It’s that time again! Welcome to the 23rd 2019 edition of the Forecast!
Last Sunday, the Portland Timbers traveled to Minnesota to take on the suddenly-surging Minnesota United and almost earned another road point. Almost. For the first 75 minutes, there wasn’t a whole lot to the match except heat and humidity. Then, Brian Fernandez pinged the post, and a few minutes later Mason Toye missed a sliding shot from close range. Then, on a corner kick a couple minutes later, Larrys Mabiala flailed his arms a bit in the box, the ball may or may not have hit one, and the referee went to video review.
