Everyone still upset over Wednesday night? Yeah, me too. But we all have to have some short memories, because this roller coaster of a year is hurtling towards its end. And despite their best efforts, the Portland Timbers are above the red line — in sixth place to boot! And they still control their own fate. Winning both of their remaining fixtures means Portland is for sure in the playoffs.
That being said, getting help from around the league means more than ever now. Case in point: With a win and a little help (more on that in a bit), Portland can punch their ticket this weekend.
