Prior to Saturday's match between the Union and the Timbers, I caught up with Timbers beat reporter for The Oregonian, Jamie Goldberg.
The team had a game in Costa Rica on Wednesday night, what is that turnaround going to be like for them?
This is definitely the longest distance and shortest turnaround they’ve had to do this season – first CCL away game and it is a different challenge for them. The team traveled back to Portland on Thursday and are training in Portland on Friday. They did leave four starters behind in Portland in Liam Ridgewell, Alvas Powell, Darlington Nagbe, and Jack Jewsbury.
