PrintWell, it's official, the Portland Timbers are now on a losing streak. The longest they've had yet this season, in fact. While Saturday's game was a better, stronger, and more coordinated effort than games prior it simply wasn't enough to keep the team from losing it's third straight game in a row. What's worse is that Seattle didn't lose against Vancouver as they were trailing at the half time against our other rivals Vancouver. While ordinarily a tie between the two benefits the Timbers best, given Vancouver's shape I was hoping they'd pull off a rare victory against our much stronger rivals.
Anyway, time to move on. Enjoy your morning news!

From where I sit I couldn't see what happened to Cooper's head, just blood
I didn’t realize he hit Jeremy Hall. That sucks.
That Vancouver equalizer was ridiculously awesome, and not just because it was against Seattle. That’s probably one of my favorite goals of 2011.
I was at qwest and
Thought the same thing of the goal. Ridiculously awesome. Immediate we all said that was easily goal of the week if not season right there. I hated that it equalized the game but if my team has to have shots go in against them I would rather they be of that caliber than some stupid lapse in defense.
Scoreboards, not billboards.
Regular season, not pre-season.
Is it wrong that the first thing I thought after seeing that goal was
“there’s no way that goal came from an MLS player”?
Yes
Technically wrong. But we have seen quite a few of them. If it helps you, you can classify him as a MLS DP player which in theory should be doing those type of things more often!

Special Invite for John Spencer?
Since he won’t be sitting on the bench and will be looking for a seat maybe we can invite him to stand with the Army?
This line from the Spencer article really irritated me
The league has grown weary of hearing criticism of its officials this season and there’s little doubt that Spencer will likely be fined.
Hey MLS – if you’re tired of hearing criticism of the officials, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
