Cascadian Support - From the Timbers Army and Their 107IST Spokesperson
Complexity causes a lot of issues in a sound-bite world. It is hard to relay, and it leads to easy confusion. It can lead to 100% support of a 150 Away Fan section and allowance for any other away fan to buy a seat where ever they want to be simplified down to "limiting" away support. It can also...
Cascadian Away Support - Facts and Solutions

Always Use Protection
I know what you're thinking. 'But sidereal, it's too soon. We're still crying in our delicious array of Northwestern microbrews about the Sounders starters looking like a JV team for the fourth time in a row against the Galaxy.' Well suck it up, camper, because the expansion draft is scheduled for...
Ginge's Anti-Power Rankings: Week 5

Previewing Portland - Underdog status isn't Fair
Yes, the Sounders are the MLS side. Yes, the Timbers are the Timbers. Sure, you could look at this one as a gift, even going on the road. You could take this match lightly, you would also be wrong. While Portland might be Seattle's little brother in so many ways, this match sees the side that is...
Sounders Only MLS Side Guaranteed to Not Host Third Round US Open Cup
After yesterday's First Round 2010 US Open Cup matches the potential hosts for Round Three have been revealed. It would seem that many teams have learned from DC United and are pursuing efforts to host as many matches as possible in this tourney. Since there is a bidding process in this tourney one...
You always knew you loved Alex Nimo, now you know why
Imagine my surprise when I went to yahoo and found this: Yes little ole, mild mannered Alex Nimo, says enough is enough as the Portland Timbers were facing some huge time wasting efforts by Crystal Palace earlier this week. Best clip of the week. If you watch to the end you will see that...
Real Salt Lake Roster down to 24
Yesterday Real Salt Lake waived Tino Nunez and sent Alex Nimo back to Portland on another year long loan, this dropped RSL down to a 24 man roster. I am hoping Tino gets picked up somewhere in MLS or USL, he has a great touch on the ball and I feel he suffered from a lack of a reserve division...
