It was an unusual weekend for both the Portland Timbers and Timbers fans. For the first time in what feels like forever, the Timbers did not have to play a match. After spending most of October playing game after game on only two to three days rest, they actually had a weekend to themselves.
“It felt good and it felt strange,” head coach Giovanni Savarese said. “It felt good because it was good to be able to watch all the games, to be able to be at home, to be able to practice and stay here in our facility.
