Default The Portland Timbers Are All Class

What an amazing show of support from the team and their fans. I got kind of choked up. Best "Make-A-Wish" story ever.

Atticus Lane-Dupre, Man of the Match
On why he chose to play the Timbers for his wish, and be able to include his teammates:
“Because usually kids just choose to go to Disneyland with their family or getting something and I chose something that lots of people could do.”

On which of his four goals was his favorite:
“The one where I nutmegged Will Johnson.”

On what it was like to play in front of the Timbers Army and against the Timbers:
“Exciting.”

It was the first loss for the Timbers since March 9.

Love it. Hope that kid kicks cancer's ass. It can be done.

Atticus gets a nice shout out on ESPN's Sportscenter as well.

Classy move by Stuart Scott, cancer survivor.

I love the 'No Pity' sign.

What would have happened if the Portland Timbers had smoked these kids 11,000 - 0?

Either way though, thats awesome of them, a really amazing experience.
