Portland hits the road this Saturday to play a return match against the Minnesota Stars as both teams jockey for playoff positioning with the playoffs fast approaching. Timbers (8-7-7, 31pts) are currently tied for 4th place in the USSF overall standings with 8 games remaining in the regular season. Minnesota (who played the Timbers to a 2-2 draw in their last meeting at PGE Park) trails Portland by only 3pts and in fact, there’s only 4pts separating the 4th place and 8th place clubs. Every game counts the rest of the way and will have important ramifications as the teams head towards the playoffs.

The Timber’s defense should see a boost with the return of team captain Ian Joy, who was forced to sit out their last … Read the rest

After a series of disappointing efforts, the Portland Timbers (7-7-7, 28 pts) will have no choice but to regroup on the road as they head to Anheuser-Busch Park to take on AC St. Louis, then travel up north for a return match with the Minnesota Stars the following Saturday. Portland had to settle for a draw this past Wednesday at PGE Park in a physical game against the Stars, a match that in many ways has typified the Timber’s season – controlling most of the match and outshooting opponents, but a costly mental breakdown or mistake ultimately proves to be the determining factor on the game’s outcome. After putting together a 5 match unbeaten streak, the team’s best stretch of the season, Portland is now winless in … Read the rest

This is our second and last regular season match with Tampa Bay. Our first battle with the Rowdies was June 27th, when Dike scored the only goal of the game. That was game 2 of the recent 5 game unbeaten streak, which St. Louis just snapped. The St. Louis match is done and hopefully was just a hiccup that we can avenge when we return to STL on August 14th. Now back to the current road trip, getting 3 points in Tampa Bay will not be easy. Tampa has a 3-2-3 record at home and this is their fourth consecutive match at home.

Tampa Bay is led by the two Aarons, King and Wheeler. We missed Wheeler the first time around due to yellow card accumulation. King, a … Read the rest

Portland Timbers

The Timbers travel to St. Louis for the first time this Wednesday. It is our third match with AC St. Louis, as we won the first meeting 3-nil back in April and then tied them 1-1 in May. AC has been struggling on several fronts with financial trouble that put the team’s future in doubt and poor play that has resulted in a 4-10-4 record.

The Timbers are red hot at moment fresh from a huge win in Vancouver and on a 5 game unbeaten streak. St. Louis won on Saturday, in a 1-nil match at home against Crystal Palace Baltimore. Earlier this month AC, destroyed the Impact in a 3 nil victory at home, but Montreal reversed that score just 11 days later when St. Louis went … Read the rest

The biggest rivalry in American soccer will continue Wednesday evening at PGE Park as the USSF Division-2 Portland Timbers will play host to Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders in the 3rd round of the U.S. Open Cup tournament. An annual competition essentially open to all levels of American soccer, throughout the season thirty-two teams will qualify and partake in the single elimination tournament in order to crown U.S. soccer’s official national champion. In the last month, Portland has defeated Kitsap and Sonoma County (both teams from lower divisions of professional soccer), to reach the 3rd round and earn a shot against Seattle, who is one of 8 MLS teams in tournament.

“It’s recognized Worldwide.” Said Coach Gavin Wilkinson, “The U.S. Open Cup is a chance for amateur … Read the rest

The Timbers return to league action, hosting the Tampa bay Rowdies for the first time since 1982, in which we won 5 nil. The Rowdies have had a successful inaugural season thus far, sitting in 5th place in total points. The Timbers are coming off their first two win streak since the beginning of the season, the last two wins we have scored 6 goals and only allowed one to be scored against us.

Where the Timbers had a rough May, the Rowdies went undefeated. June has not been so kind to the Rowdies, they have lost their last three league games and lost this past week in US Open Cup play against Miami FC. They started out June with a trip to Vancouver … Read the rest

The Portland Timbers are in Bremerton to take on Kitsap.  Back in April the Timbers lost to the Pumas 3-2 in a pre-season matchup, but this time there is more on the line, with the winner taking on the Sounders in the next round of the cup.

Here is the complete bracket for rounds 2 through the final:
