You may remember last weekend as one of the most unconvincing 3-0 wins the Timbers have ever managed — but it’s still a 3-0 win. Despite the scoreline, however, you could say that the offense sputtered a bit and, without the help of two silly penalty kicks conceded by the Philadelphia Union, the score could have looked very different. However, Philly did give up those PKs, and the defense kept a mostly deserved clean sheet ... and so the Timbers got all three points.
The best pick of the week goes to jocked07, who took 15 of 21 available points with the correct scoreline (and, therefore, the clean sheet), the Valeri PK, another goal, and that the first yellow would go to Alejandro Bedoya.
