Six Degrees: Set Piece Offending

Despite being breathtakingly injured, the Portland Timbers somehow managed two straight shutout wins. Could they make it three in a row?

No. Turns out, the answer is no.

1) Fun fact I learned Sunday afternoon: the Philadelphia Union had players on the field who were 6’2”, 6’2”, 6’4”, and 6’6”. With that kind of height, they were probably pretty good on set pieces, right?

Right.

Though, to be honest, on this first set piece goal, height didn’t have much to do with it.
