Sounders vs. NYCFC - Aftermatch Aftermath: Adventures in Seattle

Saturday marked the first time Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo played a competitive match in Seattle. Let's look and see what wacky hijinx those two got up to.

Saturday ushered in a new era, one where the Seattle Sounders have hosted the New York City Football Club, colloquially known as NYCFC. To the joy of some and the dismay of others, the team sometimes referred to as Manchester-City-Lite won the match 2-0, with some saying that the Sounders were too kind as hosts; too giving.

But more important than some sporting event was that this visit sparked the first appearance (in an official capacity at least) of Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo, together known as Lampirlo.
