Scouting Report: Will the Portland Timbers rotate their lineup this weekend?

It’s Team Diego. Team Lumberjack. Merritt Paulson. Gio Savarese. Timbers Army. Here we go:

In 2020, the Portland Timbers won the MLS is Back tournament and then finished the season 3rd in the Western Conference with a record of 11-6-6... before being knocked out of the playoffs by our very own FC Dallas. The pre-season predictions estimate that they will show similarly this season – unless Father Time catches up with them. And I’m not going to lie... when I think about Portland, I start wondering how old they are. Personalities around MLS harp on their ages.
