Really, no
exaggeration when it comes to the conception of an excellent piece of literary
work, that puts in evidence the talent and all around passion from an intrepid
group of individuals.
That in every page of
this book called Cup Bound & Crowned; you see the seal of excellence from
each one of these virtuoso's of the pen and the camera.
Undoubtedly, the
creation of this unique masterpiece is something to celebrate and make a city
proud of the achievements from this awesome group and its humble homage to its
beloved Portland Timbers FC.
By celebrating, a
grand and historical feat of this Band of Brothers that put in evidence that
unity and faith that can move mountains, and dominate any challenge as hard it
can be- that at the end it can be overwhelmed.
Having in its opening
pages the foreword and wisdom of a grand man that has seen the Beautiful Game developed
in his city and very well seen it all, from the mid-seventies Portland Timbers
of that original NASL to its present day MLS squad.
It here were a legend
of Portland in the great and legendary Jim Timber Serrill, writes from his heart
and all of his accounts of a magnificent campaign that many are still in disbelief
but at the end the momentum is there!
A city with an insurmountable
spirit and support for this club that at the end it has earned the title very
proudly of Soccer City USA, not only for being the best fans in all of Major League
Soccer, as well in the good old USA if
not the world!
A grand volume that
honors that spirit from this sunshine in the stands not only its North section but
also the whole of Providence Park that in every match rain or shine, they show
off their passion for their all Mighty PTFC.
With great wording
and description of events that led our beloved Timbers to the impossible and Promised
Land, Cup, Bound and Crowned really pays its homage to the city that never gave
up and let go of their faith in the Boys in Green.
This is what those
people from PROSTAMERIKA, bring us in every page of this book, a true work of
art in every illustration and posts that shows off a one of a kind class and
chivalry.
Intrepid and enterprising
visionaries are the ideal words to describe these individuals’ talent and true homage
they pay in this volume and in every page to many of these heroes not only in the
field but in the stands as well.
I mean this book with
its collection of pristine and meticulous picked pictures in every page, so
real that they stand out narrating their story in every one of them; wow is the
word to describe the outstanding photographic work.
That many can state
are worthy of a grand prize or better a Pulitzer in my own words.
One volume to have as
a lengthy keepsake that one day the generations ahead of us will enjoy and
admire with such reaction and see back how our generation enjoyed the grand run
of a team that no one gave them a fighting chance.
The way history written
and created by this group of top rated professionals that really shows off their
talents page per page and in every chapter- at the end of this book- is a must have in your personal library.
