My friend Adam’s been to two Timbers games now. The first was against Seattle, a 1-0 loss, so not only had he never seen a Timbers victory, he hadn’t even experienced a Timbers goal, the green and gold smoke afterward, the “All We Really Want Is Goals” chant, the victory-clinching Tetris chant, and log slices being lifted after the game.
This Sunday against RSL, he finally got to see it all.
