Portland Timbers Vs. Seattle Sounders, Reserves: GameThread - Sounder 2-nil Final

by Jeremiah Oshan on May 30, 2011 1:46 PM PDT in Sounders: Academy, U23 PDL and Reserves

Coming off a huge win and today being Memorial Day, you can be excused if you didn't realize the Seattle Sounders were playing the Portland Timbers. Of course, it's only the reserves, but if you've got nothing better to do, you can listen to the game here.

Looks like a few familiar names are in the game for the Sounders, including Fredy Montero. Other players of note are Roger Levesque starting at full back and Miguel Montano and Michael Tetteh in the midfield. There are also three Sounders academy players on their bench.

The Timbers' most notable starter is probably Eddie Johnson, who has not yet made an appearance for the senior team after leading USSF D-2 in scoring last year.

Timbers starters: GK-Brown; D-Braun, D-R. Smith, D-Horst (C), D-Taylor; M-Pore, M-Marcelin, M-Moffat, M-Lopez; F-Johnson, F-Umony. Subs: F-Sp. Thompson, D-J. Gonzalez, M-Ogunyemi

Sounders starters: GK-Boss; D-Levesque, D-Scott, D-Graham, D-Gonzalez, M-Montano, M-Carrasco, M-Seamon, M-Tetteh, M-Noonan, F-Montero. Subs: GK-Meredith, F-Okoli, M-Estrada, F-Yedlin, F-Kovar

Final Boxscore after the break

The next Sounders FC Reserve League match is June 7 versus Vancouver. First kick is 7 p.m. PT at Starfire Sports Stadium. Admission is free with donations accepted for the Sounders FC community partners.

Congratulations to

Okoli, Yedlin, and Kovar. Making the 18 (uh, 16 I guess) says good things about these 3

Great, Montero apparently hurt

Took a hard fall. Hopefully nothing too bad.

So odd to see Montero in the reserve game

by Dizzo on May 30, 2011 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions

he

will be subbed out at some point . I probably would guess Okoli would come in for him.

No Ford?

3rd goalkeeper lacking some glamor.

that's a good point

kinda weird that Meredith is there instead.

Sounders seem to have better of play so far

Three corners, the last of which was nearly a goal from Zach Scott off delivery from Miguel Montano

I get the feeling the defense...

…is a bit susceptible to quick, direct play.

although interpreting events by the emotion in a...

…biased announcer’s voice is an inexact science.

Levesque seems to be joining attack quite a bit

good grief ref.

by gstommylee on May 30, 2011 2:21 PM PDT reply actions

Wow, sounds like ref losing control

Questionable challenge by sounders followed by a two-handed shove by timbers and not so much as a foul called.

Like hearing the ECS

Love hearing the Seattle supports that showed on the Portland Radio broadcast

by TheDarkPassenger on May 30, 2011 2:24 PM PDT reply actions

Timbers twitter said several dozen Seattle supporters in stands

which would be several dozen more than Portland Reserves had here.

Would love to see Roger score

Would be fun to see it happen and even more reason for Portland fans get upset at him. =)

Noonan with a open shot and miss. =(

reserve games are just such a wonder opportunity...

to see what Pat Noonan has to offer this team ;)

Strong says five chances so far

That’s got to be either 3-2 or 4-1 Sounders favor

Weird day

Whitecaps, and Chicago coaches are let go. Koke(sp?) is no longer with the club in Huston.

by TheDarkPassenger on May 30, 2011 3:02 PM PDT reply actions

well

they did say things happen in 3.

by gstommylee on May 30, 2011 3:04 PM PDT up reply actions

So who's the third?

Never mind...

I just realized you were referring to Koke not another coach. Doh!

de Los Cobos, apparently.

3rd?

Well I was expectingToronto’s coach to be let go.

by TheDarkPassenger on May 30, 2011 3:10 PM PDT reply actions

I was talking about Koke

that was the first thing happened today followed by whitecaps firing their coach and 3rd was Chicago firing their coach.

by gstommylee on May 30, 2011 3:12 PM PDT up reply actions

I really hope

This doesn’t happen. Winter may not be the new Mourinho, but the last thing TFC needs is stability and the reality is that their problems are as much down to an inadequate squad as to the coach’s ability.

by Targaff on May 30, 2011 5:08 PM PDT up reply actions

I really doubt it will

Mark my words, barring total meltdown Winter at least gets one offseason to try to turn it around.

6-2 loss to the Union is pretty close to total meltdown

No coach can survive too many of those.

True

But the wheels really came off the TFC bus that game. They looked horrid. I think we’ll see at least one more complete blow-out of TFC before Winter is able to get to the off-season. There’s not much a coach can do when the team completely gives up like that.
