Match Thread: Portland Timbers vs. Seattle Sounders (12 p.m. PST)

The Portland Timbers are officially done with Concacaf Champions League play, which means they can focus solely on their opponents in MLS. What better opponent to mark the beginning of that shift than the team that hails from the fishing village up north? That’s right, we’re getting an early Cascadia showdown at Providence Park with the Seattle Sounders coming to town.

The Sounders have looked good to start the year. There was talk that they could experience a down year, but that has not been the case so far. Instead, they’re 2-0-1 (W-L-D) with both of those wins coming by multiple goals.
