Timbers vs San Jose Game Thread:

PrintNot sure what happened to the original game thread but in the absence of it use this to post comments.
San Jose has a serious threat at its disposal when they take the field tomorrow night. I am, of course, speaking about Chris Wondolowski, the Golden Boot winner for 2010. So far this year he's taking a similar path with 8 goals total. While that only puts him in fourth place in the league, he's not that far off from over taking league leaders Landon Donovan and Thierry Henry at 11 a piece. That would only take a hattrick, which he has gotten in the past.
Lets get this started!

Palmer in the middle
interesting

Does it look like Horst is slipping like crazy in there?

Love the trucker hat on the SJ keeper

I feel like I played in front of more people in High School
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
I think the biggest was
5k but it was a heck of a lot louder than the San Jose crowd
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
i really would have rather kept our backline as isand move al hassan into the line up and nagby in the middle
We have no real creative center mids in right now to connect anything
Yeah
We look out of sync in the midfield.
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
You can see the impact of no Chara
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
LOL
You can totally here the TA, of course they have mics right in front of them
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
The BigSoccer SJ game thread
says they hear the Timbers Army on their TV broadcast too. So it’s not just our feed with that sound
I think that must have been it
I was probably 100 feet from the SJ supporters and probably twice as far from the TA, but I barely heard the TA at all.
long live the jd.
Love that Chabala is talking to Marcelin
Looks like he is telling him to do more and faster
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Good save
Sigh looks like it might be that kind of night.
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Like the long shot
Draws out the defense
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
That shot came all from nagby's ability to control the ball with lots of defenders aroudn him in teh middle.
Thats why i would have rather saw him in there and al hassan on the wing and palmer back in D
There were 4 or 5 around him
It was amazing
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Hard to tell
Alhassan really hasn’t been making too much of a defensive contribution
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
He isn't a Playmaker
Only a ball winner.
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Me too
I think we need him to be more in the middle.
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
yeah just placed it
Rather than trying to pound it in like some players would do
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Yes
Looked like the D thought it was going to be Offside
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
they were so beaten they all just stood there and watched… including the keeper
by encephalopath on Aug 6, 2011 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions
yeah
looked like he couldn’t decide where to go and just sat down
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
That goal now plays into our formation
with two 2 d-mids
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Yeah
We need to control the ball not just Defend
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Terrible D by portland
Luckily the ball went out
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Does SJ have a stadium planned?
volatilelyle.com
by almost awesome on Aug 6, 2011 8:05 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Yes
Opening before next year or sometime during next season
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.

Seems like
you and I are going to have some frustrations with our central mids :)
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
I think we need a sub at half.
Hopefully Spencer sees that too
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
if we get to halftime like this i would say either marcalin comes out, or hall comes out and palmer goes back to D
Either way I think at halftime we will see al hassan in and a play maker put into center mid
Perkins reaction saves are amazing
So quick
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
We are playing a 4-5-1
Cooper is playing as a midfielder now
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Corales on the throw in
That was some pissy attitude
Cooper
Nice job to break that up
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Which means SJ is that bad
because they are down by 1
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Time to get in Corales' head
Get him sent off
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Yeah
tough to tell him to leave it :)
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Nice
That looked good, just couldn’t get it on frame. Great ball by Nagbe
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Well not a good half but....
Leading
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Phew,
Ugly, but the lead is nice.
Let’s hope they come out a bit more focused, Nagbe is showing flashes of what he can do in the middle. We can create through him.
Yes
Especially if we do one of two things:
1) switch him and Palmer
2) sub in Alhassan for Marcelin and move him into the mid
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
So we could do
Hall going wide for Nagbe and Palmer coming back to the D-line
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
LOL
reading the #RCTID I tweets and saw this:
whatever it is we chanted cookie monster, cookie monster, sing us a song" at it, but to no avail.
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Who is that supposed to appeal to?
It would scare me to death if I were a little kid.
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!
we will be very lucky to shut them out
if we play like that in the second half. hope we get things going.

Sorry!
About missing the Match Thread today. Been very busy and it just completely slipped my mind.
Great goal by Cooper/Perlaza by the way, although after that the Timbers just kind of gave up. We’re lucky it’;s not tied right now.

Nothing good going on for Portland right now

Dang it
So Perlaza is 1 for the century on break aways

I think Perlaza's feet are faster than his thought process

Love the wing play
Chabala and Nagbe combo is amazing

We did it against Chicago

The only thing I can think of is
Which players are good enough to be subbed in with Johnson, Jewsbury, Chara all unavailable.
Kalif, that is it
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
San Jose looks as if they have all the momentum right now...

That's awesome
How has the game been so far?
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!
Is Spencer pushing for the win?
Or just going for the draw?
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!
Well that's something
Hopefully these last few minutes will see a goal for the good guys.
Thanks for the answer
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!
Dunno
Rule of thumb is win at home and draw in the road……
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
But
We still play them at home
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
And close again

And what????
A red card?

Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Well, an interesting 8 minutes
Nice goal by Cooper. How’d he play today?
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!
As well as he could
without any service. He did have some great balls to Perlaza who should have scored on a break away
Contributing editor to Stumptown Footy the Portland Timbers SBN blog.
Hopefully this is a sign of him coming back into form
Though I’m hesitant to get my hopes up.
Seems like the team missed Chara and Jewsbury, which is hardly a surprise. Hopefully next week they Cap’n Jack can return. It’ll be nice to have Chara back, at least.
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!
Well at least it got interesting
I’ll take the point given how we played and missing our CMs.

For anyone who doubts Diego Chara
With his absence tonight, I think there was some good evidence as to what he brings to this team in the midfield.
by RoseColoredGlasses on Aug 6, 2011 10:24 PM PDT reply actions
Agree 100%
Chara means so much to this team
