I literally had to read the press release to figure out why the heck the club was wearing those colors.

A lot of standing around in the offensive third in the attack (from time-to-time). But it's the start of the season.

Getting exposed like they were on the counter concerned me more. Portland probably should have score at least four or five.

They did a good job for the most part in the second half stopping Portland in their 18. The fullbacks getting caught attacking is concerning, but seeing Trapp fill in on the back line when the fullbacks are moving forward showed me he's almost ready for that armband. I'm still not wild about Parkhurst, would be nice to find a replacement for him. Someone who can defend corners and set-pieces. I though Sauro played a pretty good game.

Didn't like Jiminez starting today over Cedrick or Meram, but heard Meram wasn't 100%. Once he's back in the fold, and in match form, the attacking presence from that side will be there without as much of a reliance on our fullbacks to move forward.

Another game, another trash goal given up off of ball watching. This one off a throw-in(?!) no less.

If Michael Parkhurst didn't have a handful of USMNT caps would he be on the pitch?

He's pissing me off more than Tyson Wahl. And that's saying something. He was decent the first year he was here, but he's gradually declined every year since. It would be nice if they could find a solid replacement.
