OT: Timbers and others

it wouldnt be in a row its seattle 2009 phila in 2010

with seattle having utah being the closest team Portland is a rival and close

the two front runners are montrel and portland imo.

 

They need to build a new baseball stadium for a team to come here...PGE park needs to be a soccer only venue to get MLS. I think they're still discussing a new stadium that would be built out in Lents for the Beavs. Portland is soccer town USA and we need to be in the top league in the country!

Update:

As far as anyone can tell yes they are. We have a good base of fans a good stadium plan, financing depends on a few political battles but we are looking pretty good.

 

plus the owners dad is the US treasurer!

 

Um, "promoted" is not correct. In England, teams are "promoted" due to their finish in what is basically the same federation.

In the U.S., MLS is not the same as whatever the league the Timbers find themselves in now is called. Plus, the Timbers lost to a bunch of literal amateurs from Hollywood United this season in the U.S. Cup.

 

Wow. Really? Did not know that.

Henry Paulson is a borderline criminal IMO after botching the "bailout" boondoggle while begging for the cash to pay out his pals.

 

well promoted to the EPL from the Champions League is big money playing with the big boys.....Portland Timbers going from the USL1 to MLS is big bucks and playing the big boys of NA soccer.

as for the loss look up the FA Cup the oldest Tournement in the world!!! This year they a lot of small tiny teams beating championship and division two teams...it happens.

what would you name your oregon/portland

NFL NHL and MLB teams?

 

Dude, that's women's soccer played at the highest level. It's nothing to laugh about. We should all be proud of the Lady Pilots and their achievements on the pitch.

 

too bad the men's team of oregon school stink but hey

Hillsboro is a hot bed for soccer (always has been) Hilhi won it 2 years ago and Glencoe almost won it this year!

 

So what is your opinion of the WNBA?

 

Women's soccer is closer to men's soccer than the WNBA is to the NBA. Other than tennis, golf and softball, it's one of the few women's sports that I can watch and take seriously.

 

help i love watching womens soccer and the world cup/college is awesome and water polo/soft ball are the other too.

wnba is like powerpuff nfl.

 

here are some picture what pge park would look like!
