It is reported today that the Seattle Sounders are practicing this afternoon at 2pm down at PGE Park. Give them hell.
Tomorrow, the epic journey of the Portland Timbers-Seattle Sounders rivalry continues. Like 2009, they will meet again in the United States Open Cup. Seattle edged Portland 2-1 in the nationally watched match that included a sellout crowd, and a stellar atmosphere.
The teams met again this past March. This time in the Community Sheild match that was arguably the largest preseason crowd for two U.S. domestic clubs.
And now, the two rivals will square off in the United States Open Cup 2010.
This is a match you will NOT want to miss.
Seattle Sounders @ Portland Timbers – June 30th, Wednesday at 7:30pm, PGE Park

With a big game in two days, the Portland Timbers didn’t get caught overlooking their opponent Sunday.
The Timbers put Wednesday’s game against the arch-rival Seattle Sounders on the back burner and remained focused on the FC Tampa Bay Rowdies long enough to win 1-0 in front of 8,892 at PGE Park.
The Timbers (5-5-4, 19 points) face Major League Soccer’s Sounders in a U.S. Open Cup game Wednesday. But the Timbers wanted to win an important league game against the Rowdies and maintain the momentum from winning two consecutive games. Continue Reading »

PORTLAND, Ore. – Midfielder Rodrigo Lopez provided a key assist and then scored the game-winning goal as the Portland Timbers defeated Argentina side Boca Juniors 3-2 in an international exhibition match Saturday at PGE Park before 14,106.
Down by a goal, Lopez made an immediate impact upon entering the match as a sub in the second half. He assisted the Timbers’ equalizing goal by defender Stephen Keel in the 74th minute, which leveled the score at 2-2. On a free kick in second-half stoppage time, Lopez then found the go-ahead goal to lift the Timbers to victory. Continue Reading »

PORTLAND, Ore. – A first-half goal by midfielder Tony Donatelli led the defending-champion Montreal Impact to a 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers before 6,573 at PGE Park on Wednesday. Portland was dealt its second loss in the last three games.
The Timbers conceded another first-half goal that would prove to be the game-winner for the visiting side. Donatelli struck in the 31st minute and the Impact (3-1-2, 11pts) endured 17 shots by the Timbers to pull out the road win and improve its unbeaten streak to five games. Continue Reading »

After a weekend of two disappointing home games, the Timbers prepare for the Montreal Impact on Wednesday at PGE Park. The Thursday loss to Baltimore, and the last-minute equalizing goal for St. Louis, sent the Timbers faithful home frustrated. Being early in the season, the Timbers can afford such home results, however as the season progresses, our boys cannot allow such giveaways. Let’s see how Gavin and the rest of the crew respond on Wednesday to an always tough Montreal side.

The Portland Timbers sustained a 1-nil lead throughout the second portion of the second half after Keita’s goal. It looked as though the Timbers would take home three points, and leave St. Louis with another point-less trip to the Rose City. However in stoppage time, St. Louis would equalize after a lucky bounce, and the opposition defender, Mike Ambersley, would find the Portland net.
Portland would outshoot St. Louis 14 to 3 in the contest, as once again the Timbers would Continue Reading »

I remember when Portland scored six against Atlanta in 2005, but the Silverbacks could only get one back.
However, to actually have the score read 6:6 after fulltime, bizarre.
In the SPL Wednesday night, down 6-2, Motherwall comes back and scores four straight goals. An absolute amazing game, not just of the high tally, but being down that many in the second half — and coming away with a draw. Wonder if our Portland Timbers will see any games like that this year

Timbers owner Merritt Paulson challenges the Timbers’ Facebook community to recruit friends, family and coworkers to join the club’s Facebook page. We need your help to increase fan support as we move to MLS next year. If we reach 15,418 fans (the same number of fans that attended the sell-out on opening night) by the Timbers match vs. Vancouver on July 3, Merritt will accompany Timber Joey during the match and assist him in some of his game-day duties. Specifically, Merritt will chainsaw at least one wood slice if the Timbers score, he will present the log slice(s) to the team after the match and he will lead at least one chant, all while dressed like Timber Joey! We can meet this challenge if Timbers Facebook fans recruit just one member each (although more are encouraged). Let’s show the league and MLS which team has the best fans in soccer!

The Timbers drew the Impact on Sunday 1 to 1, as a late PK would seal the draw for Montreal.
Ryan Pore scored halfway through the 2nd half, as the game became rather chippy. A ticky tack call would send the home team to the spot, and the game became equalized late.

We all love our Blazers. But it would suck, if both the Timbers home opener, and the Blazers game 1 appeared on the same calendar date. Suck.

Great news for both fan bases. Timbers focus: Saturday. Blazers focus: Sunday.

Tomorrow night, JC is hosting a birthday party for his girlfriend at the Duncan Lane pad in Beaverton. Many folks will be there, as it will be a good time all around. There will be a beer tasting competition planned, as it’s $10 to enter. All proceeds go toward leukemia research. This is a great cause, and should be a ton of fun. Look forward to seeing you all there!

I always enjoy history of the Pacific Northwest. Interesting tidbit I found on what coulda-shoulda-whoulda been the State of Lincoln. The sad part is, even if it did happen, I would hardly know the difference. That is just how out of touch I think we are from our “east” side.
As you can tell, not much news in the soccer world or Portland today

Well slowly but surely, the MLS website is not sucking complete balls. It was only about 2 weeks ago we saw the new layout — decently impressive, however working with IT in the past, one knows how something looks is complete independent about how something works. As expected, kinks and bugs were reported, and several features of the website failed to work. Fans of course showed signs of outrage over this change, and before MLS could catch a breath after recently agreeing to a new CBA, they had to now fix a league website that was a total piece of crap. As Seattle and Philadelphia kicked off in First Kick 2010 Continue Reading »

Do companies do this because they actually feel it’s a smart marketing ploy, and they want us to laugh along with them? Or do they do it for our amusement alone, as we laugh hysterically at them when passing by? Maybe both, but I doubt it. Maybe I can figure this one out…
We’ve all seen them, even waved or pointed, but either way it grabs your attention. I am talking about the sidewalk advertisers you see at busy corners throughout town. Yes they’ve been around for a few years now, but it only seems to be getting worse. The ones that stick out in my mind the most are Continue Reading »

Sure we’re known as Soccer City USA. But does the rest of MLS truly know that yet?
The MLS Cup was held in Seattle last year, and will be held in Toronto this year. Coincidence? You tell me, but I think so. It’s evident MLS is “pimping” its latest products of quality to improve the image of the league. Understandable, and a no brainer, it falls in line with any basic business strategy. Toronto started out 2008 with a bang: incredible fans, and unbelievable passion. No one had seen such a sight in this part of the world. Also, because of its rarity, no one was really sure how long it was going to last. It’s the ole business basics 101 question, how long does the shoe shine? Continue Reading »
