Portland win 2-1.

Tuiloma stays on the bench. His often CB partner and fellow Francophile Mabiala, with first goal for Timbers. Fairly new club CB Župarić (who for the moment has overtaken the Kiwi) with the 2nd goal.

Promising signs anyway for regular season for Portland. Hopefully Billy T, can crack back into the starting lineup somewhere.

FYI - Pedro Gallese who was keeper for Peru during intercontinental playoffs against AWs in 2017, is now the Orlando keeper.

So even without Reid, that's 3 Kiwi CBs starting in today in the MLS.

No "Little Pea" Hernandez for Galaxy. Think he is injured.

Another Mexican, 18 year old Efrain Alvarez puts LA up 1-0. Jonathan dos Santos on the bench.

See Mexico are scheduled to play a friendly against Netherlands, 7th October. AWs to follow after somewhere in Europe?

Result a 2-1 Timbers win. 2nd goal late at 83 mins, so Billy T introduced to help preserve that no doubt. 

Portland go up to 4th in Western Conference. Though they will be overtaken by winner (unless is a draw) of Galaxy and LAFC who are playing now.

Maybe. But from MLS match highlights this season, he’s actually been a bit poor. Plenty of mistakes. Still A League is a lower level.

See he's getting $100k US at Portland, which is about $150k NZ. You'd definitely have him for that type of money especially now that Taylor's gone.

Haven’t looked up his salary but Musa would be a lot lower then that, so we may as well get him as well to replace devere 

He can also provide cover to central mid (where I know he has been playing) to replace steinman 

Think the key with this Covid mess is getting kiwis back who can do a job

Interesting. A TAHW and Tuiloma backline would be solid and set us up for years to come. When does his contract expire?

Adding Elliot on the right and possibly McGarry on the left, with Marinovic in goal - an all kiwi defence would be good to see and very doable.

Last week Timbers lost Sebastian Blanco to a season ending cruciate knee injury. Huge loss for them, and really hard to see them winning MLS title without him.

Wash my mouth out, but Davila would be a handy replacement. No family unfriendly hub going on in the MLS now.

Looks like Tuiloma coped a kick to the head or ball at force to the head. Anyway good to see him back starting

Actually Timbers missing playoffs, would be a good thing for the AWs, if there is anyway at all he can be brought over from the US, for these scheduled Euro friendlies. I see NZF have not yet confirmed Belgium game is off.

Not in match day squad, as Timbers beat Seattle (1st in the West) 1-0 in their derby game.

3rd time they played each other in last 8 games. Out of the FFA playbook, though to be fair I think Covid is restricting long distance travel within the US, making playing local the easier option.

Portland up to 2nd, only separated from Seattle on GD - though Sounders do have one game in hand.

4th MLS game against Sounders in the last 2 months!! Over kill of the Pacific North West derby.

In that same time they haven't played one team from the Eastern Conference. Haven't played Reid's SKC once all season from what I can see.

Obviously some Covid related travel restrictions around the various US states, but doesn't lead to a very fair and equitable draw at all.
