Years have gone by and I've finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: "A pretty move, for the love of God."
And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don't give a damn which team or country performs it.

Timbers Play at Home Friday
The Portland Timbers will host the Rochester Raging Rhinos(!?) tomorrow evening at PGE Park. The lads in green and white had a tough couple of games last week on the road--against Miami (3-2) and Puerto Rico (3-1)--but will hopefully turn things around this weekend. Rochester currently has a 4-0 record, while Portland is currently 1-3-1. Reportedly, defender Scot Thompson--who was injured last week in the game against Miami--will return for the Timbers, though midfielder Edwin Miranda will be out with a thigh injury. Tomorrow's game is at 7:00. Portland will also be playing on Sunday at 6:00 here in P-town against the lowly Toronto Lynx.

Ouch. Thanks for the record and injury details. Like I just told Zach Dundas, I'll be happy if we avoid a drubbing....not that I expect we will.
Yeah, honestly I'm a little worried about both games. But I'm always worried, I guess.
