Cup matches typically get low attendances - the Flounders controversially have played cup matches at their training ground instead of at Seahawks Stadium. Portland played their last match at a college ground, but Jeld-Wen Field was still unavailable then.

I think we're heading towards a penalty shoot out..

Ugh, crap, it's over, San Jose goal.. :(

Damn, so close...

Timbers vs Philadelphia union at 2.30 if anyone is interested, can post some streams for ya.

Timbers easy.

good call there CboZ, Portland won 1-0.  taking their wins at home in a row to 4.   Loving their new plane! Oceanic62011-05-07 18:09:48

Good win, Timbers had many missed chances, but the ground was rather wet and looked problematic for players.

oh no, Chivas down to 9 men. Maybe no surprises but Boyens got 2 yellow cards so hes out and another player got a straight red. Elliott is on the park.

there's a game live on espn today at 3pm Galaxy v red bulls i think.

amazingly Chivas lost 1 nil, they did pretty well with 9 men to survive 87 minutes until RSL scored the winning goal.

Next up my beloved TFC take on Houston at home, later Chicago Fire at home playing Vancouver.

Whos gonna be watching Galaxy vs Red Bulls? Should be an awesome match.

Red bulls are 1st in east conference, Galaxy 2nd in west conference.Azevo2011-05-08 14:59:41

NY red bulls kit makes me want to puke. Absolutely horrible..

Henry just got an impressive goal, awkward but decent... 4 mins in.. heh.

Gee until I saw the line ups for this game I didn't quite understand the standard of the MLS. If the A-League could reach this standard in the next 5-6 years then we certainly couldnt complain. Heaps of familiar names across the two teams. Teemu Tainio, Landon Donavan, Beckham, Henry, Juan Pablo Angel, Rafa Marquez ....

Definitely a wroth while league to watch I have always found. Good stuff going on there..

How on earth did Donavon not put the ball into the empty net? Should be 2-1!

come on now....

6.5 mill on Beckham, 1.5 Mil on Donovan and Angel...and the rest around them are fairly cack.

you could actually see Donovan and Beckham playing the game trying to avoid passing to other players who had donkey first touches and turned the ball over time and again...

These are the two big spenders. The quality much like the a-league is inconsistent across a team...

Biggest match in MLS history this Sunday, as the Timbers head up to Seattle to out-sing the Flounders fans.

Gonna be EPIC - although the return leg will surely be better Rose City 'Til I Die!

you forgot Dan Keat

No surprises that Cooper and Perkins are on the highest salaries at the Timbers.Azevo2011-05-18 10:24:51

What about Phili on the road to Toronto and winning 6-1 haha, Crew were hopeless as usual.

6-2. And it serves those fuckers right after what they pulled against the Whitecaps.

Ah I just knew Phili got 6 haha thought I read 6-1, what'd they do vs your precious Whitespoons?

Made them look like little school girls. :P

Toronto made another team look like schoolgirls that is embarrassing.

Hardly. Let's see the entire history between Toronto and Vancouver in the MLS era:

1. Vancouver d. Toronto 4-2 @ Vancouver (MLS)
2. 0-0 draw @ Vancouver (Voyageurs Cup)
3. Vancouver leads 1-0 until late in the game when the match is called off due to unforeseen weather conditions under which Toronto failed to control the controllables, knowing full well they could force a match abandonment and subsequent replay should the match appear to result in Vancouver's favour. Allegedly.

I had heard the game was postponed.

Sporting Kansas' new stadium is rather nice, saw a picture of the locker room, wouldn't be surprised if someone fakes an injury just to go and chill out in there, farkin flash.

What about that crew game yesterday ;)

very well done them, am yet to watch the highlights on the site, Sporting Kansas vs the Fire was interesting I hear, had 8 mins stoppage time because of someone dressed as a cow invading the pitch and apparently a massive brawl between a player and a linesmen or something a rather.

that game was on espn last night, I watched a bit of it. Am annoyed i missed the cow invasion!

That was the most exciting part of the game apparently, am just watching highlights now. Man the A-league need a site like the one MLS has.. So damn good.

Goal. Of. The. Season.
