The Portland Timbers Army is front and center for their club’s run to the MLS Cup. The team has never won the Cup, but they are up 1-0 in the conference finals after a 3-1 win over FC Dallas on Sunday. During the match, fans unveiled their latest Kenny Powers-inspired “tifo.” It was impressive in both it’s size and execution and the fact that the team’s fans committed to this bit. Apparently, this started a few weeks ago with this sign. (via MLS Soccer)
After a quick glance, I have not located anyone on the Timbers roster named Kenny or Powers. Or anyone who looks like a goatee’d Danny McBride. So the origin of this “tifo” is likely that someone said, “We’re cup-bound!” Then someone else said, “Cup-bound and down! Like that show we watch on my parents’ HBO Go login!” Then they went to a copy shop / brewery to drink craft beer filled with locally-grown hops and eat meals created using fresh farm-to-table ingredients while this giant-ass banner was created. Then the same thing happened, but with an even bigger sign. I have no clue where they came up with Kenny Powers riding a bull. I just hope they make the Cup final so they can create a sign that has to do with fixin’s.
