I may percolate to the top of the Timbers STH waiting list...but probably not in my lifetime unless there's a huge stadium expansion. I go to as many Timbers games as I can manage to snag a ticket to. I don't sit in the Army these days: I "watch hard," and the Army stuff, while fun, distracts me from the game too much (and I like to sit down sometimes).

MLS is getting to be a good, entertaining league. More rough play than I prefer; it stifles technically-skilled players like Darlington Nagbe when gets beefed off the ball so often w/o the defenders getting booked (same thing's true for the NWSL...really rough league), but getting better all the time in terms of quality.
