A visual representation of the last six Seattle Sounders Summer Transfer Windows
I bought a new 26” electric hedge trimmer and dang! It absolutely blows away the 18” electric one I’ve been using for the last decade. Doing what used to take an hour in about 10-15 minutes much straighter and don’t need a stepladder for the high and deep parts anymore, which is also safer/ faster
The only kid on this ship with a Spain or Argentina shirt who watched a minute of the game
My fiend in Atlanta sent me this screen grab of a local reporter wearing a Tacoma Stars jersey for some unexplained reason
To realistically assess our chances vs “tiny” Belgium, one way to measure the quality of the respective squads could be to compare total transfer values. USA $385m Belgium $547m That’s…. Not close France’s World Cup squad has a transfer value of $1.5 Billion!
This is what kind of birthday presents I get in this household. If you think I’m complaining, I’m not.
The que to get into the sports bar at our hotel for the Canada-Morocco game. It’s 9am

I have to say this: Lumen is a good stadium, but the worst seats in BC place are way closer to the field than the worst seats in BC Place.
Nice view from our hotel. Because of the way they had things routed it was a 150m walk back but a 2 km walk to the stadium
And because my wife talks to everybody, we ended up meeting Ken Sim, the Mayor of Vancouver, and John, the King of BC Place
Tickets for Switzerland-Algeria going for as little as USD $284 each (all-in pricing) on Gametime (Looks at watch…) Dang! What time is kickoff again?
And we met some Belgian Waffle People on the train home!
Belgium-Senegal in Seattle today. I’m only making it to one World Cup game but at least it was a banger. 5 goals 3 goal comeback Last minute controversial game winner Great weather…. Even a pitch invasion
✅ train from Vancouver to Seattle ✅ Flight from Seattle to LA area Lots of reasonable (for last minute) possible permutations with all the different area airports. But you better leave soon
The Sparta Tacoma B09’s celebrating their national title with some of the club’s future champions
It basically one big volcano. Known to erupt and bury a town or two in lava
A friend sent me this in reference to the USA-Australia game yesterday 😂😂
Really proud of these players and coaches Tacoma Sparta B09 Elite Academy National Champions 2026 6 games in 72 hours
Of course I’m also feeling a bit like this ⬇️ But I wouldn’t trade the opportunities to travel that I’ve had these past two years for anything.
