Rose City Forecast 24: Portland Timbers vs Chicago Fire

It’s the second of ten games at home in a row. Welcome to a midweek Forecast!

Over the weekend, the Portland Timbers hosted the Vancouver Whitecaps — and sent them back north with zero points. Sebastian Blanco opened the scoring with a beauty from distance in the 28th minute, but Vancouver homegrown Theo Bair surpassed Blanco’s effort ten minutes later with a smashing volley that will be a Goal of the Year contender. The two teams then went into half time with a goal apiece. Ten minutes into the second half, Marvin Loria got his own stunner in: He beat a defender off the dribble and buried a 25-yard banger.
