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".

Scoring in MLS...
It's a small thing perhaps, but I noted in an article yesterday about the leading scorers in MLS right now that both Alan Gordon and Kenny Cooper are right up there. Both former Timbers strikers who've done well when placed in the right mix. Goal scoring is a skill for which there are many different formulas. For our team the biggest question up front may continue to be not whether we've got talented players but whether we're putting them in a context that works for their style. Not a brilliant insight perhaps but a reminder that football is a team sport.
