On Thursday interesting things will start to happen: the schedule will be announced, the combine will kick off, and hopefully all of this dang ice that is currently coating Portland will have melted away. In the mean time, however, we have got to make due with what we have got.
In this instance, what we have got is the twitter account of the Portuguese top flight following a whole bunch of MLS teams and, interestingly, a number of Portland Timbers specific accounts.
As of 1:00 AM PST -- 9:00 AM in Portugal -- @LigaPFP was following 15 of the 20 current MLS teams and had recently started following Timbers players Jack Jewsbury, Ben Zemanski, Diego Chara, and Darlington Nagbe, as well as former Timbers captain Will Johnson.
