Four day’s perspective may not be enough for what we saw on Sunday, particularly after Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese said, “it was one of his best performances since I’ve been here.
“(Diego) Chara is very important for us, and he was incredible today.”
With Chara, we’re used to incredible. Last week, we talked about why, doing so in a way that risked making future praise redundant. But when a player performs like Chara did on Sunday, it’s only right to give that performance the attention it deserves.
