The Rapids head to the Rose City this weekend to face the lumberjacks of Portland.
Before we get started here, I need to admit my bias that the Portland Timbers is my second team. I grew up in Corvallis, and have been following the Timbers for years. But, the Rapids will always be my first team, so hopefully that means you won’t completely disregard everything I will say here. With that, how do the Rapids look as we return to playing MLS teams, especially after the epic and terrible result against our arch rivals?
The Timbers have been quietly one of the best teams in all of MLS for most of the year.
