FRISCO, Texas – Two days in the Lone Star state leave the Portland Timbers settled and prepared ahead of their most important game of the season.
That, at least, is the feeling around the squad heading into Wednesday’s Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round playoff against FC Dallas (6:30pm PT, Presented by Spirit Mountain Casino, ROOT SPORTS). Though the team is coming off a Sunday regular-season finale loss in Vancouver – and though the squad had only 18 hours in Portland between games 34 and 35 of their season – the air around the group is one of preparedness.
