Remember that video I recently shared of the two goals the Sounder scored against the Whitecaps?
Apparently, that was just the tip of the iceberg of offerings from LEVYfilms. The masterpiece of
their Seattle Sounders collection is this short film titled "Soccer City, USA: A Glimpse of What is
Possible.
One of the many interesting tidbits I learned from Michael Orr's (a.k.a. mao, @maofootball) very
well researched book, The 1975 Portland Timbers: The Birth of Soccer City USA, was that
almost none of the players had ever stretched before that season.
For all the similarities between the Timbers of the 1970s and those of today, there is perhaps
no bigger difference between the two eras than player health, and the extent to which it is a
concern to the team and the fans.
We are a great football club and we boast a good number of websites that honor that fact. The
first season of MLS brought us an explosion in Timbers media in many forms for many tastes. Â We
would like to list a few of the sites that you may or may not heard of in organized super random
list.
We can all hope that we will see even more Timbers media in our second season of MLS.
Their Words One of the greatest strengths of the Timbers is the rich history of the club. With this
third kit, we are paying homage to the teams and players that inspired our city to become Soccer

chance in January to impress Klinsmann - from SI.
You might have noticed, but there are three other playoff series going on besides Philadelphia
Union's face-off with Houston. Normally, we might not watch them, but each series has high
entertainment value, for different reasons in each case.
Big congratulations to the U.S. Women's National Team for their thrilling 3-nil blow out against
the Canadian side, not that anybody expected another result in Portland. I was, unfortunately,
unable to attend in person, which is a huge shame because I really enjoy women's soccer and, on
many occasions, believe it brings a better, more technical game than MLS does.

Fan.
November 3 - Comets vs. Wings: First game of the MISL season as Missouri
Comets travel to the Hartman Arena to take on the new Wichita Wings.
There are in fact only three "newcomers" who haven't yet been in a Jurgen Klinsmann-led national
team camp: veteran defender Oguchi Onyewu, Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando and German-born
midfielder Danny Williams, 21, who just got his American citizenship.
"We would like to continue seeing our players develop through these initial couple of
months," Klinsmann said.
"Although my favorite MLS team has always been the Metros (Red Bulls), the team closest to my
heart was the California Victory, a USL team that played in San Francisco in the second division of
soccer for one season in 2007. I was part of the 1906 Supporters, the Victory's fan group and I
always remembered the Portland Timber's fans that came down that year to support their team for a
league game.
Yeah, that was me. If you heard a loud bang coming from the top left corner of the United States
Saturday night, that was the sound of my head exploding as I watched Colorado score a goal in
stoppage time to seal a 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers as a sold out, shocked JELD-WEN
crowed watched in disbelief.
You know you love football. You love watching the players racing across the field with the smell
of cut grass setting fire to your team spirit. You sit at the edge of your seat when the players
get the ball down the field, avoiding the opposing team as one good whack against the ball with a
head or foot sends the ball past the goalie.
The U.S. Futsal National Team is holding a camp this week at Soccer City in Torrance, Calif. The
training camp is building on the success of the player identification camp held earlier this month

One goal of the player identification camp was to rebuilt the squad with an injection of youth, and
three players who are 17 and under have joined the team in southern california.
U.S. WNT and former Portland Pilot stars Stephanie Cox visited Town Hall on Wednesday to give a few
gifts to local politicians and receive a proclamation (see below) from the Mayor and the city of
Portland proclaiming a Day of Recognition for the U.S. WNT. That's one of many things we love about
Portland.

Supongo que no es fácil ganar un Mundial, sobre todo si no sabes cómo se hace una cosa parecida.
Por fortuna para nosotros, hace años que en España se vienen haciendo bastante bien las cosas con
las selecciones inferiores, y por eso no debe ser casualidad que el año pasado en el podio del
Soccer City de Johannesburgo se juntaran unos cuantos medallistas olÃmpicos, muchos campeones de
Europa en distintas categorÃas y un subcampeón y 3 campeones del mundo sub'20.
