Some of the brightest stars in American soccer met their match in terms of fandom last night, as the U.S. Men's National Team cruised to a 6-1 victory over Belize in the first round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

The match was a rout (Chris Wondowlowski scored three goals in the first half to pace the Americans) but Portland footy fans certainly didn't disappoint. The USMNT's official supporters group—the American Outlaws—teamed with Timbers Army to create a tifo display that incorporated the ol' stars and stripes, an inspiring message (Community Club Country—Everyone has something to stand for) and even an Uncle Sam-inspired figure dressed in Cascadia garb.

Pretty cool. Just ask U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann: He called the crowd "fantastic" and said the match was "a wonderful experience," adding: "The players were all curious how it [would] be, and [the atmosphere] lived up to their expectations."
