love the portland seattle rivalry, both these clubs make mls exciting. plus real salt lake is bringing possession soccer to mls as well, this league will be great in a few years
This poem is for you timbers! THE PROVIDENCE PARK Raindrops on your Roses since 1893 the smell of Pine and wet grass Ohh providecia park ohh providecia park. King Pele saw you touch the ball, As the groom passionately kisses his Beloved Bride! The ball touched the two Post! For something they call you divine providecia !! The first Cup arrived and Las Rosas adorned your first great medal. The timbers are coming !!! By Portland By Goose hollow By Pele By the history Every afternoon since the 70s without MLS By Cascadia The timbers want to go around the house! The timbers want to sing my only sunshine The timbers want to stay in immortality! Come on rose city !!!!
Makes me proud to live in Portland. No matter which sport, the fans in Portland are the best. I see the same Portland pride at the Rose Garden. Go Timbers!
this video is proof that our national anthem is musically one of the hardest to sing in the world. they should've chosen a lower register or a different key so the higher notes didn't just sound like shouting in random tones.
This is how you grow future superstars, these kids who're standing on the field with the players will be future Messi, Ronaldos etc. as they really see what's football about, not some 22 men running around in empty and silent 100 000 NFL stadiums and speaking Spanish.... You need to live every sport to be really great at it...
I would love to see either Manchester City or Manchester United take on the Portland Timbers in the Timbers "backyard" as you will and see who has the better fanbase.
HOW THERE IS NOT A "SUPPORTERS" AWARD GIVEN OUT AT THE END OF THE YEAR FOR SUPPORTERS PROVIDING THE BEST ATMOSPHERE, JUST BOGGLES ME...SOMEONE NEEDS TO REWARD THESE GUYS!!

As a Whitecap Southsider, my hats off to the Timber's Army singing the Red White and Blue Anthem. Can't wait to renew the Cascadia rivalry again this season :)
@Lab33r portland timbers fans are on par with those teams portland has a great fanbase. American Football is the fastest growing sport in Poland and is also growing rapidly in germany and other parts of europe.
The flags flown by the Timbers Army show a different sort of patriotism from American, that of course being independence of Cascadia from the USA. There were Cascadian flags in every shot of the crowd and only two shots with American flags. 0:36 is the best. That right there is patriotism. Kwanesum chinook illahee!/Long live Cascadia!
@limericklad2000 No, it is a particularly hard song and I'm not a Timbers fan. Its well known that the US national anthem is a notoriously difficult song. It jumps around a lot and changes octaves. Yes, a lot of people try to sing it the wrong way, but its still a difficult song to sing, especially for an amateur singer.
@jradflow4477 How? The national anthem is about passion for our country and the people in it. I've never seen 20,000 people sing the national anthem with that much passion before. If to you all our anthem is, is a song that a pretty girl sings at the beginning of sporting events then I'm sorry, it's more than that.
@Rao665 It's only a particularly hard song if you start off a whole octave too high like they did. I'm nitpicking I know but if they were going to go to all the trouble of doing it they might as well have done it right.
@rosecitytillidie They, (not Nike, someone else) already spent millions renovating the stadium. There is no reason to change it again, it's perfect. RCTID!
@lkrnpk Yeah I see your point, but I think that the naming of a team a certain way shouldn't bother people in any way, whether your a "minority" or not, because in the end you show up at the stadium to watch a good match with the best soccer players available regardless of their ethnicity, and that's what really matters in the end.
I would love to see any top3 "boarder jumpin" mexican teams go up against the top 3 of our best MLS teams and u tell me who's gonna crack!!! We may not have giant stadiums that can hold 150,000+ or we don't have a worldwide reputation as a soccer/football superpower. But at least every 4 years we can compete with the best in the world to compete (win or lose) for the World Cup. Something that I hope Mexico will... NEVER WIN!!! As an American... I know what good competition is all about!!!
The anthem is not difficult to sing if you have good voice, I'm not an American but I wouldn't have a problem with it, I duno why even popular singers struggle with it sometimes, maybe it's because they're nervous performing it in front of thousands of people...
lol Im an American and we aint got a chance. We can finish better than the likes of Mexico and England, but we still got a ways to go until we win the World Cup.
@Hell01234u my point is that they consider football/soccer a foreigner sport... At least that's what I gather following American mainstream media. And I can't blame cause at least in the past it was like that, I mean wtf is Chivas USA??? It's like somebody would introduce American football to Great Britain and would call a club Patriots UK... and I think that's how it is in many areas, when someone builds a stadium and says ''there's a big Spanish speaking population nearby'' then they...
@limericklad2000 I suppose in the whole week that we knew that this was going to happen we should have all gotten singing lessons so as to not offend anyone's sensitive ears...
I’m from Europe, but Timbers Army... man they’re giving me goosebumps!
Man, this gives me the chills...
Timbers Army is not a fan base. It's a culture.
This video screams freedom
FC New England hope you know that comment was from FIVE years ago and Atlanta wasn’t even named by that yime
From a L.A Galaxy fan. One word. Beautiful!
Looking forward to playing against you this Sunday.
love the portland seattle rivalry, both these clubs make mls exciting. plus real salt lake is bringing possession soccer to mls as well, this league will be great in a few years
B-e-a-utiful. Best fans in the MLS, from a Sporting Fan.
Damn, I love their fans
I remember being at that game in the TA! Was The BEST!
So glad the MLS has fans like this! It's surely moving into the right direction!!!
- Greetings from Europe :)
i like this, i am really proud of what american soccer league is fast becoming wow.
Lies again? Nurofen + Aspirin
Much love from Houston, you guys rep it like no other.
This poem is for you timbers!

I'm so proud of where the mls has gone! *tear*
Huge props for Portland for this. Give credit where it's deserve. From a Galaxy Fan.
That feeling when you come across this after watching riot footage from Portland.
I hope making it to the MLS finals will help the city. I'm a lifelong Oregonian and I want to see this city have some joy
I love my Revs and but this is fucking wicked. WTG PORTLAND!!!! You make this sport and nation proud
Makes me proud to live in Portland. No matter which sport, the fans in Portland are the best. I see the same Portland pride at the Rose Garden. Go Timbers!
Wow. Awesome!! Admiration from Montréal.
every American sports stadium should have the fans sing like this ! !
Freaking awesome.
Timbers might take this cup home this season with large fans with them always
this video is proof that our national anthem is musically one of the hardest to sing in the world. they should've chosen a lower register or a different key so the higher notes didn't just sound like shouting in random tones.
Damn, from a Galaxy fan, no one else can beat the Timbers in supportive fans. No one.
Except galaxy of course don’t be a trader
Oh my greatness, this is heaven
this should be seen more often
I would kill to be in that stadium wen the TIMBERS PLAY THE SOUNDERS
BEAUTIFUL!! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!
Now that's a HARDCORE FANBASE!!!! Sory Trailbalzers... The Timbers are taking over.
This is how you grow future superstars, these kids who're standing on the field with the players will be future Messi, Ronaldos etc. as they really see what's football about, not some 22 men running around in empty and silent 100 000 NFL stadiums and speaking Spanish.... You need to live every sport to be really great at it...
amazing!
Whitecaps, seattle and portland all have the best fans in mls!!! Pacific northwest representing!!!
The sound quality is not poor... the supporter chants are just too awesome for the microphones.
No matter what team you support you have to give the TA maaad respect.
I'm a redbull fan but damn, out of all the MLS clubs the Portland Timbers has the best fans. There stadium is like always full!!! xD
I would love to see either Manchester City or Manchester United take on the Portland Timbers in the Timbers "backyard" as you will and see who has the better fanbase.
Man Timber fans are the best soccer/football fans in the world.
no doubt about it !
HOW THERE IS NOT A "SUPPORTERS" AWARD GIVEN OUT AT THE END OF THE YEAR FOR SUPPORTERS PROVIDING THE BEST ATMOSPHERE, JUST BOGGLES ME...SOMEONE NEEDS TO REWARD THESE GUYS!!
Greece was also in a "Fantasy World" before winning Euro 2004.
Hands down the best fans of any team of any sport in the country. Yeah. I said it.
If there were the more teams like Portland (and Seattle), the MLS would be one of the top 5 leagues in the world. You can only dream.
Beautiful :)
@chickychang1 Cause that's where the Timbers play. ;)
@because that defines REAL patriotism...
Best atmosphere of any American sport.

Seattle might have a fan competition here
No matter what the Seattle trolls say, no one can take away from me what it felt like to be in the middle of the Timbers Army and sing that song.
This is what patriotism is all about.
@Lab33r portland timbers fans are on par with those teams portland has a great fanbase. American Football is the fastest growing sport in Poland and is also growing rapidly in germany and other parts of europe.
Reasons #1 why the USMNT needs to play there
people said soccer will never grow in america all i can do is laugh cos times are changing and changing fast!!!
This is how we do Monday Night Football here in the Rose City!! RCTID!! Timbers Army is the best!!
they sing and dance to tetris if portland is winning they sing you are my sunshine, and i've heard them sing sweet Caroline during a rally
The flags flown by the Timbers Army show a different sort of patriotism from American, that of course being independence of Cascadia from the USA. There were Cascadian flags in every shot of the crowd and only two shots with American flags. 0:36 is the best. That right there is patriotism.

@NearsL its cause the game is in the west, it isn't really late there.
Soccer coming together in the u.s. from a dynamo fan.
@Usmaman07 Because it was 39 degrees out and was poring down rain. You must be a Seattle fan....
spoting kc are like this to
@matthew4389 No might about it, There's a reason why Sounders fans chant about singing and drinking beer and Timbers fans chant about footie.
u don't need to raise the bar so high, just mention some division one teams lol but on the other hand football is changing in america.
Almost as much as Seattle fans. Way to go!
@jradflow4477 How? The national anthem is about passion for our country and the people in it. I've never seen 20,000 people sing the national anthem with that much passion before.

portland very impressive
@rsoecitytillidie That will be kind of tough considering Adidas has the rights to all the MLS kits.
That’s my kind of crowd
@rosecitytillidie They, (not Nike, someone else) already spent millions renovating the stadium. There is no reason to change it again, it's perfect.
RCTID!
You clearly haven't been to many USA matches. We've done at least 40 in the Outlaws.
Amazing
Dont listen to roe5745.
I am sorry for your loss. :[
May he rest in peace.
I believe it will one day, hopefully by the 2020's
@Rao665 I've never seen 20,000 people do that before; last season it was only 18,000 lol
Jose, can you see!?
Kills me that they're the best in the league. Oh DCU, what's happened to us?
@lkrnpk Yeah I see your point, but I think that the naming of a team a certain way shouldn't bother people in any way, whether your a "minority" or not, because in the end you show up at the stadium to watch a good match with the best soccer players available regardless of their ethnicity, and that's what really matters in the end.
better start watching soccer instead of NFL
I hate how espn didn't have an overhead view of the tifo... Or I just can't find one
I would love to see any top3 "boarder jumpin" mexican teams go up against the top 3 of our best MLS teams and u tell me who's gonna crack!!! We may not have giant stadiums that can hold 150,000+ or we don't have a worldwide reputation as a soccer/football superpower.

I know what good competition is all about!!!
@angelo1405
Well said! In fact MLS should have Monday Night Football on ESPN.
the Euro is not the world cup
The anthem is not difficult to sing if you have good voice, I'm not an American but I wouldn't have a problem with it, I duno why even popular singers struggle with it sometimes, maybe it's because they're nervous performing it in front of thousands of people...
Great league though
lol Im an American and we aint got a chance. We can finish better than the likes of Mexico and England, but we still got a ways to go until we win the World Cup.
Do you they sing other songs during the match aswell, or is it just this?
wertrocks123 5 years later, I'll answer lol. Yes, the timbers army is vocal and singing the entire match
Soccer City baby!
@dstorms04 ooh right I see I see! so true... lol
Let's go timbers!! Defend Goose hollow!!!
@Hell01234u my point is that they consider football/soccer a foreigner sport... At least that's what I gather following American mainstream media.

@swagaraptor that's for best record of the season....not for best fan base
@limericklad2000 I suppose in the whole week that we knew that this was going to happen we should have all gotten singing lessons so as to not offend anyone's sensitive ears...
@Usmaman07 You just said "goddamn American flag". Nice adjective, "patriot".
@rosecitytillidie More seats would be great; there's simply no place to put them!
why is this game so late at night?
@matthew4389 And McDonalds has some compention from Wendy's.
Why did it take so long for this team to join the MLS?
Lol funny thing is half of them are probably high :P gotta love portland :D
