Three wins and counting will be one charming
way to describe how this Rose City squad is playing ball lately, thanks in its
majority to its Boss accurate moves.
Yes, that man I call the cheesmaster, by the
way his awesome moves to his initial eleven, is transforming the way his chaps are playing
lately as well delivering it with convincing and meritorious wins.
Is a way to say that Caleb Ball is alive
and kicking, with a lot of competitiveness infused in his chaps- that so far are
playing wonders in the field as well creating a strong brethren amongst them in
what many will say, this squad for real!
Losses hurt and many gave this squad as a sure
candidate to be destined in their conference cellar, unfortunately for many,
these Boys in Green aren’t done yet and now all of a sudden playing as an overall
contender.
Proving everyone wrong in league circles,
after all those three wonderful wins and maybe with the level of play and fury
shown by the Timber players, we may see an awakening of a dormant giant in Rose
City!
Tell that to a hungry Jack Jewsbury who
netted the game winner as well the dynamic Andean duo of Maxi Urruti and Gaston
Fernandez who with their soccer know-how netted the game winners in Colorado
and DC United.
Wonders indeed, is what these two Argentine
prodigies are doing in the field for the Timbers being the pillars for their
latest wins and although they didn’t performed their usual magic, still their
persistence really paid off at the end.
Once again those moves from the Cheesmaster
himself paid off with back to back goals in the end when Jorge Villafaña kick went directly to Adi’s
head and with just a push to net the first score in the 86’ and turning Providence
Park into a mad house.
And at the 89’ minute a wonderful play by
Timbers Diego Chara passing to Alvas Powell who this one never ceased in his quest
to breach the opposing goal all evening long, his pass came as a heavenly
opportunity in the feet of a well situated Adi who pushed the ball to the net
for the final score.
This Win gives an infusion of optimism and a
sure push to the Timbers squad, that in the beginning of the summer months and
at the end of the campaign this club is one serious menace to mess with as well
making a strong case in closing a successful campaign.
After a few weeks ago many saw this club
battling the horrific demons of the cellar all of a sudden is within distance
and a striking four points within its Cascadia rival’s the Seattle Sounders and
the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Seeing ahead and a continuance in this squad
winning streak, the Portland Boys will
stage a favorable comeback to the league top as well a three way race in Cascadia
not only for their internal cup competition but for the league top.
One of those showdown’s will be witnessed
on the 28th of June, when the Seattle Sounders come to Portland and
stage another one of their epic showdowns’ in the always fought off and spectacular
battles of the Cascadia Derby.
The Western Division for sure will be one
competed Conference with these Pacific Northwest clubs playing the way they are- as
well what will the league postseason will bring us if this has a continuation
by all three and especially Portland.
Mighty PTFC!
