Gaston Fernandez earned his first ever log slice last Saturday to earn the Timbers a point at home. La Gata's stoppage time goal made up for Jack McInerney’s header in the 64th minute. This week, Portland faces a similarly dangerous striker in Mike Magee of the Chicago Fire, if he plays that is. The Fire […]

The Portland Timbers host the Philadelphia Union at Providence Park this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with every intention of earning three points. Expectations are high in the stands and the locker room after the team’s most successful year in Major League Soccer. March 8th also marks the regular season debut of Gaston Fernandez and Norberto […]

​The Portland Timbers need goals. They head into tonight’s second leg of the Western Conference Finals down 4-2 on aggregate to Real Salt Lake, a team they have still not beaten in 2013. With the TImbers Army at their back, Portland has a chance to make their first ever MLS Finals appearance.   ​Alvaro Saborio’s […]

​Three days ago the Portland Timbers knocked the Seattle Sounders out of cup contention 5-3 on aggregate. Tonight at 9 pm PST they face Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Finals; a team that the Timbers have not defeated in 2013.   ​Caleb Porter’s group was humbled a bit in the final 16 minutes […]

Portland didn’t just win their first playoff match, last Saturday was the first time they had ever even lead a game in Seattle. Ryan Johnson scored early to put the Timbers up and Darlington Nagbe added another in the second half to seal it. Osvaldo Alonso pulled one back late, but there’s still at least […]

Caleb Porter has more than established himself as a great coach in Major League Soccer. His style, planning, and roster changes have led to a 23 point, 6 win, and 20 goal increase in just one year. Five of those goals came last week when the Timbers played Chivas USA to a 5-0 win in […]

Last Saturday night in Portland was a preview of the western conference playoffs. Number 2 Real Salt Lake didn’t even register a shot on goal in the scoreless draw against the conference leading Timbers. The single earned point lowers Portland’s shot at the Supporter’s shield, but was enough to keep them in first through the […]

​The Vancouver Whitecaps have won the Cascadia cup all thanks to the Portland Timbers. Kalif Alhassan’s 45th minute goal was all it took for the Timbers to beat their archrival and move atop the Western Conference. If they can continue this undefeated streak into Saturday’s match against Real Salt Lake, Portland will be going to […]

​The Cascadia Cup is over for Portland. While there’s no shot at winning, they can still do the next best thing: Keep the Cup out of Seattle. Three points also moves then one step closer to the Supporter’s Shield and a number one playoff seed. This evening at Jeld-Wen Field is shaping up to be […]

​At the end of the 2013 season the Portland Timbers are in the exact opposite position they were last year. Rather than sitting at the top of the Cascadia Cup race and the bottom of the conference, they’re third in the West and below both Vancouver and Seattle in cup play. Their only chance to […]

There’s a storm brewing in Portland and the LA Galaxy are walking straight into it. Just one point separates third place Portland from fourth place LA and fifth place Colorado.
