Portland Timbers bow out of US Open Cup, prepare for Bayern Munich II tonight

July 2nd, 2009 · 6 Comments

Everything about last night’s Timbers match against Seattle was fantastic, except for the result. One of the highlights for me was watching a drunk and/or belligerent Sounder customer/fan hog-tied and carried out of the beer garden by a swarm of security and police. Good times.

June 19: Portland Timbers vs. Minnesota Thunder in a non-Thirsty Thursday match

June 18th, 2009 · 2 Comments
