Yeah...it's been raining for sixteen days straight and the temperature is hovering at 42 and the lines on the pitch are starting to float in the puddles, but the guys are pullin' their boots on and muttering that "we're too old to be doin' this" at the same time they're getting that rush of old boy adrenalin that shouts "Yes! I'm here and I've got my boots on. I may be old but in the words of Old Nick, "I AINT DEAD YET".

Holy Cow...Rodney Wallace is the hero for Costa Rica!
Okay I have been less than enthusiastic about Rodney Wallace on the Timbers' back line. And I still think I'm right that he's not the man we need as outside defender. And I would be the first to admit that, as a defender, he does get up there in the fray scoring goals. But I am stunned to see that the US National team went down yesterday to Costa Rica on a goal headed in by Wallace in the second half. In his first appearance for his country. And I guess I'd have to just acknowledge that the guy did it well. And good for him. I hope that it perhaps will help him step up his play and his confidence , particularly if he stays with our home side. One thing I love about the Game is that it's always full of surprises. Atta Boy, Wallace!
