The Timbers would have to have a total breakdown to NOT win the Cup. Basically, they'd have to not WIN anymore games the rest of the year and they've been playing too well and they have an easy rest of schedule. Timbers take it all this year!

HBK FC- that's wrong. The Timbers could win two more and still not take the cup.

Stop voting for Cronin as MVP people. Check the stats. Keita is the runaway team MVP.

Thanks for commenting HBK, we appreciate it, but Dan is right. This is a closer race than you might think. The Timbers need to focus and make sure they finish the season strong. If Carolina or Charleston somehow win out, then anything can happen.

And Jobin – soccer isn't just about scoring goals, Keita gets all the glory, but players like Cronin, Hayes, and Mcmanus are equally crucial to our success. Their contributions are simply less glamorous and often go unseen.

As amazing as the streak is, you have to keep in mind that there were 10 ties during those games. It's not like the Timbers are a lock to win out.

It's not just about goals, it's also about assists. Assists and goals win games. Keita = MVP.
QED.

That's nice Joban, celebrating democracy, eh? Keita scores the goals, but thats the job he was brought here to do. And he's succeeding at his job, but there's still 5 games left.

I don't like your passive aggressive misspelling of my name. You should stick to writing articles and not commenting.

I like turtles too. And I voted for Keita twice also. How can you not? He's leading the USL in scoring and assists!

Nice work HBK. Glad to see someone else who "gets it". Looks like another douche voted for Cronin today.

What would Keita have to do to get your guys MVP vote? Score 2000 goals and singlehandedly take the Timbers into the EPL? I wonder if it's because he's Guinean?

Jobin – what are you Keita's mother or something? I agree that Keita is one of the leading MVP canidates of this team, but I think that when you've gone 23 matches unbeaten that there is plenty of worthy praise to go around. But maybe more credit should go to guys like Mcmanus or Hayes, some of the unsung heroes of this team.
Oh, and i also like turtles. Especially ol' married turtle couples, like the Slowskys from those Comcast commercials.
