Portland Hosts Chelis for the First Time

The Portland Timbers and Chivas USA began the 2013 season the same way.

Dynamo Return Home With Six Points

Entering this week the Dynamo hadn’t won a regular season MLS match on the road since July 28, 2012. Looking at the trip they embarked on this week most Dynamo fans would have been happy with two, maybe 4 points. Not only did they finally break their road unbeaten streak but they won twice in […]

Two Seven-Match Unbeaten Streaks at Stake in Frisco

Believe this: the Portland Timbers are undefeated in their last seven matches, undefeated on the road in 2013, are fourth place in the Western Conference, have the sixth best points-per-game average, and also have the sixth best record in the MLS.

Short and Sweet: DC United’s Slump Continues
