Trash-talking from the Seattle Sounders in the run-up to Sunday's nationally televised game isn't being limited to the game itself.

The Sounders have extended the talking to include the Timbers supporters. The latest zinger comes from Seattle midfielder Brad Evans, who has already caused a rivalry ruckus by claiming the Sounders' organization is a "cut above" the Timbers.

This time, Evans compared the supporter groups. Naturally, Evans praised the Sounders supporters who are "absolutely tremendous" and singling out the families who come out to support the game.

Then he provided this assessment of the Timbers supporters.

"It's a bunch of drunk, mid-30s type of crowd who are very well-educated," Evans said. "Much more vocal. A little bit more crazy. It's a little nastier playing down there, to be honest."
