Can't wait for the game.

As previously mentioned.
It also needs a National Stadium dedicated to the game
I'd support the Timbers if I lived in Portland but I live in Miami. If Inter want my support they'll have to do a better job of getting me access to reliable public transportation.
I hope it's a good game.

Good football. Commentary is not bad...is it natural turf?

(2,663 posts)8. Disappointed, and not just for the result.
Both teams are capable of dazzling footy, but neither played to their potential. As a showcase for America's highest league, it was pretty lackluster. And the flopping was certainly enough to make the usual anti-footy naysayers sneer.
That said, the atmosphere in the stadium was incredible, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to experience it in person. Obviously, I wish we had won, but just being in the final at alllet alone hosting itseemed a pipe dream two months ago.
Also, PK's suck.
