Fun fact, this is the third year my brother has designed the Spanish scarf for the Timbers Army — the supporter’s group for the #PortlandTimbers.

Anyway, my brother was going to buy it for me since he gets a discount for designing it but in the end, they told him it’s their best seller so they gave it to me for free! 😁⚽️

Isn’t it beautiful?!

Rumor is #PortlandTimbers are buying Jose Luis Caicedo! 🥳

He joined our Expansion team and is leaving us cash. Worst player on the team? Not in my books. Although yeah he was, definitely.

An emotionally engaging #portlandtimbers match tonight. To my eye Dallas had a 12th team mate on the field. #mls #football
