Coming from a sounders fans trust me when I say I don't like the Timbers, but this is awesome. There's nothing wrong with this. I see this across the world where fans sing their national anthem, nice job timbers army.
I saw your game vrs Galaxy. I come from Costa Rica and I am jealous of your fan support... I am a soccer lover And I need to go there someday... It's terrific man. I went to Santiago Bernabeu and San Siro but I found the best place to support a team
@juandisoja23 Hey thanks man. It means a lot especially from international futbol fans. The majority of the US I've was lucky to get tickets in the Timbers Army section for two games this year and hands down best soccer/futbol experience in all of N. America. But I'm jealous of you, man ; ) I've always wanted to catch a match at Santiago Bernabeu huge Real Madrid fan.
whats with the scarf waving, I went to the exhibition game against West Bromwich Albion, being a fan of West Brom and English as we don't do the national anthem at the start of the game, we don't do this sort of thing

This is an expansion team? I've seen some other clubs that had sixty people in the stands and some jackass with a kazoo. This is how you do soccer in the NW.
@e081194eng They were hand painted banners by the Timbers Army or different landmarks in the Portland area. The flags were in the middle of the field
@spee435 espn rarely plays anything that has to do with soccer. They dont even show highlights when united states plays a friendly and when world cup is on they barely give any air time to their games so i dont know what the shit you are talking about
I knew they'd all lose it and never finish the song at the last two lines...they all start cheering for whoever's singing and nearly ruining the 'Grand Finale' but forgetting that they're the singers. But great video. Going in favorites for sure!
I'm a DC fan 'til the day i die but this is amazing and you lot should be proud of yourselves and your club. Welcome to the MLS! (thanks for beating chicago, btw.)
"If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled away into a false security."-Ezra Taft Benson
@wmarcus1203 And, thankfully, Portland tends to be full of people who have CIVIC PRIDE, but not blind nationalism. When the Timbers Army sings the anthem, we really mean it.
@Alpha0727 Yup. In America, before basically EVERY sports event, someone comes up to sing the National Anthem. For this match (the very first match of the team at the highest level of U.S. soccer at home,) it was chosen ahead of time to have the crowd sing, rather than some person at a microphone.
The left side of the stands is a group known as "The Timbers Army", basically the loudest/biggest soccer fan group in the U.S.
@ehurtley Thank you for the clarafication. I do know that in the USA, someone sings the National Anthem. I have been to a few sports games myself. I feel that this is what we should do for every game; have everyone sing the National Anthem. It has become somewhat of a custom to just remove your hat, maybe lower your head, and listen during the National Anthem. Sometimes people give you dirty looks for singing along. The rest of the US should follow what "The Timbers Army" does.
Now THAT is the way the national anthem SHOULD be sung - loudly and proudly, by we the people. Serious props to the Timbers Army for doing it right. :D
i'm proud to be an MLS supporter. this is what the beautiful game is all about! not a fan of the Timbers, but that was amazing! i got goosebumps just watching
It was truly awesome to be there in person last night. As a season ticket holder in the TA for a few years now, I can honestly say this was the best sports event I've ever been to. When I root, I root for the Timbers!
@MANWORKER1: We'll sing Oh, Canada. For 3-4 years the TA has been singing the National Anthem, this was the first time there was noone of hte field with a mic, but many of us also sing Oh Canada when Vancouver (and this year Toronto) are in town.
@steeplechase3k I really did not even think about how the Timbers played Vancouver. You are all doing America proud by showing you're patriotism and respect for Canada by knowing the Canadian anthem
And the Timbers Army sings the Canadian anthem, too. (Only American sports fanbase I have ever seen that even KNOWS the words to the Canadian anthem, much less sings along...)
@ehurtley its good to hear that they can sing the Canadian national anthem. I think that it is pretty pitiful that alot of Americans do not sing the anthem whole heartedly. Of all the nations that i have watched a sporting event take place where the anthem took place Americans have to be the least enthused about it.
@greenman1694 Im not a fucking idiot. You obviously did not take my comment in the context that it was presented. I was replying to another person who said that they would sing the Canadian national anthem when i asked what they would do when they hosted a Canadian team
This makes me so proud to be an Oregonian and American. The only time I have ever seen the National Anthem come close to being that awesome is at Blackhawks and Bears games in Chicago with the crowd cheering as loud as they can the whole time. Portland RULES and soccer is here to stay.
best part about watching soccer at a stadium is not having to be directed and led by some stupid jumbo tron...that's why nba games aint what they used to be
Congrats, they sing ONE song together. Come back when they actually have songs sung during the game, without the help of the PA system. And this was a playoff game...we do this on the daily. Also note, they're in a dome, and still weren't as loud. And would live to see some tifo/banner displays...
Hell, look at youtube . f6_hPqgIJLc Arsenal supporters...in an AWAY game....while LOSING 7-2. No contest.
@pibeinocente We'll be happy to have you! Let us know when you'll be here. You'll get the greatest hospitality that can be shown for as long as you're here (minus the 90 minutes of play.) :-D
@Mindis78 Actually it happened at a Detroit Lions NFL game last year. The mic went out on the woman who was supposed to sing it so the crowd and the players sang it
Quakes fan here. Portland showed MLS how it's done last night. As for Sounders fans taking credit for how it's done, let's remember before Seattle Xbox joined MLS, it only drew (carey) about 2,500 per game. The Timbers in D2 were drawing 9K plus every game.
The TA just jumped to the top of the class in every aspect of the word. Kudos to the TA and the Timbers organization. I just moved to the Portland area and can't wait to attend a Timbers game to soak in the atmosphere.
@dukenukem4lifeyo123 -- Oh, wow, you watch European soccer, video game boy? You must be really cool. So pleased you decided to honor us by watching little old MLS.
@crazypk40 Don't think they'll do a fly over through downtown Portland, too many buildings and hills... gotta be an NFL stadium out in the burbs... BTW Awesome night. Go Timbers RCTID
@bmvaughn I'm Seattle supporter. As true as you get. But tonight their version was much better than ours. That said, having followed the Cascadian clubs for years, I doubt they'll match this level again. It was the specialness of the night taking over.
@carella211 Portland is known for having the best fans in pro sports, look at the blazers and now the timbers. but i agree the opening night was spectacular but i do believe they will keep it up.

there's one thing missing here: THE FLYOVER! so sad they don't do the flyovers in soccer matches!

@crazypk40 -- save the flyover for the NFL. This was MUCH cooler.

@crazypk40 Don't think they'll do a fly over through downtown Portland, too many buildings and hills... gotta be an NFL stadium out in the burbs... BTW Awesome night. Go Timbers RCTID

Neat to see Portland taking a cue from Seattle on having the fans sing the National Anthem. Classy move!

@bmvaughn I'm Seattle supporter. As true as you get. But tonight their version was much better than ours. That said, having followed the Cascadian clubs for years, I doubt they'll match this level again. It was the specialness of the night taking over.

@carella211 Portland is known for having the best fans in pro sports, look at the blazers and now the timbers. but i agree the opening night was spectacular but i do believe they will keep it up.
