"These are some photos from last Monday, when I was celebrating the MLS Cup winning with some soccer friends. The jersey and scarves are all a gift from Edwin (Trejo). He came to Rio for the World Cup final, and we exchange Timbers and Coritiba goodies.
By the way, congratulations for Timbers Army great work. The supporters are the main reason I started following the team, and suddenly became a fan just like you all, most of the times sleeping badly just to watch the Portland boys on the field till 2am. Once again, congratulations for the epic star above"
