Six Degrees: Best In the West
12 months ago, the season's final week included the Timbers getting knocked out of the Champions League, getting knocked out of the MLS playoffs, and losing a seemingly un-losable Cascadia Cup.
This year, the season's final week included a Western Conference championship, a Cascadia Cup, a potential MVP, and, oh yeah, a Thorns championship.
What a difference a year makes.
1) I've always thought of Vancouver center back Kendall Waston as a wildly overrated player. To my eyes, he was just a goon whose greatest skill was avoiding penalties and red cards. And I don't think I'll every forget this play from last year.
