The Trib jumps on the Portland Timbers are a diverse team bandwagon today, but also notes that even with an increased number of players born outside the United States the Timbers aren’t quite as international as either Montreal or Rochester. As if that really matters. The online newspaper also mentions that the exhibition [...]

Save the Date
The word on the street (the pot-holed, dead-end, message board variety) is that the Portland Timbers will face the Mexican club Monarcas Morelia on July 3 at PGE Park.

That wouldn’t have been my headline, but since the coach said it and the Trib printed it, I’ll go with it.

1. Help the Timbers celebrate a 6-point weekend.

From the huh? dept…
A paper in Idaho is claiming that the Portland Timbers will be playing on a field inside the Meridian Speedway in Boise on July 6 against an unnamed opponent. Considering the factual errors in the story, I’d be surprised if this were true, but the club does have an open window [...]
