    Mocking a former Seatle Tifo with a better one and then proceeding to gut the fish to jump above the red-line and extend our winning streak? Solid day

    No.

    Played 1 year at Wake Forest and attended HS here at Berkshire School. Doesn't even have a Green Card, so at least 5 years away unless he gets married then 3.

    The homer in me is not happy that Adi and Valeri both aren't on the all-star team. Somehow Liam Ridgewell made it and was hurt a bunch and has just been average when he has played.

    Some random Timbers notes:

    - Adam Kwarasey was sent to Norway's Resenborg BK. Gleeson has played great since getting the job (minus 1-2 goals most can be attributed to poor backline play which has started to play better as the team has gotten over injuries) and has made at least 1-2 top-shelf saves every week. Guy is uber athletic and comes in at almost 1/4 of the price of Adam and has been with Timbers since year 1 of MLS. At 25 he has a shot to be the guy for the next 5+ years (I assume he gets a bump in pay soon)
    - The star on the jersey of Freddie was actually painted by Diego Valeri. They Army rolled up the tifo so only the star could be seen and him and his young daughter painted it. He asked if he could see the rest and they told him, 'you can once the game starts :smug:.'

    It's Rosenborg and that's a bannable offense if Mix sees it.

    Probably is, but that's how all the media outlets say it. :idk:

    I have zero familiarity with soccer in Norway so I have no idea. What is the deal behind it?

    Steffen was named #3 keeper on the depth chart at Freiburg. You are not going to see any real minutes as a GK at #3.

    No real reason to think you can't develop as a GK in MLS versus Europe. Just getting games is key and Steffen can move back over at some point if he blows up.

    Well Orlando City beat the shit out Portland earlier this year so I guess I might just refer to them as that team in Norway going forward. I don't hold a grudge or anything.

    I think you combined Regensburg in Germany and Rosenborg. Just busting your balls.

    He's not in the prime of his career and is 3rd on the depth chart there, playing time is most important at that age.

    Unless something is happening with Clark I'm not sure he is #1 in Columbus though either

    If Steffen can handle back passes, he can probably pass Clark to start next season.

    Feel that Castillo could do better than this but who knows

    Sources have confirmed Fabian Castillo is closing in on transfer to Trabzonspor, fee in $3-4 million range #DTID :

    Sounders think they've got a deal worked out for Lodeiro, they'll still be shitty. Also some Turkish club offered LAG $2.5 million for Zardes and LA refused.

    I would think Castillo who is just entering his prime would fetch over $5M and better league than Turkey.

    Regardless would be good business for FCD who bought him for very little in 2011.

    I would keep him through season though if that is the best offer as Dallas has a chance to win it all with him.
