I'm tired of being a magnet for Seattle hatred of anything Portland, and this last incident of catching abuse for my posting of league attendance...
That's a great answer, and a great attitude. If you can spread that passion and love and it catches on with some of the other Seattle fans who...
They are statistics. I do alot of them. http://timbers.soccercityusa.com/statspage.htm http://timbers.soccercityusa.com/player2007.html...
The Timbers had a grand total of three road games this year that were close enough for a bus (1 in Vancouver, 2 in Seattle) and still managed to...
Because I'm allowed to have an opinion on here just like anyone else, and my opinion is based on what I've seen and read, and reflects my opinion...
That wasn't what I meant. I think the attitude is more to support the Timbers and MLS will happen eventually, not hope for MLS and then we'll...
You mean this? http://soccercityusa.com/2007uslatt.html What's silly about it?
Milwaukee Rampage --> Milwaukee Wave United. Not unprecedented.
Once again you've completely missed my point, but hey, you're the expert on soccer in Portland, not me. It's the difference between wanting MLS...
My point was that I don't think Timbers fans are treating MLS as a savior, even if it's likely to be in the Timbers future. And I don't think...
I'd like to know how you define "safe vacuum". Down here, many fans put alot of effort into grass roots growth of the team support because that's...
I will do photos in the first half then video for the second, so there should be some highlights. But I don't think there will be any video...
It's anything but a dump. The concourse, concessions, locker rooms, rest rooms, and sky boxes are all brand new from the 2001 renovation. The...
I wouldn't say MLS is unwanted. But we also don't see it as something we necessarily need to make soccer grow in Portland. Our goal is to...
If anybody has less credibility in this world than a radio sports talking head, it's a sports blogger. He complains about the $40 Million spent...
I would definitely disagree with the condition of the turf. It rained steady pretty much up until 5pm. The surface was therefore pretty soft as...

Another angle on PGE Park during the WWC: [img]
Both teams will be playing alot of trialists I'm sure, but it should be a great atmosphere at PGE Park.
I think that point is that the Timbers Army is about 10-20x the size of the next largest supporters group in the USL, and larger than many in MLS,...
I don't like the language either. But it's MUCH better than it used to be. As for the success or failure of Seattle in MLS, I will point out...
Since you've called me out (again), I will respond. Frustrated? After the season we just had? You've got to be kidding me. I'm so damn proud...
I wasn't counting the LA guys. From what I understand one group has Adidas behind it (who has their North American HQ here, and what a slap in...
All MLS possibilities for Portland are aimed at 2010, because the Timbers and Beavers (AAA Baseball) are locked into PGE Park until then and a...
No argument there. And not only that, the roof is actually a genuine wooden roof and has excellent acoustic qualities. The fact that the stadium...
