Greetings and salutations! Welcome to another year of Portland Timbers football and another season of coverage provided to you by the fine folks here at Stumptown Footy. As you may know, we’ve already played two matches and have advanced in the Concacaf Champions League. Now the Timbers are set to face one of the most storied sides in Liga MX — Club America. But that’s for another day.
Tonight, our boys in a green and gold head to Sandy, Utah. No, we’re not playing Real Salt Lake, but the Vancouver Whitecaps. Because of COVID and international travel, most of the Whitecaps home matches will take place at Rio Tinto Stadium.
