The Seattle Sounders and the Make-A-Wish Foundation teamed up to make the MLS club's match against Tottenham on Saturday far more than your average summer friendly. Earlier in the week, Seattle signed Xander Bailey, an 18-year-old from West Virginia with cystic fibrosis. He joined the club's training session on Friday and then started the match, firing the first shot at Spurs keeper Brad Friedel before getting substituted to a huge ovation from the 55,000 in attendance at CenturyLink Field.

Very nice gesture by the Sounders to make this happen.
What if a defender on the Spurs executed a perfect tackle because he didn't speak English and thought he was a regular Sounders player, so the boy could't get a kick, thus ruining a happy moment.
