So here we are. Kinda awkward, watching from home.
But here it is, the final match of the season — the one for all the marbles. While this would be much more interesting with the Timbers in the finale, alas, it wasn’t meant to be. So we have to watch the Columbus Crew take on the fishing village up north. Normally I wouldn’t really care about tonight’s game. But there is a rooting interest here for Timbers fans.
For one night and one night, only I will be rooting for the Crew. I mean there is the obvious Portland connection, with Caleb Porter and Darlington Nagbe, though Nagbe will be absent from tonight’s festivities as he isn’t medically cleared to play.
