[Johnny Canuck]

Hey, we got our team in Vancouver today.

Good luck to Portland. We're pulling for you.

I can't wait for that first home game against the Grizz in the expanded stadium.

Question....

When the new MLS team comes to town, will they just assume the Portland Timbers franchise? Are will they get a entirely brand new name?

They will retain the name 'Timbers.'

Did anyone go to the game ('scuse me , match) against Puerto Rico last night? More than 14,000 people, great atmosphere, great night. I find myself going to more and more Timber games.

Caught it on the tube. Wish I would have gone. :-\

Yeah, I made that mistake for the Sounders game.

Tonight was pretty good, too. Fewer people but actually really good soccer.

Maybe some of the Army opted to stay at the Oregon Brewers Festival. I saw quite a bit of Timbers shirts there yesterday afternoon.
