1st place in the West. Boom! (Yes I know it's 20 min left. Don't care. 4-0 up!)

RCTID. Here's to a playoff run to the Cup!

Love watching Valeri play. As well as Nagbe.

I heard that Nagbe is trying to get his US citizenship. Any chance he'd be a guy that the National Team might look at someday?

Where you will promptly lose against a team that can actually finish. Portscum is lucky to be up a goal with the way they played Saturday. LA will destroy them, if Seattle doesn't do it first.

I like that you had to insult your own team to try and make the Timbers look worse.

Also, Portland is 2-0-1 against LA this year. I'm more worried about RSL if they can get past the Galaxy.

Thanks Smurf. Know that's gotta be tough for you to say.

Hopefully the Timbers can keep it going.

Imagine you said good game to a Steelers fan after XL....


Same sort of pain....just legitimate.


Humble in victory, Gracious in defeat.

Convincing win against the archrivals.

Onto the grudge match against RSL.


I am not sure that you know what a convincing win is.


5-3 on aggrevate, and a 3-2 win at home after being up 3-0. That wasnt convincing?

anyways, Sounders back line was all over the place last night. the Timbers were fantastic at taking advantage of it, not just on the goals but the constant ability to flip the field. Their high pressing defense made it very difficult for the Sounders to generate consistent possession, and they were smart enough to back off entirely when Seattle managed to break it. Very good set up by Caleb Porter.

Until the 3rd goal I thought Seattle still had a chance, but I think this one comes down to Seattle's failure to finish their chances in the first tie.

Thanks Smurf. Wholeheartedly agree on RSL. As I said in the Sounders thread, they worry me the most, but I have great respect for them. Should be an excellent series.

Sorry. I meant dominating win against an archrival with a 2 minute lapse.
