I’m pretty sure this is my first time trying to cover two MLS games in one column. Let’s see how it goes.
1) First up, last Wednesday’s game in Montreal.
As I’m sure you remember, I was hoping the team would leave all their first-string players back here in Portland, resting up for the weekend game with Dallas. My logic was that a home game versus a Western Conference opponent was more important than a road game against a team in the Eastern Conference.
This was my reaction when the Starting XI was announced.
