New MLS Franchise Will Be Called Seattle Sounders FC
Seattle soccer fans just became the most powerful soccer fans in America. Sorry, Philadelphia.

Major League Soccer sparked a big fat controversy when it allowed fans to choose the name of the Seattle expansion team that starts play in 2009, then let fans vote on three really, really lame team names -- none of which were "Seattle Sounders," the name of the city's old NASL club and its current USL First Division club. After pressure from fans, however, MLS allowed a write-in vote, and fans organized a huge campaign to keep the Sounders name alive.

Guess what? It worked. MLS announced today that the expansion team will be called Seattle Sounders FC.
