PORTLAND, OREGON – Asked what he expects from Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s preseason finale vs. Portland Timbers, Carl Robinson smiled and said:
“A nice quiet match.”
Which, of course, means it will likely be the exact opposite.
It is a Cascadia derby, after all. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. PT on Wednesday night at Providence Park. The match will be streamed online at whitecapsfc.com.
FINAL TUNEUP
Wednesday’s match comes exactly one week ahead of Vancouver’s much-anticipated CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal vs. New York Red Bulls.
