It will be straight up this weekend. I believe the Timbers roster is full with no expected absences. This will be a great game regardless of the outcome. Two very good teams meeting on the field.
Good perspective!
The closer to the weekend the less I think it will be straight up for 1 reason. I don't know about the rest of the state, however down here in vancouver we have some epidemic or something going around. In just about every middle school today I was hearing of between 100-300 kids absent. I'm hoping everyone will be healthy this weekend for both teams, but its starting to get less likely as I'm seeing more and more kids go home sick. Its actually really sad.
WSA United 96 wins 4-1! My understanding is that the Timbers had 3 girls from their A team playing due to injury/illness. Looked like the Timbers had 16-17 girls there today. United 96 had 4 girls injured/ill but they all played. I guess this ansers the question of who should be ranked where. United 96 is playing real well and we are all so proud of them!
For the record:
WSA was the better team, period. 4-1 better? I don't think so, but definately better.
Timbers had exactly ONE girl from the Reds. She has been getting minimal time with the Reds, and this was to help her get some touches (which is the point of the player pass). She didn't take anyone's minutes, as a few were sick, and she played less than 20 minutes.
This is the 2nd time that someone affiliated with WSA has made a comment about the sharing of players with the Timbers. Correct me if I am wrong, but did the United not have a girl play for them today that just came off a local U13 select team after their Commish Cup ended, and did that player not play for the Glory yesterday?
Must be bullet-proof glass in that glass house, or the stones might stay in the bag.
Ok so Timbers manager informs our coaches that 3 of their Reds are playing due to Blues injuries/illness so maybe the other 2 didn't play no big deal 
I always find it humorous when a team wins by a significant margin (3 goals in the first half alone) that they are not that differential better then the other team. For the record on this day United 96 was 4-1 better then the Timbers and were it not for some increadible plays by the Timbers could have easily been 6-1.
This girl was rostered to the WSA United 96 team before the start of Spring league in accordance with the rules so yesterday she played up due to injuries on the Glory. Certainly a prper use of the player pass.
I don't get the glass house comment guess I'm a little slow today, maybe someone can explain it. And dogone it after 3 post I already got negative karma! 
One Red player suited up and played. That's it. There were others there in street shoes, watching the game.
My point was that "people in glass houses should not throw stones". The player pass was used properly by the Timbers, and certainly no less so than the way WSA chooses to use it. However, as is often the case, the big, bad, Timbers are wrong, and WSA is right. One poster was WSA himself. Not sure if you were the other.
As for score differential, like I said, the United was the better team (and I think not just on this day, they are the better team, period). The United have a better midfield, a better back line, and a deeper bench. And as for "if not for some incredible plays", there were some on both sides that would have changed the score...either way.
