Just like the team they traded with is wanting to pick up as many Mexican-Americans as possible, the Portland Timbers appear to be snagging as many former Akron Zips as they can.
The Portland Timbers today announced that the club has acquired midfielder Ben Zemanski from Chivas USA in exchange for allocation money and the right of first refusal to defender Jonathan Bornstein.
Currently the Portland Timbers have 30 players on their roster, including Kris Boyd who has not yet been confirmed as leaving the team. This presents a unique challenge for any General Manager or Head Coach because the MLS roster limits are 30 for each team. So, if the Portland Timbers want to add more players, get more depth, or generally improve the squad beyond what they have now, they'll need to free up more space.
Here's something that you might have missed if you don't pay regular attention to MLS's Extra Time Radio podcast. This last Monday, Gavin Wilkinson took the stage and spoke with the guys over there. While much of the conversation was pretty basic stuff, most of which we've known about for weeks if not months, they did bring up a couple players that we've all been very interested in since the 2010 Expansion Draft: Jonathan Bornstein and Robbie Findley.
According to MLS' website Bornstein has once again been transfer listed after not seeing much time with the first team and Monterrey not making the playoffs. The Portland Timbers currently have Bornstein's MLS rights when they acquired them during the Expansion Draft and according to the MLS roster rules site Portland looks to have rights of first refusal.
Tauro 0 - Real Salt Lake 1 RSL got the result they needed in Panama, staying in contention in Group 2. Alvaro Saborio's stoppage time penalty was the difference, setting up another must win in their final group stage game at home against Herediano. Saborio will be suspended for that game due to yellow card accumulation.

Mexico's Liga MX played over the international break. Michael Orozco subbed on in the 89th minute for San Luis in their 2-2 draw with Atlante. Luis Mendoza opened the scoring for San Luis in the 2nd minute with Noe Maya doubling that lead in the 61st. Atlante scored in the 81st and equalized three minutes into stoppage time.
En resumen, el partido de ayer nos dejó muchas cosas para el análisis. Desde la gente que "mata" a Ferretti por ir con cuadro alterno, hasta quienes se avergüenzan del club por "faltarles al respeto" por no tomar en serio los torneos internacionales.
A decir verdad, lo que más duele, molesta, incomoda y sin fin de sinónimos que se me vienen a la mente, es ver que jugadores que a gritos, declaraciones y tuits pedían la titularidad, la tuvieron ante un rival "cómodo" y, aún así, no pudieron aprovecharla.

Israel Jiménez por estar concentrados con la Selección Mexicana.

After scoring a highlight-reel goal in a friendly this week, Terrence Boyd will be looking to do
something he has yet to do in his budding career -- make a top-flight, first-team appearance in a
game that counts.
Despite already having four caps with the U.S. national team and following a season with
Borussia Dortmund's reserves in which he scored 20 goals, the 21-year-old Boyd eyes his pro debut
with Rapid Vienna this weekend as the Austrian Bundesliga season gets underway.
Luego de 13 horas en las que se tuvo a la gente con una tremenda incertidumbre, terminó el
