Crossing the Touchline: Crew vs. Portland Timbers
For the first time in over three years, the Columbus Crew face off against the Portland Timbers. The two sides, although on different ends of the country and in different conferences, have a rich history. Both teams had head coach Caleb Porter bring the sides an MLS Cup title and Columbus was the backdrop for Porter and Portland’s Cup-winning victory. Since then, a lot has changed for both teams.
To prepare for Sunday’s match between the Timbers and Crew, Massive Report wanted to learn more about Portland. That’s where Alex Barnes comes into the story. Barnes covers Portland for Stumptown Footy. We spoke with Barnes this week.
