The Seattle Sounders pulled off one of the more impressive wins in MLS history on Tuesday night, traveling to Mexico to down Monterrey on their own turf. Fielding a team consisting mainly of reserves, the Sounders battle a full-strength Monterrey team at near full-strength. It was an amazing night for the Sounders and the reaction to the win rolled in from far and wide throughout the night.
I don't follow enough soccer types, so you'd think it would take a while to round up reactions. It didn't. The funny thing about Tuesday's win is that it stretched beyond the hardcore and bled into the mainstream. Fans and reporters of all sports were tweeting and talking about the Sounders win, much like they did FC Dallas' historic win on Mexican soil last week.
Jason LaCanfora, an NFL.com reporter and soccer fan, took to Twitter to praise the Sounders after their huge win.
Congrats to Seattle Sounders. Great to see MLS clubs finally getting Ws in Mexico.less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

This is a much bigger deal than Dallas beating UNAM's B squad. Monterrey is a very good team playing their best players. Huge day for USA.less than a minute ago via TweetDeck Favorite Retweet ReplyTimothy Burke

First the Sounders beat FC Dallas at home, then they get a win in Mexico against a better team, playing a strong lineup. Touché. #mlsless than a minute ago via TweetDeck Favorite Retweet Reply

These are just a few of the many reactions to the Sounders win, but they do give a good idea of the sporting world's opinion of Tuesday match. It's something to be proud of for fans in Seattle, and hopefully something the Sounders can use as momentum as they head towards the playoffs and continue forth in the CONCACAF Champions League.
