Go Hipsters!

Oops..

Timbers!

 

[BBert]

Is this some kind of championship game or something?

Or is that some type of protective gear soccer players wear?

We are all going to a soccer bar here in Milwaukee by the hotel. Can't wait! #RCTID

Who is we?

All 5 TV crew, MB and Coach Rice. Invited some of the players yesterday, most looked at me like they had never heard of soccer before. I'm sure all the EUROS would have gone last year.

Amount of caring: 0

Taking the family to John's Pizza in Beaverton to watch it on the big screen and eat. My daughter is not into watching soccer yet so there are plenty of things there to keep her busy.

Have been impressed with the run they have been making and think we have a great shot at winning. Never know if we are going to get this opportunity again.

Saw a video of them filling an Alaska airlines jet. Timbers have some amazingly loyal fans for sure.

So, an entire thread filled with, "Damn, that was great, something almost happened!"

So, do they win something if they win this game? Is it a playoff game? What?

[ripcityboy]

Whew. Saved by the bell. Come on Timbers, turn it on again in the second half!!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Soccer would be more exciting if they could use their hands to throw the ball.

 

[BBert]

Timbers look out matched. Good thing they were spotted two points.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Soccer should also have both teams line up and one person "hikes" the ball to a player. That player throws the ball to another player. Then that player runs to a zone at the end of the field. Once he gets inside that zone he should kick the ball, since that seems really important to soccer fans, and is given 6 pts for getting the ball in the zone at the end of the field.

 

[BBert]

The flopping in this game is disgusting.

and stop and talk about what happened for 15 minutes before and after every play with built in microphones so they know what to do
