1) After a long off-season writing a bunch of silly filler columns, almost immediately followed by a long quarantine writing even more silly filler columns, this time next week, I should be writing about an actual real-life Timbers game. Awesome, right?
Well, maybe. I can’t decide. As I wrote about the league’s first Orlando Plan, I’m rather torn about the whole thing. Yes, yes, I definitely miss soccer, but is it too risky to come back before our medical system has this thing licked? I genuinely can’t decide.
But you’ll be surprised to discover that MLS doesn’t consult with me on these matters, so whether I’m for it or against it, the MLS is Back Tournament is going to happen.
