PORTLAND TIMBERS vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY JELD-WEN FIELD, Portland, Ore. 8 p.m. PT (KPTV Fox 12; KSMO)
July 2, 2011 (WEEK 16; MLS Game 156)
The Portland Timbers return home trying to halt a recent slide and cool off visiting Sporting Kansas City when the clubs meet Saturday at Jeld-Wen Field. The Timbers lost for fourth time in five games last time out, a 4-0 defeat at FC Dallas. Sporting won for the second straight game in their new ground and extended their league unbeaten streak to seven in a 2-1 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. REFEREE: Hilario Grajeda.

RETURN MATCH: 8/17: Sporting Kansas City vs. Portland Timbers, 6:30 p.m. CT Coaches record: Peter Vermes v POR: first game … John Spencer vs. KC: first game PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers saw their winless skid reach five games, falling 4-0 to FC Dallas on Saturday night at Pizza Hut Park. The Timbers have 18 points from 14 games, sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference. LAST MATCH FC Dallas had a two-goal lead before halftime. In the 33rd minute, Zach Loyd headed home his first career goal off a Daniel Hernandez corner kick. Center back George John followed suit five minutes later — also with a header from a Hernandez corner. FCD made it 3-0 in the 58th minute. Right back Jackson laced a through-ball to Eric Alexander, who fired at Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins. The ball rolled away from Perkins' dive and hit the far post, leaving Shea with an open goal to tap home. Five minutes before full time, Jackson provided the knockout punch. Perkins parried his long-range blast into the air, but the ball looped high then fell into the goal, adjudged to have crossed the line just before Ruben Luna finished it off with a header to the back of the net. Timbers coach John Spencer made one change to the team that lost 1-0 to the Colorado Rapids at Jeld-Wen Field. Mamadou Danso came back from injury and replaced David Horst. PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-4-2): Troy Perkins - Jeremy Hall, Mamadou Danso, Eric Brunner, Rodney Wallace Kalif Alhassan (Sal Zizzo 57), Jack Jewsbury, Diego Chara, Darlington Nagbe (Adam Moffat 46) - Kenny Cooper, Jorge Perlaza (Eddie Johnson 63). TEAM NEWS The Timbers lost for a fourth time in their last five games, conceding four goals in the loss at FC Dallas, the most in club history since being in MLS. “I thought we were very poor,” Portland head coach John Spencer said. “From the first moment to the last, we never matched them at all, never got close to them, never tackled them, never ran with them. Just a poor, poor performance.” The Timbers are still winless on the road, having lost five of seven games away from Jeld-Wen Field. They are one of five teams still without a win on the road (also: Houston, New England, Toronto, Vancouver). “When you play as poorly as that, you can accept it as an off day,” Spencer said. “But now we seem to be on the road and getting beat too easy, and that’s unacceptable and I told them that.” Spencer indicated changes could be coming to his team. Since the start of May, just 13 different players have made starts for the Timbers, the only changes usually forced by injury or suspension.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“There’s no guarantee for the starters. You have to earn the right to start. I’m not just blowing smoke. … The time has come to where maybe it’s time to freshen things up a bit,” Spencer said. After missing the New York game through an injury that forced him off early the week before, Mamadou Danso returned to the back four. “We have to quickly turn around and get it out of our heads and try to move on to the Kansas City game. They (Kansas City) came and won here so they are going to have that courage coming in to our place to play well,” said Danso. “We should not lose back-to-back games. We haven’t won in five games so we have to get off to a good start to the second half of the season.” Midfielder and captain Jack Jewsbury missed full training at the start of the week, held out with a groin injury.
SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City extended their league unbeaten streak to seven games, winning for the third time in four in a 2-1 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 17 points from 15 matches on the season, moving into a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH Whitecaps FC took the lead in the 15th minute. Davide Chiumiento served a free kick from the left flank toward the penalty spot and Camilo flicked a header backwards into the far corner. But Sporting equalized in the 32nd minute when Omar Bravo converted his own penalty kick from after Jay DeMerit took him down in the box. Sporting took the lead in the 40th when Bravo headed Zusi’s corner back across the six-yard box for Júlio César to whip past Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Joe Cannon. SKC manager Peter Vermes made five changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with Philadelphia Union on Wednesday evening at PPL Park. Aurelien Collin came back from suspension, joining Roger Espinoza, Milos Stojcev, Graham Zusi and C.J. Sapong in place of Luke Sassano, Birahim Diop, Kei Kamara, Davy Arnaud and Teal Bunbury SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Roger Espinoza, Julio Cesar - Milos Stojcev (Davy Arnaud 69), Omar Bravo (Michael Harrington 85), Graham Zusi - C.J. Sapong (Kei Kamara 81). TEAM NEWS Unbeaten since May 28 and winners of three in their last four, Sporting Kansas City pulled themselves out of the cellar in the Eastern Conference with the 2-1 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. “The change is obvious now,” said Omar Bravo. “The responsibility, the attitude and the discipline has changed with these games. We’ve been a lot more positive.” Sporting have allowed just four goals in their eight games. Jimmy Nielsen has seen his goals against average fall from 2.17 to 1.36 in that span; his shutout streak ended at 339 minutes, the fourth-longest in MLS this season. “We did well defending and offensively as well, we were creating some good opportunities,” Nielsen said. “There was a good flow in our game. To go a goal down and then respond so quickly, it shows we have the momentum right now. We’ve got the defense, we’ve got the belief.” In his last three games played, KC’s Graham Zusi has scored three goals and added two assists. He returned from missing the Philadelphia match through injury to set up the game-winner last weekend. Davy Arnaud missed a game through injury for the first time since March 28, 2009. He had played 65 of the previous 72 games for KC, the only absences because of suspension and international duty. But Sporting were dealt a blow when it was announced Arnaud will undergo sports hernia surgery and miss 3-6 weeks. While Aurelien Collin returned from suspension and regained his place in central defense, there was still a place for Julio César, who moved forward into a holding midfield role. “He reads the game very well,” Vermes said. “He was able to tactically play a role for us that would take away a strength of the other team. I thought (against Vancouver), for me, he was close to being the best player on the field for us because of the way he played tactically. His decisions were excellent, we had great spacing between the back line and the midfielders and he was very calm.” After playing exclusively at left back before joining Honduras for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Roger Espinoza made his first start since May 21 – in the center of midfield. “His response right back to me was ‘Hey, the rest of the guys played on Wednesday. I can play on Saturday as well,’” Vermes said. “I think Roger has a comfortability in the midfield right now, and you can see that he gained a lot of confidence playing the last two games for Honduras.” On Tuesday, Sporting advanced to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup with a 3-0 win against the Chicago Fire PDL side. Teal Bunbury put SKC into the lead after just three minutes, then Milos Stojcev (58) and Kei Kamara (59) scored seconds apart to ice the game.

HEAD COACH JOHN SPENCER After a standout 18-year professional playing career, Glasgow, Scotland, native John Spencer served as an assistant coach for the Houston Dynamo under head coach Dominic Kinnear for nearly five seasons (2006-2010). He helped lead the Dynamo to back-to-back MLS Cup championships in 2006 and 2007 and four consecutive playoff appearances. From 2006-08, Spencer also coached the Dynamo Reserves, guiding the Dynamo Reserves to the 2008 MLS Reserve Division championship. On Aug. 10, 2010, Spencer was named the first head coach in MLS Timbers history, and on April 14 of this season, Spencer earned his first win as an MLS head coach as the Timbers poured in four goals in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Fire. As a player, Spencer played for such noted English clubs as Chelsea, Everton and Queens Park Rangers, and Scotland’s Glasgow Rangers. In MLS, Spencer starred for the Colorado Rapids from 2001-04, becoming the only player to be the team’s MVP and scoring leader in the same season more than once. Spencer, 40, began his professional playing career in 1987 with Rangers. As a striker, he played for several top-flight clubs over 14 seasons in Scotland and England, most notably amassing 43 goals with English-power Chelsea (1992-96). Spencer joined MLS and the Rapids in 2001 and was considered the team’s undeniable leader due to his skill and work ethic. During his time with Colorado, he played in 88 games and his 37 goals ranks among franchise career leaders. Spencer set the club’s single-season mark for goals (14) and career mark for assists (17), was a two-time MLS Best XI selection (2001, 2003) and was a finalist for the league’s MVP award in 2003. The two-time MLS All-Star (2001, 2003) captained the Rapids to three straight playoff appearances from 2002-04. Spencer etched his name into Rapids history on Aug. 30, 2009, when he was inducted to the Rapids Gallery of Honor. During his playing career, Spencer earned 14 caps with the Scotland National Team from 1994-97. He earned his first cap for Scotland against Russia on November 16, 1994, in Glasgow. His favorite soccer memories include playing for Scotland against England at Wembley Stadium in the 1996 European Championship. He last appeared for Scotland on May 27, 1997, in a friendly against Wales. TICKETS FOR EXHIBITIONS AGAINST CLUB AMERICA, WEST BROM AND INDEPENDIENTE ON SALE The Timbers play host to three international exhibition matches during the month of July against renowned clubs from different parts of the world.

She will be recognized on the field during a halftime ceremony at Saturday’s match against Sporting Kansas City. Dayton will represent Portland at the 2011 AT&T MLS All-Star Game, where she will be in the running to win $10,000 for her charity of choice. PURDY EARNS FIRST CAP FOR EL SALVADOR IN GOLD CUP QUARTERFINAL Last weekend Timbers defender Steve Purdy made his first appearance with the El Salvador National Team, starting at right back against Panama in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY AT PORTLAND TIMBERS SATURDAY, JULY 2, 2011 FC DALLAS HANDS TIMBERS 4-0 DEFEAT IN TEXAS FC Dallas got goals from four different players, midfielder Daniel Hernandez had two assists and goalkeeper Kevin Hartman recorded his league-leading eighth shutout to lead the hosts to a 4-0 victory over the Portland Timbers at Pizza Hut Park last Saturday. FC Dallas struck in the 34th and 39th minutes on similar corner kick plays, as Hernandez sent in crosses from the left corner to set up headers by defenders Zach Loyd and George John, respectively. After the break, midfielder Brek Shea extended the home lead to 3-0, scoring for the third straight game by pouncing on a rebound after midfielder Eric Alexander’s shot bounced off of the left post. The hosts added a fourth goal for good measure when midfielder Jackson, who had hit the crossbar in the first half, tallied in the 87th minute. Playing in the Lone Star State for the first time as an MLS club, the Timbers were unable to get a consistent attack going and saw their season-long winless streak extended to five matches. JEWSBURY TO FACE FORMER CLUB Saturday, Timbers captain and midfielder Jack Jewsbury gets his first chance to play against the club that traded him to Portland for allocation money March 1. Jewsbury, who spent the first eight years of his professional career with the then-Kansas City Wizards, was born in nearby Joplin, Mo., and played collegiately at Saint Louis University, recorded 14 goals and 20 assists in 195 games (142 starts) for Kansas City. In his first season with Portland, Jewsbury is having one of the best seasons of his career, having already set a career high with 14 points while matching a career high with four goals and adding six assists, one shy of his previous career best. Like many of his teammates, Jewsbury has done much of his damage at home, scoring three goals and contributing five assists in eight games at JELD-WEN Field, ranking tied for third among MLS players with 11 points at home. Jewsbury has tallied at least one point in six of his last seven home MLS matches, including five straight from April 17-May 29. PORE'S FORMER TEAM VISITS PORTLAND Timbers midfielder Ryan Pore will also face his former club Saturday. Pore began his career as a second-round pick (16th overall) of Kansas City in 2005, scoring three goals and adding two assists in 58 games (17 starts) over four seasons with the club. GOLDEN BEAR REUNION Timbers defender Steve Purdy (2003-06) played at the University of California-Berkeley with both Sporting Kansas City defender Luke Sassano (2004-06) and goalkeeper Eric Kronberg (2005). A PLACE TO CALL HOME After spending the first three weeks of their inaugural MLS campaign on the road, the final stages of renovation work at JELD-WEN Field were completed in time for the Timbers to debut their impressively refurbished home on a national stage. The Timbers, in front of sold-out crowds of 18,627, scored seven goals on their way to opening up the stadium with a pair of wins over the Chicago Fire and FC Dallas in mid-April. JELD-WEN Field underwent a $40 million renovation that transformed the already iconic downtown Portland venue into one of the most unique and intimate soccer venues in North America. JELD-WEN Field improvements include the addition of an entirely new eastside seating section that will house the new KeyBank Club and premium club seats, the Widmer Brothers Southern Front deck behind the south goal that will provide unique vantage points ideal for casual group seating, a new, state-of-the-art video board that features the latest in high-definition technology for an enhanced fan experience and a new FieldTurf playing surface wellsuited for the variety of sporting and community events that will be featured each year at JELD-WEN Field. Phase I of construction, which included foundation work for the new eastside seats, began in early 2010, while renovation on a larger scale began on Sept. 7, 2010, as demolition commenced following the Division-2 Timbers’ home schedule. JELD-WEN Field, located in the heart of the city, was originally constructed in 1926 and has undergone a number of transformations over the years, none more substantial than the current renovation. The stadium has housed some of the most memorable events in its 85-year life, including presidential visits, an Elvis Presley performance in 1957, Pele’s last official game as a professional and the 2003 Women’s World Cup. It was home to the NASL Timbers from 1975-82 and most recently served as the home grounds for the USL Timbers from 2001-10.
SUPER SUB Midfielder Sal Zizzo has made 11 of his 13 appearances this year in a substitute role, second in the league behind Chicago's Orr Barouch (13), as of June 22. Zizzo replaced midfielder Darlington Nagbe at the half Saturday at FC Dallas, recording his second shot on goal of the season. STRIKE FIRST At 5-0-0, the Timbers are one of two MLS teams to win every game in which they have scored first (Columbus, 4-0-0). Portland is 0-7-3 when conceding the first tally. LETTING UP Thirteen of the 26 goals the Timbers have allowed this season have come in the final 30 minutes of the game. Portland has lost potential points by allowing goals in second-half stoppage time in each of its last two home matches. HOME SWEET HOME The Timbers are tied for second in MLS with 15 home goals (8 games). Portland has scored three or more goals in three games at JELD-WEN Field and have been shut out just once at home. PERKINS VS. KANSAS CITY In nine career matches against the Sporting Kansas City franchise, Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins owns a 5-3-1 record, including an impressive 4-0-0 mark in 2006, his Goalkeeper of the Year season. Perkins has averaged over five saves per game in his matchups with Kansas City, including last year's eight-save effort (on a career-high 12 shots faced) in D.C. United's 4-0 MLS First Kick loss in Kansas City. Perkins is coming off Saturday's match at FC Dallas in which he faced a season-high nine shots. NAGBE AND BUNBURY CROSS PATHS AGAIN Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe and Sporting Kansas City forward Teal Bunbury, close friends and former teammates at the University of Akron, will be reunited Saturday for the first time since Bunbury left Akron to enter the 2010 MLS SuperDraft following his sophomore season of 2009. The two share many common characteristics, not the least of which is that they represent the last two winners of college soccer's Hermann Trophy; Bunbury won it in 2009, Nagbe in 2010. Both born outside the United States, the two are each second-generation professional soccer players. Nagbe's father, Joe, captained the Liberia National Team, while Bunbury's father, Alex, played forward for the Kansas City Wizards from 1999-2000. Teal Bunbury became the first son of a former MLS player to play in the league when he debuted in 2010. SAPONG RETURNS TO JELD-WEN FIELD Sporting Kansas City striker C.J. Sapong, who has two goals as a rookie this season, played for Reading United AC in the 2010 PDL Championship that was held at JELDWEN Field last July. Sapong's club was eliminated by the Timbers U-23s, 2-1, in the semifinals of the postseason tournament, with current Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson making three saves and midfielder Freddie Braun scoring the game-winning goal for the eventual PDL champions. MLS ALL-STAR VOTING COMING TO A CLOSE Fans can still vote to send their favorite Timbers to the 2011 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 27 at Red Bull Arena. Through Tuesday, fans are able to vote online at www. MLSSoccer.com or via text message for the players they believe should face Manchester United. The six Timbers included on the fan ballot are Futty Danso, Rodney Wallace, Kalif Alhassan, Jack Jewsbury, Kenny Cooper and Jorge Perlaza. Jewsbury and Danso currently sit just behind the leaders at their positions. Managed by Red Bulls coach Hans Backe, the 2011 MLS All-Stars will face English Premier League titleholders Manchester United at 5:30 p.m. (PT), live on ESPN2 and Galavision. SCOUTING SPORTING KC After beginning the season by going 1-6-3 on a difficult 10-game road trip while their new home, LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, was being built, Sporting Kansas City has gone 3-0-2 and is climbing up the Eastern Conference standings. Currently riding a seven-game unbeaten streak, Sporting KC has done its damage with a deep group of forwards, including Kei Kamara, Omar Bravo and Teal Bunbury with three goals apiece, and rookie C.J. Sapong with two. Starting the week just two points out of the final playoff spot, Peter Vermes' club is finding its form as it enters a stretch where it plays 11 of 12 games at its brand new home following Saturday's game in Portland.

Sporting Kansas City Game Notes | July 2, 2011 vs Portland Timbers | www.SportingKC.com
SPORTING KANSAS CITY HEADLINES SKC ON STREAK | Sporting Kansas City are unbeaten in their past seven MLS matches (3-0-4), the second longest active streak in MLS. After three consecutive draws -- at Colorado and Toronto, then home to Chicago -- Sporting posted victories in three of their past four MLS matches, with a 4-1 win at FC Dallas, 1-0 triumph at home over San Jose, and 2-1 comeback win over the Vancouver Whitecaps FC last Saturday following a scoreless draw at Philadelphia. BACK ON THE ROAD | While Sporting Kansas City is unbeaten at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park with a 3-0-1 record in all competition since its opening on June 9th, Sporting Kansas City returns to the road on Saturday to visit Jeld-Wen Field for the first time against the expansion Portland Timbers. Following Saturday’s match, Sporting Kansas City will play 11 of its next 12 MLS matches at home, and 13 of 14 when including the July 12th Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal and July 20th international friendly against Newcastle United FC. The homestretch comes after a record 10-game road trip to open the season, which amounted to the longest stretch of away games in MLS history, topping the Chicago Fire’s nine-game road trip to start the 2006 season. Kansas City is 61-126-55 (.366) all-time away from home, and is 2-6-4 (0.333) on the road in 2011. The Eastern Conference is 9-34-32 (.333) in away matches during the 2011 season, for an average of 0.79 points per game. ARNAUD OUT | Sporting Kansas City captain Davy Arnaud will undergo sports hernia surgery next Wednesday in Los Angeles and is expected to miss up to six weeks while recovering.
