Great to see the Timbers getting their ground situation sorted in readiness for 2011.<br /><br />Once they and Vancouver are in, these rivalries will dominate MLS especially if more than one of the three is chasing for honours.<br /><br />Roll on Columbia!Prost Amerikahttp://www.prostamerika.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-60781817720221689382009-09-24T21:37:00.037+01:002009-09-24T21:37:00.037+01:00I love that there were a ton more Timbers fans hat...I love that there were a ton more Timbers fans hating on the Sounders in the Sounders article, yet the same Timbers die hard don't show love to their own club.

I especially enjoy the history as given in the interview. Can't argue with most of the points brought up.<br /><br />Though it is obvious that portland is quite Seattle obsessed. The Sounders FC article has almost 100 responses, many from portland fans screaming how much better their team is but an article on the timbers gets written and there's nothing. Again this is a really well done article but it seems the audience it's geared for is more interested in their rivals than their own club.

I think she hit the nail mostly on the head, but I would point out that again much of what she claims for Portland in opposition of the "Seattle" way is a reflection more of the missteps of our FO than the Seattle fan base (including the ECS).<br /><br />Thanks Danny, and Thanks AllisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
