Finn Surman scored a goal in the World Cup! Is he the first Timber to score a World Cup goal? No, yes. It depends. I believe he is the first Timber to score a gaol while on the roster. Rob Rensenbrink scored four in 1978 and Takayuki Suzuki scored one in 2002, but both had yet to join the Timbers when they scored their goals. Let it soak in. Finn Surman scored a World Cup goal.
As the corner was about to happen, I called out to my son in the other room and said jokingly “Get in here, or you’ll miss Finn Surman scoring a goal against Egypt.”
