“No taunting” means no going over to your section and starting trouble, like a lot of you idiots have done in the past and discovered that it hurts being such imbeciles.

I guess your guys didn’t get the memo.

Dustin, right before I read your comment, I read a comment on another board that said about Pete Vagenas: “I really can’t decide if this guy is a hero or goat.”

Now that I’ve read your comment, I’m REALLY hoping for “hero.”

Bob, I hope you’re right. I’m getting a bad vibe about the game, though. And all it takes is a small handful of idiots for things to get out of control.

I’m assuming there will be a lot of security, and that they’ll be busy.

That said, I wish I were going!!

I’ll be watching this match from the safety of my home. Good luck to both teams!

You know, to all the douchebags…. you’d actually be better served to be passionate but good to one another. Both cities need each other, despite what they say. Only together can the region be soccer-strong. If Seattle and Portland play nicely with each other, they can dominate soccer like they dominated culture for a decade. Become Hooligans, and everyone loses.

Here’s to hoping that stupidity loses tonight.

Everything will be fine. The atmosphere will be super. Enjoy the game. Tomorrow there will be message board posts about this and that from both sides. Most of it will be untrue. It has always been that way.

What Portland sites btw I’d love to see that devolve into a pissing contest over the internet.

The post is tame, the response wasn’t. I’m all for competition and a good rivalry is fun, some people just take it to the point of killing braincells.
