup, but soccer in america is improving and so is the MLS

[@TookYoCookiez]

Alonso's goal was straight filth. so sick. More MLS teams need fanbase's like Seatlle's

[@Booksurfs]

@rockslideproductions i thought he started in every game and that he was an awesome player. haha yea i know alex is freaking beast

[@jewelcitydevil]

@ioryy666
Hell yeah they outdraw the galaxy and chivas USA combined. The franchise also tries to make it one big supporters group atmosphere. The Sounders are the MODEL of what an MLS franchise should be like. I love it when DREW said the only expansion team in the league is the LA GALAXY, couldn't be truer.

[@rockslideproductions]

@milloselmejor Maybe comparatively, but Servando would just have the plain strength, size, and speed advantage.

[@MatthewLushSide]

Seriously, what is that song that plays at the end?!

[@milloselmejor]

@rockslideproductions
I disagree with your assessment of Morgan's ability. I'm not sure who is faster between Carrasco and Morgan, but skill accuracy wise, Morgan is superior than Carrasco. Carrasco might be stronger and bigger than her, but he plays defensive midfield, so I would expect him to have those qualities.

[@unak78]

@MrGinbot Remember that Man U also beat Arsenal 8-2 in a match that actually counted so losing to them 7-0 doesn't say much bad about Seattle. It also kinda legitimizes the Cosmos and MLS Alstar's failures against them. Man U's not just doing that against American sides, they're doing that to everyone.
Losing the Champions League title in their own backyard left a sour taste in their mouths.

[@rockslideproductions]

@milloselmejor haha maybe. I didn't really mean it as a serious comparison. I just meant that Morgan compared to women is much better than Carrasco compared to men. The problem is in sports like soccer it's difficult for women to compete on any level with men.

[@sergiot93]

what is the song that starts playin at 5:22?

[@Booksurfs]

how come servando carrasco didnt play?!!

[@darthtrabia]

@ioryy666 You must be a Lakers, Cowboys, and Yankees fan as well.

[@legit4pizza]

dang..Chicago had no chance! Seattle had more possession and created more opportunities .

[@milloselmejor]

@rockslideproductions
Perhaps, though I think that Morgan can take on a quite a number of male defenders. Hell, she can take on Carrasco one-on-one and beat him almost every time.

[@superjohnnyiscoolify]

im a la galaxy fan and i knew chicago fire was going to lose so good job sounders i hate fire

[@pyrotechnic96]

@Xcsoccermiler88 the galaxy played their top XI against the sounders in the open cup. then they lost.

[@darthtrabia]

@milloselmejor ALEX MORGAN is a GODDESS!

[@6honeybadger]

Honey Badger takes what he wants

[@rockslideproductions]

@TheWadee24 he really only plays as a sub or starting in unimportant games. His girlfriend might actually be better than he is.

[@6honeybadger]

and?

[@milloselmejor]

@rockslideproductions Alex Morgan is amazing, far better than Carrasco... just sayin'

[@Chirsv323]

Wait the US Open Cup is Not even important...Congradulate Seattle when they Actually win a MLS Cup or Supprters SHield !!!

[@vaust5]

can't finish.

[@rockslideproductions]

@TheWadee24 I mean, he's not great. He's average at best.
