The Portland Timbers have only been in preseason for four days, but already we are coming up on the team’s first friendly of 2017 as the side set themselves to face off against the New York Red Bulls down in Tucson, AZ.
The match will be the first played by any team in Major League Soccer this year, kicking off the 2017 season in earnest. For their part, the Timbers should be able to field a mostly complete side in this match as the side are missing only a handful of pieces that should be with them by March.
