While Giovanni Savarese drills down on Sunday’s 3-2 collapse in Orlando, Portland Timbers fans may be taking a broader look at their team’s late-match failures, one fueled by the numbers ESPN’s Taylor Twellman relayed during this weekend’s broadcast. For the second week in a row, the Timbers had come from ahead to draw, continuing a trend that saw Portland drop 20 points from winning positions last season.
When evoking the past, the implication is there’s some connection between then and now; else, why would you reference the past at all? Does anybody talk about Kenny Cooper or Kris Boyd when talking discussing the team’s current forwards?
