[R] Adopted Cousin of Other MLS Teams' News Thread

28 goals in 6 games yesterday. Defense took a night off.

 

Caleb Porter reportedly offered Portland job.

Wrong job, wrong time, wrong place. He's going to be in MLS sooner rather than later but that's a bad match right there.

I can't believe he'd take it.

The best part about that article is - as is typical for sbnation whose motto ought to be "thank god for bleacher report, which keeps us from being the biggest pile of crap on the web - where they sayPorter is "close to taking" the job.

But their source The Oregonian, says no such thing. The report says that Porter has gotten an offer. Nothing more.

Sbn is trying to fill tthe hole left by MLSTumors.

obviously not responsible enough for the MLS. He is a shame on his father's name.

 

Rumors abound on Twitter that Porter is going to be named coach of the Timbers tomorrow

 

missing the boat on that one we are, I'd say.

What will be interesting is to see how well his tactics work on that small-ass pitch

 

Goff retweeted from @strongmls (whoever that is) yesterday that they are going to widen it to 74 yds during the offseason. Said the decision was made this past summer.

 

This isn't sour grapes talking, but I think this is also the wrong move for Caleb. I'm sure they threw him plenty of cash, though.

Portland's owner, judging from his very public and childish Twitter arguments with STHs, is... crazy

 

I'm not so sure. Coaching in college isn't anything like coaching in the pros.

 

It's official. Porter to Portland.

Former DC United player Brian Namoff suing DCU for $12mil, citing negligence concerning concussions in 2009 that lead to his career ending.

 

How trendy

 

Its gotta suck to be NER. You score 6 goals in your last two games and only get one point.

 

In addition, I just saw on Twitter that they're officially, 100%, without-a-doubt eliminated from the playoffs.

 

Yeah, but they're solid on tiebreakers.

Philly's playoffs hopes are crushed.

In addition,

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/USA/FCDallas.html 6.2% chance

Quite a jump from 6.2% to 90% and not a whole lot of points separating them.

 

if it's anything like the arsene, arsenal story it could be a very good move for both...
