Soccerturneringen i Portland

**Ikaros Tass** · 2012-01-11, 15:14

I slutet av Februari drar våra fotbollsgrabbar iväg till andra sidan Atlanten för att spela "soccer" mot några plastgäng ifrån USA.
Självklart väldigt kul, då det är ett relativt nytt land vad gäller fotboll.

Jag tycker att denna turnering förtjänar en egen tråd, inte minst för att jag gillar ordentlig struktur.
När det väl börjar närma sig så kommer dessutom snacket att eskalera.

stream?

stream?

Väldigt bra fråga. Det vore ju extremt kul att sitta här på nätterna och låta guld-hybrisen svämma över i skrift när Gnaget gör 1-0 mot något bottengäng i MLS.

Om inte värdarna Portland Timbers fixat det så är det verkligen något AIK-media bör fixa. Jag skulle dessutom kunna tänka mig betala en slant för att göra det möjligt, och jag har en känsla av att jag är långt ifrån ensam. Går det att streama i någorlunda kvalité ifrån Skyttan så måste det ju gå att streama rätt bra ifrån en högklassig arena i USA.

AIK anordnar stream och visning på restaurang Råsunda.
Gnaget som i gemenskap!

Ja, det vore verkligen något. Det skulle vara fullproppat.

Are there any AIK meet ups planned for the matches in Portland, Oregon here in the US at the end of February/beginning of March? We will be attending with our whole family including my 77 year-old father who is a life-long AIK fan from Stockholm. Looking forward to some fun -- won't be quite as exciting as my last visit to Stockholm to see AIK vs. Hammarby, but I am sure all will enjoy Portland!

**Ikaros Tass** · 2012-02-10, 01:04

Welcome! Nice to have you here.
Since just a few of us are going to Portland to watch our team, it would be nice if the rest of us, who won't attend at the games, could find some kind of livestream. That's why I'm wondering if there use to be any streams to the friendly games, or if there are any streams planned to this one?
Would make thousands of us very happy if it where possible to follow the matches live.

Mod får gärna flytta tråden/inläggen hit.

**FreakShow** · 2012-02-13, 06:32

I think a smaller group of AIK-supporters will appear, but it's unclear if they will sit/stand together!

**Saerimner** · 2012-02-13, 07:05

Haven't heard of anyone planning to go to the US. Might be som local students, au pairs and expats showing up. Would've been a cool trip to do but it requires some planning :) Cool that your dad gets the chance to see AIK in the states! As Ikaros mentioned, we would highly appreciate information about tv broadcasts and potential streaming possibilities.

I'm a Timbers fan who saw AIK play the bastards from DIF in 2008 and had the best soccer experience of my life. I was a bit nervous about how I would be received but you guys were nothing short of amazing. You taught me your songs, bought me beer after beer and made me feel like I'd been going to AIK matches my entire life.

I'm sorry to hear there won't be many of you making the trip but for those that do I'd like to help in any way that I can. If you have questions about what to see and do, where to eat, where to stay etc., I and other Timbers fans are here for you. Just head on over to Soccer City USA Message Board - The Tournament with the Dragon Tattoo and ask away.

If I hear of any streams so you guys can watch the matches I'll be sure to post back here as well.

I saw a video posted in another thread about the tournament that was actually from our main rivals, the Seattle Sounders and if my translation software was correct you were comparing how horrible it was to DIF. Quite right. Here are some videos and pictures that do a better job representing the Timbers so enjoy!

Anyways, uocooper or elswede, have you heard anything about PT trying to buy a club in Africa (Sierra Leone to be precise)? If not, has PT been doing a lot of scouting there recently?

**Ikaros Tass** · 2012-02-13, 18:24

Last year the Timbers streamed some preseason matches online, though they weren't home matches. I think that they were only available in the US, *whisper voice* so you may want to start looking into proxy server options *ends whisper voice*.

For the exhibitions last year at Jeld-Wen, there was a video feed on the Timbers website. The video was taken directly from what they feed into the video board at the stadium. The audio was taken from the radio broadcast. They'll probably do the same thing this year.

Från forumet han länkade. Verkligen kul om det skulle kunna vara samma grej i år igen. Om det nu skulle vara så att det är "regionsskyddat" så att man måste fixa någon form utav proxy-hider, så är det väl inte svårare än så att man får fixa det.

Nice to hear!
Unfortunately, it's very expensive to travel to US. But maybe around 20 supporters will be in Portland.
But this opens up new opportunities. We are moving in to our new top modern Stadium next year, and from what I've heard, ideas of that we should arrange some sort of training-tournament in the pre-season in the feature. Maybe not next year, but maybe years after that. Since it's snowy and very cold outside this time of the year, I guess they'll close the retractable roof, and put in artificial turf. With the roof closed, we are able to have a temprature of 59°F/15°C even if there are far below 32°F/0°C outside. And with a tournament there, it´s not impossible that Portland would be a team to invite. Would be very nice with a high-classy tournament against good teams that time of the year.

And to get a bit of topic...how come they are not even trying to get a nice supporteratmosphere in other sports in US? In the Football(from now on, Football is what you over there call "Soccer" ;) you guys are trying to build up a great supporterculture, but not in Hockey, American Football, Baseball, Basketball and so on... Why?

För övrigt så verkar snubbarna från Portland väldigt trevliga. För er som ska dra över, så hänvisar jag er till deras forum, där väldigt många tycks vara villiga att låna ut sovplatser o.s.v.

Har svårt att se en klack på tex en baseballmatch, är väl ingen som pallar sjunga i 3-4 timmar?
Tror att en anledning, utöver det som Enoch nämner, är att de andra sporterna (förutom hockey) har alldeles för mycket dödtid mellan de lite mer action-laddade delarna, det är ingen intensitet i baseball och i tex amerikansk fotboll är det intensivt i 4 sekunder för att sedan vara avblåst i 5 minuter.

**Ikaros Tass** · 2012-02-13, 19:59

Basket går ju bevisligen skapa tryck i(Se kring medelhavet...). Hockey likaså. Amerikansk fotboll går nog om man vill. Speciellt med tanke på hur många man är på plats. Det bygger väl inte på att sjunga under själva spelmomenten utan under hela matchen, oavbrutet för att stötta grabbarna på planen.

Baseball var kanske ett dåligt exempel.
Är det verkligen sant? är en Basball-match 3-4 timmar lång? Låter ju helt sjukt.

**Kalle_Ninja** · 2012-02-13, 20:23

Det är väldigt olika, 9 innings ska spelas (10 om lika) och hur lång tid de tar beror ju på hur bra lagen är. Om ett lag går riktigt bra kan man få sina outs väldigt fort eller på samma sätt åt andra hållet kan man klara sig utan outs väldigt länge. Med andra ord kan det gå fort men det kan även ta djävulskt lång tid.

I'm starting to get quite a few people offering up places to stay and even people offering to take AIK fans on a tour of the city on their day off. You have to understand that being a football fan in the United States sometimes feels like being in a secret society. When you find out that there are other people who love the sport as much as you do we get pretty excited.

A number of years ago we played a mid season friendly against Sunderland and both sets of supporters got along so well that a large group of Timbers fans went over to England the next year as guests of the Sunderland fans. One of the Sunderland fans liked Portland so much that he moved here and now runs his own ice cream business.

With this being preseason, the atmosphere probably won't be quite the same as it would be later in the year but since we've never had a preseason tournament like this before who knows.

This was a tweet made by our owner when the tournament was first announced.

AIK is a team we are looking to build a close relationship with which should benefit both organizations in several areas moving forward #RCTID

RCTID stands for Rose City 'Til I Die.

I'm not sure if anything will really come of it but I would love it if it actually happens.

**Smuts** · 2012-02-14, 06:52

Thank you guys for being so welcoming and kind. Unfortunately I won't be attending, but I hope that you'll meet some AIK-fans over there! Hopefully we can build a life long friendship together. Respect.

**J&I** · 2012-02-14, 07:51

uocooper: I am an AIK supporter in exile here in San Diego. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the trip up there but I was wondering if you know if any TV Channels broadcasted your preseason games last year?

- Would be cool with a team that we do not have to fight with or hate for a change :)))

- You've mentioned our comparison of Sounders to dif. Don't think you guys can imagine how much we laughed at the fat bloke playing capo -"Fight and win" :D

- Just out of curiosity: why is the guy on the last pic wearing a bandana covering his face, he's a hooligan or just watched to many italian games?

**Saerimner** · 2012-02-14, 08:16

Ett litet förslag till samtliga är att av artighetsskäl mot de som inte talar/läser/skriver svenska hålla sig till engelska i tråden.

I suggest we, out of courtisy to all non-swedish speaking/reading/writing readers, stick to english in this thread.
