After a much needed break (both for the fatigued players and frustrated fans), the Portland Timbers are set to take the field once again, as they head to Carson, California to face the LA Galaxy this Saturday (2pm PDT, ESPN).
A disappointing start to the season for Portland gave way to a two-week break for the players and staff to analyze what went wrong and figure out how to fix it.
Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese believes that the break was helpful. Particularly, it was beneficial for his beleaguered team to get a chance to step away and reset.
