Cup, Bound & Crowned a Great Book



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.
