Our Soccer Ally list started six months ago, and since then one conversation we often see on Twitter about the list is a comparison of what team has more or less Allies than another, or which teams don’t have any at all. We get curious about this too sometimes, so put together a list by team of how they are standing, as far as current players on the list go. Check it out, and start hitting Twitter if you want to see more players (or any at all) from your team on our list!
Jersey Review: Portland Timbers Throwback Jersey

(source: www.portlandtimbers.com)
There is a lot to be said about the newest jersey that the Timbers have released. In a way this jersey is very retro (minus the Adidas logo) and brings back the Timbers to the time of the NASL days in 1975. The 70′s Timbers colors themselves green, yellow, and neutral white are a great combination and no color is too overpowering.
I love that this jersey has the collared look. It just seems very cool to me and is different and professional. The look itself is amazing because the Timbers not only announced that the jersey would be produced locally but also that it would be made from recyclable materials.

Readers:
Thanks to you, our growth has been faster than we have anticipated! As a result, we’ve been forced to accelerate our timeline for deploying a new backend to prepare us for the busy season ahead!
Between 10pm, Tuesday (2/21) and 2am Wednesday (2/22) (Pacific Time), you may experience access issues to your favorite GLBT-oriented soccer website. Fear not, for this is a planned upgrade and sometimes it takes a few hours before the Internet catches up with our awesomeness. If all goes well, we will be fully-accessible before you have breakfast.
Our total transition will take another day or two, so while you will be able to access all of your favorite articles and posts, you will notice some slight layout discrepancies as we fine-tune the new codebase.
The end-result will be glorious… get ready for upcoming new features, new interfaces, and a more robust experience to make your time at gay4soccer.com all the more enjoyable and informative!

Nellie's in Washington DC has done charity work with DC United and has their games on the bar's schedule along with the Nats, Caps, and Wizards.
The number of gay sports bars in America continues to grow, and last year their rise garnered the attention of everyone from sports blogs to Business Week.
But how sports-friendly are our gay sports bars, and more importantly to our interest, how soccer friendly are they? When 10:30 PM rolls around on March 10 will Boston’s gay bars that claim to be sports friendly be tuned into the Revs taking on the Quakes at Buck Shaw Stadium, or will they choose to use those screens for music videos to please the clientele looking to dance?
