It's soccer, not a golf tournament

I attended my first Freedom game this past weekend, against Boston. Is it just me, or do others think the fans act like they're watching a golf tournament instead of soccer match? There were times when I wondered whether I would have to apologize for making too much noise if I sneezed. I could see the frustration on the faces of people who were trying to get the crowd going. Other WPS cities don't seem to have this problem, at least for the games on FSC. It's OK to get vocal, people.

As a fan, loud noise and loud vocal support for your team, is important.
Like telling to the visiting team, "Don't mess in our house"!
I rather be at home, if I don't make noise in the stadium.; ▶ Reply to This

Whenever we started a chant, people would turn around and look at us as if we were talking on our cellphones during a movie.; ▶ Reply to This

It may seem that no one notices but I was there in heart. If I had my headband, you know one for myself, you'd know. In the future bring your headband. Then there is the future. Pass the buck. Headbands. Plaquerism. IT is how I feel about JOOGLE. Busted headbands. Get over yourself I heard you. It is not fusion. It the way the Jazz is played on the DJembe that I"LL bring to my next game. Go left with that golf clap. Moppish!; ▶ Reply to This

Then I wanted to get an apologie from the people next to me and they shared that they were rooting for both teams. Imagine that. It was raining that hard that wanted both teams to exhaust themselves. At least the lightning held off. I belive I should have broughten a good book for the girls looking for a teammate to past too. Bless 6Characters.; ▶ Reply to This

Maybe those who couldn't feel the business of televised Sky Blue could take their balls to Turf Taylor with the fathers dirty golf outting hanckerchief at Perkins during the 4th Civil War reeactment. Go the bejeaded of King Louie the phat guy watching the cannonballs fly cause their vegan. Paint on! Dream Theatre in the box. 80 X 80 stretching classes after YUgo assembly lines. Telling my kids about my enthuaisiasm for the entire leaugue. Evergreen for 2010. Wins for 2009. Bless. Many Characters.
