The 13 game undefeated Portland Timbers face the bottom dwelling Austin Aztex this Saturday. Portland's potent offense will face one of the league's worst defenses, which should make for a solid win for our Timbers. The Aztex are led by the Brit Edward Johnson who has scored 4 and assisted on 3 others. Johnson's claim to fame is a one game appearance for Manchester Untied back in 2004. Since then he bounced around English football until landing at Austin this year.
Game time temperatures in Austin should be around 100 degrees at game time, but Portland has played in these hot conditions before with immunity. The key as always will be to get on the board early, and with the potent goal scoring we have shown this season, we should get the win over this struggling team. We have predicted a Stephen Keel goal on this road trip, and the stars are telling me that deep in Texas, Stephen "Big Hair" Keel will find the back of the net. Our major hope though, will be a better performance from the ref then we saw in Minnesota.
Austin Players to Watch
Edward Johnson - An English footballer who in his first season leads the Aztex in points.
Sullivan Silva - Scored the game winner in 1-0 win over Cleveland.

Portland Timbers in Fifa 2009
I wanted to sign a few Timbers to the team I'm managing in Fifa 09. I went through the rosters and found out who was in the game. Here are the current Portland Timbers you can find and their ratings:
Alex Nimo, Real Salt Lake (MLS)
Pos: LWM
Overall: 55
Control 57
Dribble 63
Short Pass 47
Cross 41
Sprint 74
Stamina 68
Ryan Pore, KC Wizards (MLS)
Pos: ST
Overall: 58
Control 55
Dribble 54
Finish 56
Shot Power 53
Sprint 79
Stamina 64
Johan Claesson, Gefle IF (Allsvenskan)
Pos: CM
Overall: 59
Control 60
Dribble 53
Long Pass 54
Short Pass 61
Tackle 57
Strength 55
Stamina 69
Steve Cronin, LA Galaxy (MLS)
Pos: GK
Overall: 60

Stephen Keel, Colorado Rapids (MLS)
Pos: CB

Nice ratings on speed for Nimo and Pore. I looked at the detailed ratings on Keel and I noticed they didn't respect his offensive skills, giving him around the same ratings as they give all defenders.
I might look through and find a bunch of past Timbers as well- might be fun to make an all Timbers team.
