Just a couple quick thoughts before I head off to bed -

- 66,830 (170 less than a sell-out) for a soccer match! In Seattle!! That's 10,000 more than showed up for Manchester United 5 years ago.

- Getting to Qwest tonight took me *twice* as long as the actual match!! And I still wound up missing the first 30 minutes because of friggin' traffic. I should also mention I was late leaving my apartment to finish up my Blade fic *and* forgot to set the friggin' vcr!! Can anyone possibly point me to a download? I seriously don't think I can wait for Monday's repeat!!

- Whoever the genius was who decided to build the Qwest Parking lot next to railroad tracks should be publically pelted with rotten fruit.

- *sigh* David Beckham's really fucking hot. And, apparently, that intimidates ugly men.

- I also, apparently, think Ruud Van Nistleroy is hot when he's not wearing a Man U shirt.

- Robinho is cute as a bug.

- If Freddie Adu (who's also cute as a bug) stays in the MLS for the entirety of his career - a) he's a moron and b) his handlers need to be publically flogged. I honestly think he's gone about as far as he can go with United and the time is close to moving on to greener pastures.

- While I don't think anyone should take the result too serious because, really, I think *everyone* on the Real bench got to play, there sure was an awful lot of shoving and man growling going on.

- I was so late I missed *both* goals! Wahhhhh!!!!

- Is this an American thing - wearing jerseys of teams that aren't even playing to the match. National colors I can understand but the guys in the Juventus, Arsenal, etc!?! That shit seriously bugs. This isn't the first time I've noticed this. I've seen it at every soccer match I've been to, even USL Sounders games!!

- Hopefully the Seattle Sounders got a good chunk of change for this match. And is another step closer to Seattle getting an MLS franchise.

- Qwest is a nice stadium but the seats SUCK!! All that money and they couldn't spare a little more armrest room!?!

- Oh, and did I mention that a) Beckham's really hot, b) he got a haircut and c) it really scares me that I can tell the difference.

Drive-by post here because mommatrancer's in town for the next two weeks. So, that's why I still haven't responded to a ton of stuff I totally should be responding to but anyway - OMG!!

Real Madrid's Coming to Seattle!!

I'm like bouncing off the walls I'm so happy! This almost makes up for that asshole Schultz selling the Storm and Sonics to friggin' Oklahoma! And totally makes up for me not having the money to be able to go and watch Barcelona in LA next month.

It's gonna be Real vs. DC United. Which I totally prefer over the whole Euro team versus MLS All stars format. I also know Chelsea's coming over for a couple matches. But, I could really give a flying fig about Chelsea because OMG!! Real Madrid is coming to Seattle!!

Off to put in a day off request at work!And then try and convince the Sports Guy to get me a press pass!
