Yesterday was an crazy long day which began at 3am for a commercial shoot and ended around 10pm after the Timbers game. In between a shot a job for Intel and had just enough time to grab a bight to eat with my wife and kids at a mexican restaurant by the studio. I hate to admit it, but soccer is growing on me. I’m not a huge soccer guy, but good soccer is actually good. Imagine that. I still hate bad soccer though. Maybe I’m liking the Timbers more this year because they are a pretty good looking team. One of the things that ALWAYS keep me entertained during a match is the Timbers Army, the crazy fans in the north end of the stadium that have the best chants and cheers and music, they are awesome. How can you not love 3000 people all chanting in sync things like “We are green, we are white, we are f***ing dynamite”. Above is new forward Takayuki Suzuki. He is from Japan and even though I know nothing about futbol, this guy is the real deal he plays hard and has great feet and really is amazing to watch. (Oh crap I sound like I know about soccer, don’t tell anyone). Anyway, so the Army busts out a chant last night that I thought was funny, caught me off-guard and really made me laugh: “He came here from Japan…..he is the f***ing man, Suzuki oh oh, Suzuki oh oh.” I can’t get it out of my head. I wish he spoke english so he would know how cool that chant is. Maybe the Army can learn some Japanese and start a chant in Japanese for him.
