Fans at the Portland Timbers Game Sing the National Anthem

[ScooterX6945]

Good God.....if that doesn't give you chills...I don't know what will!!!

[Ge0vone]

Last night was much better

[Bennyboards]

All of you saying america fuck yeah.... No Portland fuck yeah Do i see anywhere else in the u.s. doing this? no :)

[BLUE5294]

Nationalism isnt the focus point here. The real beauty of this video is the fans, the fans of soccer. Im glad the Timbers and their Army can set an example for the rest of the nation how to support their club. It shows the unity and the magic that soccer has to offer. Soccer fever is sweeping across the country. More fans everday. Thank you Portland!

[dirtybunny987]

Yea im proud to be American too!

Fat, Selfish and Lazy.

best life ever

[brroooks]

everyone from the Pacific NW look up Republic of Cascadia. The movement is growing, and if we get enough supporters, it can be done!!

[TheISHYGDDT]

american soccer fans are all communists

[Roxxzor816]

[MrAndrewdamon]

every sports stadium should require its fans to do this !

[e1finity]

Americaaaa....fuck yeah!

[tbrays98]

Soccer is growing in America, and I am happy that it finally is. :)

[jinxedt13]

18 dislikes...must be Taliban members.

[bavorwerk]

I love it how every person is singing in a different key, as loud as possible.

[bamasabanfan]

Amazing! It would be great if every American sports arena would be this patriotic.

[stevetaylor524]

dirtybunny987 needs her little mouth washed out ... This was awesome

[irepnep]

Stadium wide tifo tonight...

[TheSadbuttrue13]

this is a great supporters, grettings and blessing from south america

[dirtybunny987]

Why the FUCK would you memorize the lyrics to this??

So "gay"

[milokeeper805]

@dirtybunny987 wtf are you talking about?lol

[packeropie]

@dirtybunny987 wow dude, way to be an asshole...why be a dickhead?

[bubblessob]

for the record, the Sons of Ben and the Philadelphia Union were doing this the year before Portland came into the league. If only there was a roof over the River End...

[Paycheckpics]

@bubblessob For the record, the Portland Timbers have been doing this opening night since 1975.

[adnanlfc1]

Americans are just weird

[nuggz503]

@adnanlfc1 No, This is just Portland. If the entire country was like this the world would probably be a better place ; )

RCTID! 

[dirtybunny987]

@nuggz503

If the entire world was like what?

Kissing Americas ass?

[jiminy82]

@adnanlfc1 And we wouldn't have it any other way!

[Hamlet137475]

wow, glad to see soccer is doing better than i thought, what an atmosphere! True fans there.

[Desjardins92]

fuck yeah

[MrMIKETROJAN]

Very, very nice!

[beefycharles12]

I'm a sounders fan. eff the rivalry, this is one of the greatest things i've seen.

[milokeeper805]

USA needs to play mexico here! not in Columbus fans seem to be better here

[89bteal]

@milokeeper805 I wanna say the won't play in Seattle and Portland because they play on artificial grass. I think the National team can only play on grass.

[milokeeper805]

@89bteal nah USA had a game for Gold cup in seattle didn't they? not the one that just passed but the one before it...and Costa Rica home games for the world cup qualifiers are played in turf so yeah..just think about these fans singing the national anthem against mexico! i would get major chills!

[89bteal]

@milokeeper805 I'm not sure, I haven't heard of them playing in Seattle but I may be wrong. That's what I'm saying! I would fly up from New Orleans just to see them play in a great atmosphere like Seattle or Portland. Playing in Columbus is good too, it's a home field advantage for sure. I'm just tired of playing U.S. "home games" against Mexico right on the border. lol

[milokeeper805]

@89bteal i would to hells yeah! am from California so its not that far off for me it would be good to get away from all these mexican fans lol...i know i think its stu[id how USA plays mexico in like LA lol

[Headcheezonium]

@milokeeper805 The 2009 Gold Cup wasn't an official FIFA tournament (It was organized by CONCACAF, But FIFA had nothing to do with it). Only the one right after the World Cup is organized by FIFA. (2003, 2007, 2011). That is why we were able to hold a game at Quest.

[milokeeper805]

@Headcheezonium oh dam had no idea either way USA is host should i think the US should choose where tp have the games at

[diegomanya17]

Stupid americans

[Headcheezonium]

@diegomanya17 I was wondering when you would come back. We haven't seen you for a while.

[diegomanya17]

@Headcheezonium You miss my cum? bitch

[milokeeper805]

@diegomanya17 lol fagit

[diegomanya17]

Stupid americans

[angrysquirrels012]

greetings from Mexico

[zaga0408]

What a solid following for such a new expansion team.

[douglasjschroeder4]

As a football fan from Minnesota, that was awesome!

[nuggz503]

Millions immigrate from all over the world, LEGALLY ; ), with hopes of joining the MIGHTY TIMBERS ARMY!!

[RayneAngelus]

So... horribly... out of key.

[DJHarrison93]

The US national team needs to have a game here.

[Shuffler2417]

@DJHarrison93 Century Link Is WAY BETTER

[Aggromerchant]

@DJHarrison93

Widen the field and install permanent grass.

[twinlacrew]

@DJHarrison93 your are correct im from LA a place the suppose to fill the stupid Home depot center but we have had a season with at less 3 part of the stadium fill but we have no problem getting usmnt games here I don't know why but for sure Portland Timber have a great Army its fun wathing the TIMBER ARMY KEEP IT UP

[SteveOXing]

There are many reasons to question American pride in the world today...This is definitely not one of them. You have to be proud of this, even if you completely hate America. People from all over the world can relate to and feel the passion from this video, and it truly makes me proud to be an American....and a soccer fan :)

[MChrisG7]

Awesome. Just awesome! DCU!!!

[JPJones03223]

This is why we love the MLS. It's the only sports league in America with that kind of passion and atmosphere!

[MgoMuse]

RCTID!!!

[Neverenderfan]

lol the guy at 0:07 is like wtf???

[OrangeDiceDubstep]

KFC!!

[curly687]

@watchinVidsFerDayz

Agreed. I'm all for heated rivalries and there is a place for trash talking, but there's a little too much nastiness on both sides. I appreciate the sportsmanship.

-A Timbers Fan

[rosecitytillidie]

@birdlydish124 You my friend need to stop trolling

[ThePTFC6]

@birdlydish124

Who said anything about being an embarrassed American?

I am PROUD to be an American.

I'm pretty sure that the other 18,626 people who were there singing with me that night feel the same way.

RCTID!

[WatchinVidsFerDayz]

Boy, what yall lack in singing talent you make up for in spirit.

I think Portland and Seattle should keep their rivalry, but be a little nicer. Show the rest of the U.S. they need to have fans like the Pacific Northwest.

Good luck next season.

-A Sounders Fan

[nuggz503]

@WatchinVidsFerDayz its portland v seattle, nicer would entail someone not getting stabbed.

cordially yours,

A Timbers Army

[rosecitytillidie]

...I mean at your job and stuff like that if you even have one

[rosecitytillidie]

I really want to see you in person... You probably don't act like this in real life.

[Primordialfan1]

G'wan AMERICA!!!!!

[spunkets]

99% of the fans in the stadium are moderately-affluent, white, politically-liberal, and with an average IQ below 90.

If the whole goddamned stadium had burned down while they were there, it would have resulted in a net loss of 0...in terms of progressive evolution of the human species.

[rosecitytillidie]

@spunkets I tried arguing with this dirtbag earlier in October and he eventually fucked off...

[spunkets]

@rosecitytillidie

You have no argument mainly b/c I haven't given you one. In addition, you are a 25 yr old, intellectually-challenged fascist idiot who still can't form a solid stool.

My advice: get a job, stop leeching off your mother, and ACT like a man...even if you can't figure out how to BE a man.

[rosecitytillidie]

@spunkets I have to laugh at your response... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

At the age of fifteen you just don't give a crap about what people have to say... especially people that bag on your hometown team.

[spunkets]

@rosecitytillidie

Yeah. You don't give a crap. And this is why you keep arguing w/ me.

Fucking idiot.

[spunkets]

@FlamingBitchTits

Blocked you Bitch. And it wasn't so much about YOU, per se, it was about not needing to see a man's ass every time I check your site.

At least try to mix up your obsessions (unless you only have one).

[spunkets]

@FlamingBitchTits

No. You need a man to punch you in your vagina...THEN rub you from head to toe with with fire ants. Not going to unblock you. Mainly b/c you suck.

[spunkets]

@FlamingBitchTits

O.k., I lied. It WAS about you. More to do w/ you being a bitch, than flaming.

I don't get along with bitches.

[johnmtk]

@spunkets LOL why are you so upset over timber fans?

[Arjan2323]

@spunkets Fan allegiances aside (found this from ESPN MLS site), but a stadium of that demographic (moderately-affluent, white, politically-liberal, college educated) would, on average have an IQ in the 107-110 range.

[Dunmare]

Can't wait, 100 days from now ...

[elwin145]

WOW!!! Incredible atmosphere. MLS is growing each year

[PittilloNando]

Oh yes ! Finally I can see , that Nor- Americans , are taking care , time and appreciating ,  this wonderful game , football ... as we call it , here in south America. USA , in the future will be a big market , for football-soccer players of all over the world . I am a huge fan of Seattle Sounders , Portland Timbers , DC united ... to be honest I love U.S football ( soccer ) . From Lima - Peru .

[spunkets]

its interesting to watch how they are able to sing it so confidently, but don't even know what it is they are singing.

I guess that's the same reason they are so easily persuaded to like sports.

[pwnage1731]

@spunkets what?

[spunkets]

@pwnage1731

I'm saying they are mindless idiots.

[valldou]

pretty lame if yo ask me...

[cmiller1187]

@valldou shut the fuck up dumbass swede and go eat some more herring. no one asked you.

[spunkets]

@cmiller1187

Dumbass? This from someone who snow boards off a roof?

[cmiller1187]

@spunkets wasn't talking to you bitch. apparently you're a dumbass too since you couldn't read the info bar on the snowboard vid...

[spunkets]

@cmiller1187

You know what, gangsta?

If you said that to my face, I'd put my foot up your fuzzy little cunt.

[cmiller1187]

@spunkets lol no you wouldn't. you're just another obnoxious keyboard warrior who thinks he is top shit.

[spunkets]

@cmiller1187

I AM top shit, son. And yes, I would break you down like a cheap lawn chair if you EVER called me a "bitch" in person.

[cmiller1187]

@spunkets lol wow. u mad bro? stop behaving like an inbred sloth and embarrassing yourself on youtube. its not cool or clever to be a tosser and to go around youtube trying to troll everyone. its so annoying man and you and everyone else who do it are a complete tool. no one cares what you have to say, so go back to chronic your masturbating and have a nice day. fuckin loser.

on a relevant note: timbers fans are awesome and so is this vid :)

[spunkets]

@cmiller1187

Listen you short-legged little fucktard. YOU are the one who started calling people offensive names in this thread (go check yourself) so don't give me shit about trolling, or being a tool.

Its obvious to anyone who reads what you've said that you can dish it out, but can't take it. This is why if we stripped your pants off we'd find a tiny baby pussy.

On a relevant note, Timber fans are mindless, brainwashed, dumbed down morons. I'm sure that's why you get along with them.

[dmdt1313]

@spunkets Sounds like he needs a 'Big Boy' haircut to me!

[zaldare]

Thats cool and all, but can they jump?

[rosecitytillidie]

@zaldare check out Portland vs Toronto tetris chant

[CedarLand]

All you NFL fans take note, I have not seen 1 NFL game with the entire crowd singing our anthem with such tremendous pride....This country is truly the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave

[ejdacanay]

Holy shit this gave me chills.

[Grimmjow316]

It's a shame that that they haven't scheduled any US friendlies there.

[WoolyWoolwine83]

@Grimmjow316 They have......except it was a women's friendly. And it sold out, with crowds as big as this one. When you sell out a stadium for a WOMEN'S friendly, you need to schedule more matches there

[rosecitytillidie]

big game vs the dynamo tonight... crowd over 20000 expected.

[TheCFK15]

Brilliant fans! Are you like this at every game ? I'm a Leeds United fan and we have good fans.... check our videos out and let me know what you think. Keep up the good work!!

[nuggz503]

@TheCFK15 pretty much. We get pretty crazy at the reserve matches as well. Times this by ten when we play those assholes up the road, seattle. Its the little football oasis that some thought didn't exist in the US.

[nuggz503]

Sticking this in my FiFa 12

[rosecitytillidie]

A bunch of people doing something coherent qualifies them for animal planet... wow okay then I don't take that as a something negative... oh wait yeah I do humans are sentient animals arent

[rosecitytillidie]

Nationalism is the beauty of the human race... its what gives us thrills chills and whatever hills we have in energy in our body's nervous system. It provides great entertainment in a healthy way for humans to interact cohesively. Whether you think animals can sing together or not all together is your opinion unless you know a video that I can see.

[rosecitytillidie]

Oh and people who say things like spunkets are definitely Nhilists. Look that one up big boy...

[rosecitytillidie]

whatever bro, seems like you should be saying that kind of stuff when were all dying cuz of natural disaster crawling around like larvae, ants, and worms and ravaging like dogs in a time of crisis... definitely not what is going on right here.

[spunkets]

@rosecitytillidie

I disagree. I mean this is, after all, a goddamn football game. Nothing very important, especially in the face of some real emergency.

So, its easy to believe in a good god, and a good government under these circumstances, and to even sing about it in a stadium of like-minded idiots who have also come to enjoy some dull-witted spectacle of acceptable, culturally-instituionalized past time activities where we watch people hurt each other whilst moving a pig bladder forward.

[rosecitytillidie]

@spunkets Its only important because there is people and nationalism are involved. Take nationalism out the equation this video doesn't exist.

[spunkets]

Respond to this video...

I'm just trying to make sense...

Could use your good advice.

[rosecitytillidie]

@spunkets Dude first of all I really hate people who act smart to to make other people fell dumb becuz they are insicure... second of all i cant take your comments seriously because your making sense out of nonsense... and third I absolutely have no idea why you wouldn't have a feeling of contention watching this video if you truly are a human and have feelings. If you weren't there like I was then you cannot compare this video to the wretched and horrible things thatyouthinkthisvideoresembles

[carmel1119]

@rosecitytillidie

"Nationalism is an infantile disease" ~ Albert Einstein

spunkets analysis is dead accurate. You're looking at this in a very shallow way. The interrelationship between nationalism and animal like behaviour(s) such as war is irrefutable. Einstein recognized these dangers clearly and actively promoted anti-nationalism.

So yes, this should be on Animal Planet, these people are behaving like sheep or programmed, mindless robots if you prefer.

[spunkets]

Shouldn't this be on Animal Planet?

[ApolloWasRealHoax]

Fucking third division football, and if that wasn't enough we see a bunch of fucking rednecks singing Donald Rumsfeld's favorite song.

[MACHIN3K1NG]

@ApolloWasRealHoax Yet you're here watching the video...

[rosecitytillidie]

Spunkets, you are definitely not American. Buddy we dont have time for wasted space like ur little comment about our national anthem so shut the f up and GTFO.

[spunkets]

@rosecitytillidie

Hold me whilst I pee.

[rosecitytillidie]

@spunkets Can everybody please dislike this guys comments so we dont have to have his crap being read.

[spunkets]

@rosecitytillidie

If people act like animals on an episode of Animal Planet, I have every right to suggest comparison. In my estimation, these people are acting like worms, or ants, or larvae, or dogs. When people act like this, it makes me think they are brainwashed, and in this case especially, I think I am right.

[GalaxyBeatsMexico]

I'm Borussia Dortmund Fan and I've to say it's amazing!

[spunkets]

I'm guessing most of these people were born with hooves.

Who praises WAR, in union, otherwise?

[moore105464]

@headcheezonium Australians and New Zealanders will call it Football, trust me i've lived in both. As for south africans, the whites will call it soccer and the blacks will call it Football so it would depend who you ask.

[TexasRKOwned]

I say....when Jurgen Klinsmann need a location for the US Mens Soccer Team....they need to go to Jeld-Wen Field in Portland, Oregon....LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN :P

[nuggz503]

God damn I get all choked up everytime I see this. Great first MLS season, Timbers. You continue to make us proud. So close to the playoffs but for the first MLS season I have no complaints. This year the nation and perhaps the world got a glimps of the crazy passion that the Timbers Army have for the sport. The soccer globe saw how much Portland loves and respects the world's game. The only direction from here is up.

RCTID!!!

[rosecitytillidie]

Oh we will... don't worry the US has better fans than any other country in the world... they just haven't found the love in football yet... when every other sport is locked out because of ridiculous ticket costs the MLS will be flooded with supporters... 20 dollar TA ticket till I die...

[MultiTurk61]

american fans trying to be like us you scumbags you never be better than us seattle timber fans ok but still not better and never will be

[Headcheezonium]

@MultiTurk61 What do you mean "Like Us?" You're an American, so thanks for contradicting yourself!

[MultiTurk61]

@Headcheezonium i aint

[Headcheezonium]

@MultiTurk61 You live in the United States, so you're American.

[MultiTurk61]

@Headcheezonium hahahah yea rite lol only good mls fans timbers and seattle but never can be better than the south american or european ultras ok put that on your head

[Headcheezonium]

@MultiTurk61 Then why don't you move to somewhere other than the USA? Since you apparently hate your country so much.

[MultiTurk61]

@Headcheezonium omg dude whatever you say

[DBeckham512]

Well done, Portland. Set the bar high, and hopefully the rest of the MLS supporters will follow.

[Sparky1881]

So happy to be able to say "I was there." That one game, the first home opener, is the single greatest sporting event I've ever been to. And I've been to a wide variety. I don't care what you're a fan of, that game was just one hell of an atmosphere.

[wicketr]

I've never in my life had a desire to go up to Portland Or being from the Southeast US. But damn that makes me want to go see a game there. That game environment looks amazing!

[AlphaMale593]

I was just at the timbers and union game tonight. I was surprised to see a bunch of timbers fans in the philly area

[hippykiller1]

Damn I miss Portland. 

[VoidOnTuesday]

One of the few sports arenas in the country where the players are afraid of the fans instead of the other way around.

As it should be.

[lukeisntgay]

im a redbull fan and honestly i dont know who could possibly hate on the timbers

[randyuns]

Please vote for our video, #1701 on the Timbers Facebook page Fan Draft. Second page of the videos. We're trying for season tickets for this GREAT team!

[bytesize]

I'm a Philadelphia Union fan/Sons of Ben member and I absolutely adore this. Portland has wonderful, passionate fans out there and it's great to see them finally get their team!! Major League Soccer needs more fans like these. Take notes, New York...

[sarsmask]

Kid at 1:03 looks stoned out of his gourd

Proud to be born and raised in Portland!
