The Portland Timbers were awarded their first penalty ever in the MLS last night, but they had to retake it several times before they finally buried it in the back of the net. The DC United keeper, Hamid, came off his line twice and made a fool of himself. The poor fellahs only 20, but there’s no excuse for this kind of carry on. It was truly a weird night for the men in Timbers jerseys….
I've played soccer since I could walk thanks to my father and love keeping up on all the latest gear and gab. I'm in my twenties, and I'm lucky enough to have found work in search marketing for a leading soccer retailer after completing my M.A. at Georgetown in 2008. My team is Liverpool, and national side is Ireland, but I've also got a passion for GAA and a number of sports. Feel free to give me a shout on Google+
