So Saturday I was scrambling to get people to go to the Timbers soccer game against Sunderland AFC. They are part of the English Premier League, the best soccer league in the whole world. And they were coming to play the little A-League Portland Timbers. Anyways, it was quite the game, people were very excited and it drew the largest crowd in Portland Timbers history...

15,376

...came to watch at PGE Park. Anyways, my dad had planned to go it seemed and didn't tell me, so we ended up going as a family. We got some decent seats in the second "level" to watch the Portland Timbers battle it out:


Crowd settles in for a wonderful match of footy.


The hell kind of call is that!??!


The Timbers Army was out in full force and very loud. Created a great environment, as always. Timber Jim was absent unfortunately.


No game is complete without passing around an inflatable doll dressed in your team's colors.

It ended in a 0-0 draw (yay soccer!... it was entertaining though) and both teams got a huge cheer for their efforts. After the game the Timbers ran around the field and saluted all the fans. Good times.
