Seattle beat Portland 1-0
Jake Gleeson (GK Coach | Saint Mary's College)
portland had so many shots off target, i think it was 16 shots and only 3 on target.
Busy game for Gleeson it seemed.

MLS really does look like a great comp to play in.
Big passionate crowds (I imagine lots of latino football fans with craziness they bring), in proper rectangular stadiums (this West Coast derby game had 40,000 fans) and in good weather being a summer league.
As always questionable American soccer terminology/commentary though.

Agree with you on that. I'm surprised with amount of fans who support there clubs the chants. I just crack up at the terminology by some american broadcasters
Portland v Dallas is live on Duke channel this Sunday at 2-35pm

Jake on at 13 mins onwards.
Love the "Would you rather be a soccer player or a goalkeeper?" :)
Another clean sheet today
Timbers lose 1-2 away. Agree with commentator that Gleeson at fault for the first Colorado goal.
Opposing keeper that Tourettes sufferer Tim Howard

Gleeson dropped to bench for Timbers latest game a 2-3 loss away to Minnesota.
Not making some impact it seems this season.
Gleeson back in goal, as Timbers suffer late heartbreak with a 2-2 draw verus Seattle Sounders.
Clint Dempsey scores for Seattle in 94th minute.

Like to go to a Timbers home game. Looks like fun times
Not much he could have done about the second. Let down by the defence. Just goal highlights, so hard to tell if he had much else to do in the game.

Chicago currently leading MLS overall.
fixed link.
Thanks for posting. MLS has moments that are light years ahead of A-league. The goals in the Kansas-Portland game were that!
Not a great night for Gleeson & Portland. A 1-4 loss at home to Real Salt Lake. Gleeson credited with an own goal for Salt Lake's 3rd.
https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/07/20/4-minute...
Game changed when 3 players sent off (2x Timbers & 1x Salt Lake) around 50-55 mins.
Note a few flares let off at game end! Home fans obviously not happy.
Next game verus Vancouver this weekend. Will there be 2 Kiwi keepers in the match day squads?
just watched highlights. Feel for Gleeson, the defence in front of him is some of the worst if seen, like a wooden spoon nix type defense.
Wow, that was comically awful defending. 2nd clip that Gleeson saved was like watching Old Christie and O'Dor from S1!
Couple of late saves to hold on to a 2-1 win away at the Whitecaps.
Full highlights here.

Unsurprisingly the recently signed Marinovic not in Vancouver's match day squad. Note that his now rival for starting keeper position at Whitecaps - David Ousted picked up a yellow card.
2-2 draw today, no Tuiloma in the match day squad.
This is the only save that was posted by their Twitter account
good save though!
good save though!
Bill is still waiting on his Visa - probably another week away
Bad attempted palm off/punch by Gleeson prior to first Houston goal.

Couple of class saves in a 3-1 win v the Galaxy this morning

Watched the highlights of this match during the week on the Duke channel which is on both Freeview and Sky (ch.13 Freeview, ch. 23 Sky). The Highlights show has English commentators familiar from EPL and Championship coverage like Clive Allen.
It's great having both live MLS games and a weekly highlights show on NZ television now that eight Kiwis are at MLS clubs (eight including those playing in reserve sides - Gleeson, Tuiloma, Boxall, Wynne, Marinovic, Colvey, de Vries, Bevan).
Three of the Kiwi contingent are former South Islanders (Tuiloma and de Vries ex-Christchurch and Colvey ex-Nelson and Marlborough)
MLS highlights show is on at 8.55 am and 11.55 am this Wednesday for last weekend's action and repeated later in the week.
Last weekend's live game DC Utd vs. Toronto is repeated 12 pm Tuesday.

Toronto FC v Portland Timbers is the live game on Duke this Sunday at 10-15am
Sweet!
Subbed off against TFC, sounds like he has done a hammy
The Portland Timbers will once again be dealing with significant injuries Saturday when they travel to face New York City FC.
Timbers captain Liam Ridgewell (quad injury), forward Fanendo Adi (hamstring injury) and goalkeeper Jake Gleeson (hamstring injury) have all been ruled out for the game, Timbers coach Caleb Porter said.
"It's looking like they won't be healthy," Porter said.
Gleeson has been back in training, but still needs to time to get back to full strength and sharpness, Porter said.
I'm pretty sure this game is being shown live on Duke channel this Sunday.
Returns from injury via the bench. Sounds like may struggle to get starting position back in a hurry
Timbers sign a new keeper, more competition for Gleeson ... https://t.co/3sLqkjLzAj
On the bench again today versus Orlando
Come to the Phoenix. Better than Keegan Smith!
Def lost his starting spot and fams prefer other guy by sounds. Lots of mls clubs would take him in a heartbeat though
Just bought a ticket for Timbers v DC United in a couple of weeks time, fingers crossed for an unexpected Gleeson/Tuiloma appearance.
On the bench again today
