As with most encounters between the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, this Sunday’s affair is hotly anticipated (pardon the pun).
It will officially be the 98th match between the two. It features the last two MLS Cup Champions. It will also feature cameras in both of the clubs supporters’ sections. The cameras will be streaming live on ESPN3 and the ESPN App to “capture the atmosphere.”
While it might make sense from a distance, this just has “bad idea” written all over it. Best we can tell, ESPN didn’t consult with the Timbers Army or ECS.
