How do you define a successful season in Major League Soccer?
For the Portland Timbers, success has come in different forms in different years. The Timbers have had their share of regular season successes, post-season glory, and rivalry match triumphs, but so far the side has never repeated the successes of the MLS era.
2013 saw the Timbers make their way into the playoffs for the first time ever, finishing at the top of the Western Conference and falling just short of taking home the Supporters’ Shield.
2015 saw the Timbers squeak into the playoffs after a tumultuous regular season, only to go on a run that took them straight to the MLS Cup Final where they were victorious, winning the league championship.
