Just when it seemed like the Timbers were a top-level team, Atlanta comes to town and shows us that we’ve still got a ways to go.
1) Let’s start with the Chicago game last Wednesday. We won 3-2, but a lot of people are angry about the game. Should they be? Mmmmaybe a little. Or not. I can’t decide.
The reason folks are upset is that the Timbers ran out to a 2-0 lead playing perhaps their best soccer of the entire year. Here’s the first goal, courtesy of right back Jorge Moreira.
