I’m sorry, but that nil-nil draw with FC Dallas in some ways felt like a loss. The Timbers could have moved up the table with a win, further cementing themselves in the playoff race. Even though it was only one point, I think all of us would take that over zero points. Anyway ... the Timbers now head out on the road for a home and home series with Real Salt Lake. Can the green and gold pick up three points on the road, or will the offense sputter once again?
Real Salt Lake are coming off a 1-1 draw against the second-best team in the West: Sporting Kansas City, who are just two points out of the lead in the West.
