CONCACAF Beyond the Pitch: Portland Timbers & Thorns

[@garyszabo7742]

Portland are the king of clubs!

[@JP_Lopez_]

This is really cool; can more MLF teams affiliate with NWFL teams, please?

[@alainmagera502]

what's that ?

[@HaylonHarroo87]

The most exciting player in MLS, Diego Valeri.

[@NicholasGarnerPDX]

I agree that it would have been nice if MLS were also fielding women's teams. I imagine the reason(s) why they aren't is more complicated than you imagine.

[@heatguyjr]

why did they stop doing this series?

[@endurancemomma]

Does anyone know the song at 12:56?

[@drewjr5856]

i wish other citys support the nwsl like they support the mls, respect por portland, love tobin heath tho

[@stp1093]

PORTSCUM! In all seriousness though, Portland is actually one of the better run teams in MLS. And attending a Sounders-Timbers match in Portland is definitely on my bucket list.

[@cornerclick1469]

Thorns will be one of the top female clubs in the world someday. We already have like 5 current or former players on the US national team (Klingenberg, Heath, Horan, Morgan, and you could include Sonnett at this point), were rumored to be getting a French superstar, and we already have a league title. If we could just get more silverware, MLS success, and *hopefully* a Female Champions League. You know, Id really like to see that and I bet a lot people would to. Lets try to get one in North America in the next 30 years. Okay? Okay.

Now if only more MLS teams took up the NWSL...

[@alainmagera502]

what's that ?

[@internetameera]

+Mr. Makaveli the NWSL is the National Women's Soccer League. It's the highest tier in women's soccer here in the USA.

[@alainmagera502]

TheMiddleKiddo oh ok thanks

[@NicholasGarnerPDX]

Calmer than you are dude.

[@myboyblue4383]

Mexitrolls incoming..

[@cody1212143]

lol ,why they gotta make a new name and jersey s for women? because of $$$$$$... in Mexico there's female teams but with same clubs colors and sponsors...

[@myboyblue4383]

+cody1212143 calm down

[@NicholasGarnerPDX]

+cody1212143 Or it's because the women's league is sponsored by Nike and the men's by Adidas. I guess it still comes down to money but not in the way you're misunderstanding it.

[@amimismoXD]

+bluecrayon 32 ¡¡¡wow!!! is the dallas guy

[@myboyblue4383]

Anthony Angeles Because generally whenever the MLS or American soccer is mentioned in general. Mexican fans come and bash it for no particular reason.
