Timbers are lulling.
I really like RSL. They've built really well considering all the talent they shipped out. It's impressive.

They're a classy organization. Kreis is awesome.

I definitely thought Morales was done and he obviously is not.

the second Bosnia goal scored today was by a local STL kid, Vedad Ibisevic. Roosevelt HS and a year or two at SLU.

Altidore is on fire, no?

He's playing like he's one of the best strikers in the world, and if he keeps it going at Sunderland, I'm going to have to recalibrate my expectation levels from "really good" to DROGBA.

Also, Michael Bradley is just a [expletive] unbelievably good soccer player. His decision making is flawless.

You read the long MB story on Deadspin on his play at Roma?

Si, certo!
This is the breakdown of his game today. 92/100 passing is actually low for him because he was playing more high risk/high reward passes like the brilliant long lob that led to the first goal. He's just so subtly brilliant. Always two steps ahead.




Espn 2 is replaying the game in 30 min if anyone missed it and wants to check it out.

The corpse of Shalrie Joseph is getting worked in Seattle. If Portland could finish, it could easily be 3-0 rather than scoreless.

Thoughts: Seattle too narrow. Valeri is a baller. Neagle is really fast and Nagbe makes him look like he's running in sand.

Rian Johnson is garbage.

We need an ace striker on top of those guys. Maybe it will be Valencia but we need a bridge. I'm satisfied with the performance. On short rest/preparation with only our (banged up) 4th choice cm available. We were bound to let down in the second half. Shame we didn't find the net before then.
This team has testicles and heart (I suppose rsl could argue that) . And that Jamaican rb we got is going to be special.
