Timbers Marching

For the second consecutive year, the Portland Timbers are starting the season on a lengthy road trip. By now, most of you are intimately familiar with most of the Timbers’ woes: Portland has allowed a league-worst ten goals in three games. In all three games, Portland has conceded first, twice in the first fifteen minutes; and Portland has lost players to red cards in the past two matches.

The Timbers have made a very serious investment in the Providence Park renovation — and not just from the pocketbook.
