The Sounders won by three goals, and my brother-in-law didn’t kiss me.
That’s what I call a successful night.
My brother-in-law Brian loves the Sounders. So much so that he hates going to the games because he gets so nervous. When they are on the road, he tapes the game and refuses to watch until it’s over. If they’ve won, he will watch it repeatedly. If not, he immediately deletes it.
Two years ago, I watched with him at a bar as the Sounders won the MLS title over Toronto. When Roman Torres scored the winning goal in the shootout, he planted a kiss on me.
