That’s what the Salt Lake Tribune is reporting. No indication of whether the loan will go beyond this weekend.
Seitz is a promising young keeper — 22 years old and a frequent member of the U-23 U.S. national team. Is he better than Steve Cronin? Possibly. The timing of this is fascinating. [...]

The second international friendly of the season has been announced. The Portland Timbers will face the unknowns that are owned by Bayern Munich. You can bet that those unknowns are pretty darned good. Not as exciting as, say, a match against the first team, but at least this will help to get [...]

A queasy, excited stomach. That is a sure sign that the Portland Timbers are almost ready to kick off their season. It happens every year. Forty-eight hours before the first match I get really, really nervous. Silly, really. I will have nothing to do with the outcome of Saturday’s game [...]
