Years have gone by and I've finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: "A pretty move, for the love of God."
And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don't give a damn which team or country performs it.

Timbers Home Opener
The Portland Timbers will play their home opener against the Vancouver Whitecaps tomorrow, Friday, and hope for a little revenge after we fell to our northern neighbors 1-0 last month. It's a good time and all of Portland should turn up. You'll find a preview of the match over at the excellent timberlog. If you can't make it, Saturday night they meet up with the Minnesota Thunder. If you've never been to a game, you're missing out on one of Portland's best-kept secrets. No piped-in chants and music, just a fervent, grassroots, incredibly friendly fan base that makes it the best sports event in P-Town.
