Tomorrow we’ll have the chance to watch the Portland Timbers play a real, meaningful game of soccer. We won’t have to scroll through our Twitter feeds trying to parse together some idea of who scored and which Timber is best in seasons that begin with a prefix (the answer is always Dairon Asprilla). Instead, we’ll get to watch the Timbers play real soccer tomorrow at 3 p.m. (on FS1, for those wondering).
For this first match of their Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League run, they’re in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, for their matchup against CD Marathon. Marathon is a team that has struggled as of late, as our own Sam Svilar pointed out with his most recent article.
