For the record, the Timbers got outscored 3-2 by Seattle Thursday night. For the record, no one cares.
1) Okay, let’s start with a quick reminder of where things stood entering Thursday night’s game. The Timbers were leading the series 2-1 on aggregate, but the Flounders had an away goal, which could prove an important tiebreaker. If Thursday finished 0-0, the Timbers would move on. 1-0 Seattle, and our season’s over.
But if the Timbers score a goal, then Seattle has to score two. And if the Timbers score two, the Flounders have to score four.
