Portland's Strategy
John Spencer reverted to a 4-4-2 after experimenting the past few weeks with a 4-5-1. To pair with Jorge Perlaza, Kenny Cooper was recalled to the lineup only after Eddie Johnson suffered a concussion in warmups. Sal Zizzo and Darlington Nagbe operated on the wings with Diego Chara and Marcelin anchoring the center of midfield.

Like Angel, Gonzalez, and Ricketts, Nathan is suffering through an injury today, so post game duties fall to me.

Somewhere in a penthouse in Vegas there is a guy snorting lines and rolling in hookers because he put $100 down on Mike Magee starting for the Galaxy in their opening match. Don't know how far down your probability depth chart that was, but I'm still diving to find it on mine.
