Since the Timbers returned from their camp in Tucson, Caleb Porter has been adamant that the match against the Fire would be treated like a regular season match. While the other teams in the Invitational have continued to try different combinations of players on the pitch, giving players less than 90 minute shifts, the Timbers have been building toward the full match performances that we have seen from them in the team's last two matches and will see again tomorrow.
