Clark County youth soccer will benefit from a viewing party for today’s Portland Timbers match against FC Dallas.
The event at Dublin Down Irish Pub, 813 Main St. in downtown Vancouver is being organized by a members of the Timbers Army supporters group who live in Clark County.
The Timbers match at Dallas starts at 5:30 p.m. The USA vs. Mexico Gold Cup final kicks off at 6 p.m., and will be shown on some TVs, according to Dublin Down owner Brandon Smith.
Kelly Dews, who recently began organizing a Clark County branch of the Timbers Army through word of mouth and Facebook, said informal membership in the group called the Northern Alliance grew from 10 to 72 in a three-week period. Today’s viewing party is the group’s first event — and likely the first time many of them will be meeting each other.
