I'm really excited to see the soccer-crazed army of local fans (one of which is me) get behind this club! Thank goodness that ‘Emerald City Greens’ load of bollocks didn’t come to fruition.

Revs, no. And I'm in L.A. Maybe I'll just prop an ear toward the sky and listen for the dueling chants ... To my knowledge, no one-off green shirts for the Revs. Red Sox, yes. Revs, no.

Best I can do. Revs jerseys welcomed, but anything green is preferred. (out of curiosity: Revs = Boston = Irish community = have the Revs ever done a one-off green shirt?) $30 gets you a bus ticket to and from Portland for the game, fitz. Best I can do.

Don't pull a muscle trying to pat yourself on the back. In all seriousness, it's good that they're keeping the name. And the badge is fairly decent (no soccer ball on it... hooray!). Now if the organization could just get a decent MLS stadium and ditch the marching band idea, they'd be heading in the right direction.

Come out on May 10 and see what a real supporters group looks like. @fitz – if you have been to a sounders game at Qwest field you’ll understand where Jon is coming from.

When I was in Ireland last week it was telling me that all of the blog readers were too. Either that or everyone was following me across Europe. Steve, it’s a system quirk.
