Lots of talk about Portland in the MLS someday and here is a link to Garber meeting with Paulson today before the USA Women's match at PGE Park.. Oregonian Story
The sad thing is Seattle will finally get an announcement during the MLS Cup match about landing a MLS team. From what has been leaked the team name will be the Sounders but I would be very surprised if any of their current players would be on that MLS club. Plus they will not be the top of the MLS their first season.
On the Portland side with Paulson as the owner the MLS is a good bet after 2010. Timbers brand by that time will be well known and the fan base will be in place. But we are talking 2010 not 2008 or 2009. So to say who will be on that team and how it will effect the Timbers fan base it is a bit early. The fans in Portland are lucky to have Paulson as an owner.
