Timbers Articles
Mark writes occasionally about the Portland Timbers, Portland Oregon’s professional soccer team, for the Portland Mercury. The Timbers play in the United Soccer Leagues Division 1, but are expected to move into Major League Soccer for the 2011 season, if all goes according to plan. Mark continues to cover the Timbers from Shanghai with help from all the dedicated fans on the Timbers Army message board. Mark follows the games via USL Live and John Strong and Andy Mac on 95.5 The Game FM. These columns are cross-posted here, but below is a link index of his columns on Blogtown, if you are interested in reading the great, bad and idiotic comments the columns recieved.
