Having something to be bitter about is almost a step forward. Almost. Ultimately, the Portland Timbers are, again, dealing with disappointment, with an official’s decision piling on a 2-1 scoreline that favors FC Dallas.
We’ll get into that decision in a moment, because undoubtedly, that will be one of the biggest memories from today’s result. But another memory will be feeling of helplessness in a six-game winless start, as well as questions about when that streak will end. If the Timbers play, over the coming games, like they did today – particularly in Saturday’s final 30 minutes – results are going to come.
