Portland Timbers 3 - California Victory 0

The California Victory has lost 3 matches so far to the Timbers this season. The Timbers have scored 6 goals in those matches without giving up a single goal. California & Portland still have two matches to play against each other left on their schedules.

The Timbers now have 7 wins, 2 losses, & 3 ties on the season. They are in fourth place in the league. They are currently trailing Vancouver, Rochester, & Seattle. But each of those 3 teams have played at least 4 more matches than the Timbers have. This team has really jelled together in a hurry. Bryan Jordan has to be up there for "Rookie of the Year" honors this season. He has 3 goals and an assist on the season. He has also drawn several penalty kicks which Andrew Gregor has stepped up to the spot to take.

I know I am excited about the possibilities of a high seed in the playoffs already.
