The Portland Timbers didn’t play any soccer this weekend for the first time in what feels like forever. Thankfully, it’s only for this week as they rest up in preparation for their first round matchup against FC Dallas next Sunday. That’s right: One week from now, even though at various points it felt like it was unlikely we would even get here, the Timbers will be playing playoff soccer.
It’s something that was already touched on after the final match against LAFC, but it’s worth repeating that it’s mightily impressive that the team has accomplished so much in 2020.
