So last week wasn’t too great for the Portland Timbers. They dropped some points that would’ve been very nice to have and lost some of the momentum they had built up in their five game winning streak. For a week they had reverted to the old version of themselves, the team that would give up a goal or multiple goals at the worst possible time.
But what better way to get your swagger back than with a win over your rivals? That’s what Portland will try to do on Thursday when they face off against the Seattle Sounders.
