Timbers Army sounds good.
Nice to see Jay DeMerit on D for the Whitecaps, welcome back!
What stadium is this?
Vancouver does not look good.
Starfire in Tukwila, about 20-25 min south of Seattle.
Starfire sports complex in tukwila, WA. It’s where the sounders play when they can’t sell out Qwest
no. its where the sounders train and play open cup matches.
most fans want qwest for all games including this one.
Ryan Pore looks like he wants the left mid spot…playing MUCH better than Jeremy Hall last night.
And this is the Timbers 2nd XI…uh-oh
Just tuned in. Who scored the first goal?
Nevermind, just saw it on the website!
No doubt. Is he Vancouver’s captain? According to Wikipedia yes, but I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
well, 20-25 minutes south of *downtown* seattle. Only a few minutes from the city limits.
Can anybody help out with a game update?
I’m without real Internet tonight
Much appreciated!
You’re right, but splittin’ hairs huh?
Yes, he’s the skipper, they’ve announced it a few times in this match also.
Joe Cannon had an absolute Jedi save against a screamer by Lopez at the end of the match. He was clearly using the force.
Not hard to do. *I* can play MUCH better than Jeremy Hall last night.
Boring match. Timbers second XI looked flat at times, but overall not terrible for a second team. I’m trying to think of some bright spots for Portland… Marcellin, who looked very comfortable at mid and Pore. But Pore was quiet after the first goal. Despite the own goal, Horst had some nice clears… big physical guy who isn’t afraid to mix it up.
Criticism… I forgot that Johnson and Umony were on the field. Braun struggled at right back… poor first touches, indecisive with the ball. He has some work to do. If Gilbert doesn’t get in soon, the Timbers will be thin at right back. Brown did fine in goal, he wasn’t really tested too much… but I’m worried about his durability.
Vancouver? If that is their starting XI, it could be a long year for them.
Final 1-1. You didn’t miss much.
Where were the Southsiders today? There couldn’t have been fifty Vancouver fans in the stadium.
The main suoporter’s group were delayed at the border. That might have impacted attendance.
Gaining entrance to Fortress U.S.A. isn’t as easy as it used to be.
