I've seen Klazura play quite a bit. I like what I've seen, but while I think he may have the tools necessary for MLS, I would not at all be surprised to see him struggle with the speed of a full MLS game/season. Not the best comparison, b…

Glad to see Davidson getting some love in the 321 thread. Had a very good game, including 8 interceptions. That's pretty remarkable.

He's Honduran? Sign him up! Insert Brazilian and it rings fairly true in most of the world.

I forgot that the TA would be there, and didn't notice them until a friend asked in the 30th minute if there were any Timbers fans there.

I think it's a wonderful and heartfelt homage to Sir Alex Ferguson, a day or two after he announced his retirement. Managers at massive teams complaining that they are hard done by? Classic Ferguson. Classic.

Seattle have the potential to fall back apart. Portland seem to be on far steadier ground. Any team that can perform like that on the road is going to be okay.
