Though Obafemi Martins was frustrated that his debut for Seattle Sounders ended in a 1 - 1 draw, the Nigeria striker has heaped praise on the fans for their unrivaled support against Portland Timbers on Saturday.<br /><br /><i>MLSsoccer.com</i> quoted Martins as saying: ''I&rsquo;m going to choose them as one of the best fans. I&rsquo;ve played for a lot of clubs and it&rsquo;s different here. They&rsquo;re friendly and really support the team, which is good. I like that.''<br /><br />28 - year- old Martins, who is now expected to fly from the United States to Nigeria for a World Cup qualifier against Kenya, played the last 20 minutes of the encounter at CenturyLink Field.<br /><br />''We wanted to give him the opportunity. His mind, his spirit, his soul is here. He wants us to succeed and be successful.<br /><br />"He&rsquo;ll get better and I think the things he can do, his quickness, will show through,'' said Head Coach Sigi Schmid.<br /><br />Photo Credit: soundersnation.com<br />
