It was such a disappointing match last night. I can't believe that Sounders lost 0 to 3 to Whitecaps. It looked like Sounders didn't have any combative capabilities. Strikers weren't sharp, Midfielders couldn't control and Defense was disorganized, though I can't blame Frei for all of the lost goals, he didn't perform extraordinarily anyway.
Anyway, it's fun to be there pre game. We planned to have a decent dinner around Centurylink Field but couldn't find a table at an Oyster restaurant, probably with Finns' cuisine. We walked along the streets, eventually arrived at Yesler and decided to eat at Cafe Bengodi, a Seattle Little Italy one. The foods were big and delicious, the tastes were very authentic.
We went back to Occidental Park where we had got free sunglasses earlier and got free water. A guy stopped my son to ask him to cheer, so I took a picture for them. That guy told my son he was from Jamaica.
A band was performing in the center of the park, we missed the most of their performances, probably only caught the last piece and I even didn't have a chance to film.
I had heard about Sounders fans' parade starting at this park prior to every home match but never got a chance to participate. It's exciting and fans were creative too.
It's a very nice evening for a soccer match. Sitting on the stands, I felt very relaxed but excited. I hadn't watched a Sounders' match in person in this season and this was the first time I came to Centurylink Field in this year.
The traditional Sounders' opening ceremony is always cool, fans' enthusiasm is generally illuminated at this moment.
Though the result was so bad, fans came for fun anyway. It's just another match and we will still have a lot of fun in the next two months by watching their playing.
Yesterday morning at 7:00 am, I drove to gym to workout. After coming back home, I took a nap then had an early lunch because I told my mom that we would have an early dinner before the Sounders' match.
Not having washed my van for a year, I decided to do it this weekend. It's a wonderful sunny day to do it anyway. After washing it, it looked like a brand new to me. With 211K mileage and 15 years old age, it still works very well. Of course, I spent 8,000 dollars at dealership three years ago to have it thoroughly repaired. I plan to keep it for another five years.
I did plan to give one box of chocolate I bought at Duty-Free shop at Arlanda to Jonna, our neighbor on our right side but hadn't seen her until yesterday while I was washing my van. Though I haven't bothered her as frequently as bothering Dennis, she has been very helpful as well. For example, every time, when my parents didn't pick up the phone, especially when I traveled out of town, I called her to check for me because I was worried. I hadn't noticed that her old brother's family coming to visit her until her brother came over to chat. They live in Fullerton where I often drove there to have dinners in several of my favorite restaurants when I briefly lived in Cypress in Southern California in 2005. His son will go to college next year and University of Washington is one of his options. I guess Jonna's family probably lived in East Washington when she and her brother were teens because her brother went to WSU and as I remember, she went to Eastern Washington. I hope her brother's son can enroll UW. His aunt and dad are all Washington's graduates, it's natural for him to come back to Washington to get education.
Ok, it's already 8:22am, I will drive to gym to workout. After coming back, I need to guide my son to study two sections of Integrals because he didn't do one yesterday. He also wanted to go watching Ant-Man today, so we will have a very tight schedule on this Sunday.
