i attended 2 Portland Timbers games, Timber Joe encourages a fanstastc Tifo by slicing a piece of a log after we score.
the revving of a chainsaw when portland have a corner is class as well
A heartbreaking result.
Ryan Nelsen - Head Coach, Toronto FC
Do you feel like you let one get away?
Obviously when something like that happens, yes of course, but for sixty five minutes of the game I thought the guys were fantastic. When you look at the schedule that we had for the first four games they were extremely difficult games. The guys have shown that they are taking steps forward from the first game against Vancouver until now. I have to look at the bigger picture and the bigger picture is extremely positive.
Can you talk about the spark Luis Silva and Jonathan Osorio provided in the second half?
Both of them provided some energy and they are very good players, very creative and instinctive. They can handle the pressure and they played their part really well.
Still some praise from Galaxy head coach.

We’re still drawing far too many games and losing leads / winning positions. Same last night against Montreal but what a goal by our skipper, Darren O’Dea:

Please lock this thread and set up the official Metalurh Donetsk Supporters thread
DARREN O’DEA has put the finishing touches to his move to Ukrainian club Metalurh Donetsk after his contentious departure from Toronto FC.
O’Dea, the skipper of the MLS[/URL] club, was told he was surplus to requirements by manager [URL=‘http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Ryan_Nelsen’]Ryan Nelsen[/URL] on account of the size of his wage packet. Nelsen described O’Dea’s €350,000-a-year salary as “ridiculous” and told [URL=‘http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Toronto’]Toronto officials to move him on.
The Ireland[/URL] defender shunned a lucrative move to Ukraine last year in favour of a better quality of life for his family in [URL=‘http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Canada’]Canada.
Now, he is on his way to Donetsk, where he has agreed a three-year deal with the city’s lesser lights, Metalurh, who have been overshadowed by the exploits of neighbours Shakhtar.
They finished fifth in the league last season and will enter the Europa League at the third qualifying stage with a view to qualifying for the group stages.
Their regular 5,000 capacity stadium is unfit for European games, so they will use the Donbass Arena, the home of Shakhtar and a Euro 2012 venue, as they bid to make the jump.
They are currently in the process of building their own stadium and have ambitions of becoming a genuine long-term rival for their neighbours.
However, Metalurh are quite an unstable club and current boss Yuriy Maksymov is their 13th manager in the space of 10 years. They have existed in their current guise for 17 years.
O’Dea was approached by another Ukrainian side, Tavriya, last year and revealed that he could have earned three times as much as his Canadian wage.
The Dubliner is following in the footsteps of his good friend Aiden McGeady, who broke the mould by uprooting for a new life in a different culture in Moscow, although McGeady is keen to leave Spartak this summer after a three-year stay.
Both should be named today in Giovanni Trapattoni[/URL]'s Ireland squad for the August 14 friendly with [URL=‘http://searchtopics.independent.ie/topic/Wales’]Wales. Trapattoni is likely to reveal an enlarged squad with a view to cutting it down closer to the fixture.
The only MLS-based player now in his plans, captain Robbie Keane, is a doubt as he is currently troubled by a hip problem and has been only sparingly involved in friendly internationals since agreeing a new deal at LA Galaxy.
Locked.
Good decision to lock the thread, pal.
