What a great 12 hours it was as Portland kicked off in Bremerton and got an impressive result against the Kitsap Pumas, to set up what we all were hoping for a battle against seattle in our house. The Timbers played some great football yesterday and made us all proud. Ross Smith has show prowess in the air, and used it to full effect to start the Timbers up. Then Dike had his coming out party and lit up Kitsap for the hat trick. This is now two wins in a row for the Timbers, something they have not done since the first two games of the season.
Fresh off a sweet smokey Timber victory, the US kicked off their fate and just when it was starting to feel hopeless, they brought the ruckus! Footie fans, or should I say USA fans you shall not forget where you were at on June 23, 2010 at 8:48am Pacific Standard time. It was the storybook ending, after 91 minutes of nail biting, bloody lips and shots off the post. In the end Donovan and the USA national team right fully walked off the field a heroes.
USA and the Timbers, You Have to Be Loving These Boys Right Now!
So I'm usually not the type to push or enjoy a song dedicated to a team, but this Weezer song is in my head and the video is slick.
Besides great matches, here is what it will take to get Americans to watch soccer:
Its a good day to be Timber/us fan
