PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland Timbers coach Caleb Porter let his players loose on Sunday against Chivas USA. The result was goals for Rodney Wallace, Diego Valeri and Will Johnson in a 3-0 Portland victory, which extended the teams unbeaten streak to nine straight matches. Porter didnt want the Timbers to get too caught up in the streak that everything that comes with it, so he gave them free rein against the Goats. "I told them to go out. Dont think. Be free. Play," Porter said following the match. Portlands undefeated streak is an ongoing franchise-best for the Timbers, who joined Major League Soccer in 2011. Portland (4-1-6) suffered its lone loss back on March 9 when the team fell 2-1 at home to Montreal. The victory pulls Portland even for the MLS lead with Dallas FC, which also has not lost in nine matches. Chivas (3-5-2) is in last place in the Western Conference. They have not won since a 2-1 victory over Vancouver on March 30. "My team is running. My team is fighting. My team is giving the effort," said Chivas coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola, who is known as Chelis. "Its just not enough." The match was marred in the 86th minute when Chivas midfielder Mario de Luna pushed a ball boy after the kid picked up an out-of-bounds ball. De Luna was yellow carded, and because of a previous yellow, hell miss next Sundays match against Real Salt Lake. Afterward, both Porter and Chelis shook the ball boys hand. The Goats were without starting goalkeeper and captain Dan Kennedy because of a red card in last weeks loss to Sporting KC. Patrick McLain, in his MLS debut, allowed two goals after Kennedy was sent off in the 4-0 Chivas loss. McLain made his first league start against the Timbers while backup goalkeeper Tim Melia continues to recover from a lower back injury. McLain leapt with his arms outstretched but couldnt stop Wallaces left-footed rocket from just outside the left corner of the box in the 34th minute. Wallaces third goal of the season came off a pass from Ryan Johnson on a fast break. The Timbers made it 2-0 when a wide-open Valeri beat McLain in the 70th minute. Valeri blew kisses to the fans following the goal. Johnsons fourth goal of the season came in the 90th minute when his low kick skirted past several defenders and the reach of McClain. It was Portland goal keeper Donovan Ricketts fourth clean sheet of the season. "The chemistry is out there. Were all connected," Wallace said. "I think every single guy on this team -- whether theyre starting or not -- is giving their all." Portland visits Cascadia Cup rival Vancouver next Saturday. Chivas was also without midfielder Carlos Alvarez, who was suspended two games and fined an undisclosed amount by the MLS for violent conduct during the loss to Sporting KC. Alvarez, penalized for kicking the ball at Peterson Josephs head, will also miss the teams match against Real Salt Lake on May 19. Earlier this week, Chivas traded Juan Agudelo to the New England Revolution in exchange for allocation money. The forward had two goals this season for the Goats. Chivas USA won all three meetings with the Timbers last season. The Timbers Army supporters group co-ordinated for a fan display of a rainbow flag, unfurling a banner that said "Pride Not Prejudice" in recognition of International Day Against Homophobia this May 17. Attendance for the match was announced at 20,674, the Timbers 40th straight sellout. NFL Jerseys China .J. Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. Stitched Cheap Jerseys .

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Heavy hitters in Nevadas casino industry are going to bat for a project backed by one of their competitors, saying a proposed NFL stadium and a convention center expansion in Las Vegas are game-changing opportunities that Nevada lawmakers shouldnt pass up.Steve Wynn of Wynn Resorts, MGM Resorts International CEO Jim Murren and Caesars Entertainment Executive Vice President Jan Jones Blackhurst gave speeches Monday to Nevada lawmakers who are meeting in a special session to vet public financing for a stadium thats backed by Las Vegas Sands casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and could house the Raiders.This is absolute dead-bang, winning opportunity, and I hope you will find it in your wisdom to approve it shortly, Wynn told lawmakers, saying professional sports would be a cornerstone to the stability of Nevada tourism. I personally believe that if we lose this opportunity, it will be one of the most heartbreaking mistakes weve ever made.Blackhurst, the former mayor of Las Vegas, said the projects will take the tourism mecca to the next level.Weve been offered a gift here, she said. Weve been offered a gift that takes us from 45 million visitors, to 55, to 65 million visitors.Murren fought back against the idea that his company, the largest employer in the state and a major player in the convention industry, would be threatened by the improvements.You might come to the conclusion that MGM would be opposed to both of the projects before you. In fact, the exact opposite is true, he said. We know the entire community benefits when our convention center is full.The testimonials are llikely to add credibility and political cover to the stadium proposal, which critics call a handout to a billionaire.dddddddddddd Adelson, one of the richest men in the world, wants to put $650 million of his own money toward a $1.9 billion venue and is asking for $750 million in public hotel tax revenue.Lawmakers have been vetting the particulars of the arrangement, which some outside economists say is a bad deal based on overly optimistic predictions about how many new events and tourists the proposed domed stadium would attract.Steve Hill of the Nevada Governors Office of Economic Development said the projections passed scrutiny from Las Vegas casino executives, who are more familiar with the citys tourism landscape than outside economists and are some of the business worlds brightest minds.Two-thirds of each Republican-controlled chamber of the legislature must approve any tax increase. The proposed deal would increase the hotel tax on the Las Vegas Strip by 0.88 percentage points for the stadium and 0.5 percentage points for the convention center. Tourists pay a 12 percent hotel room tax. They would pay about $1.50 more per night on the average nightly Strip hotel bill if both proposals pass.NFL owners would have to vote by a three-fourths majority to allow the Raiders to move from Oakland to Las Vegas. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said he prefers to keep the team in the Bay Area, while the teams owner, Mark Davis, said hes serious about moving the team. ' ' '
