Great news coming out of Portland, OR today. The Portland Timbers soccer team are going to be admitted to the MLS in 2011. Tonight the Timbers take on MLS side New York Red Bulls in a friendly game - should be some celebration at PGE Park - just wish I was there to witness it.
With Seattle making their league debut this week and Vancouver, BC also earning a 2011 spot, the expectations of Pacific NorthWest 'derbies' is something to look forward to.
I was lucky enough to visit PGE Park in Portland last July to watch the Timbers take on Puerto Rico. What an atmosphere - 12,500 on a balmy Thursday evening to watch a game that was of an acceptable level.
MLS may not be to the standard of the English, Spanish or Italian leagues, but it's enjoyable.
Looking forward to getting my season ticket and seeing some good games - hopefully Beckham hasn't completely deserted the American game by then!
