PORTLAND, Ore. — There surely has never been a week quite like the one we just experienced. On Wednesday, we were all gutted by giving up a last-play equalizer, dropping two much-needed points at home to Orlando City. A few days later, it was our turn to do virtually the same thing to the Portland Timbers, grabbing an even more improbable equalizer in the 94th minute.
Assuming my math is correct, three points remains better than two, which means the two games didn’t quite even out.
Emotionally, however, maybe this is exactly what the Sounders needed.
