    Timbers U23s have pulled off two home results in USOpenCup Qualifying, 3-1 and 1-0.
    There remain 2 away games - Friday at Spokane and Saturday at Yakima, both squads with two losses currently.
    The USOC spot goes to the top team in our division after 4 matches - 2 home, 2 away.
    Considering that there are is a team ahead of us with a 3-0-0 record, the U23s must win these weekend matches.
    My guess, though it frustrates me to find no confirmation online, is that the tie-break might be goal difference.
    Currently
    Kitsap +10, 10-0
    Victoria +4, 7-3 not in the running (Canadian)
    U23s +3, 4-1
    So, they need to put it in the net this weekend.

    That is all.

    You should email the team and ask them about the tie break.

    Up against the wall

    It looks like we need a draw or a Kitsap loss in the match below or it's over.
