MIA: Kerrea Gilbert

Out of 20 signed players, Kerrea Gilbert is the only member of the Portland Timbers that has yet to report to training camp. A report came out on OregonLive on February 9th that Gilbert was having trouble securing a visa.

Hopefully he is able to join the team as they venture to Arizona. Gilbert is falling behind in gaining match fitness and familiarity with the rest of the players. He was one of the signings most Timbers fans have been extremely excited about. A young player who came up in the Arsenal system with loads of potential. We hope to see you in Timbers green soon!

Inspiration: Take it to the Next Level

Still can't get over how powerful this ad was that released in 2008 for the European Championships. This is the full length director's cut featuring some moments that obviously needed to be cut to shorten the commercial. Take another look and enjoy.

Arsene Wenger Backs Colorado Rapids

I am definitely pulling for Colorado. When you live with a couple friends that grew up with one of the Rapids players you have to root for him. I have always believed in the two headed monster up top with Casey and Cummings. I think the FC Dallas back line will have a hard time handling these two players.

FINAL PREDICTION

Colorado 2 - FC Dallas 0
