Chin up, Timbers fans

Let 'Em See Ya Sweat

On draw with Timbers: "Portland deserved to win, every time they were kicking the ball forward it seemed like they were going to score. I don't think Portland deserved to draw the game, and I didn't think we deserved to draw the game either. They deserved to win." On atmosphere at JELD-WEN Field: "I've played in a lot of stadiums before. It was a great atmosphere playing at Barcelona, playing at Arsenal, playing some big games in the World Cup, but I have to say the fans are amazing. Credit to them, they are amazing – they didn't stop singing, they were there an hour before the game outside singing. Wow. Amazing."

Spencer post-game comments on DC United

I do remember it quite vividly. It was at Stamford Bridge and I think it was myself and Kasey on the field with the referee, and behind us right along the halfway line there were maybe 25 horses stopping the Chelsea fans and the Millwall fans from going into a riot. So as soon as I put the ball down I took three steps back, ran as quick as I can, hit the shot, it gets saved and I turned and ran as fast as I could up the tunnel. That's probably what I remember more about the penalty kick more than anything.

Great audience, great atmosphere, I can see how a lot of teams have problems when they have to play here. The enthusiastic crowd can always be a very difficult thing for the opponent.
