How many matches have we had this year that looked like three or four different teams on the pitch? All RSL for the first half. All Timbers in the second. Except for those seven minutes at the end where we decided to show back up.
I’m sitting in a pub in Bend, Oregon surrounded by a score of 10-something-year-old Timbers fans. A few adults, too. Awesome people.
When the halves look this disparate, it’s down to coaching. Savarese did a much better job with the Timbers at halftime than Freddy did with RSL.
I’m still not sold on Freddy, but we’re on to Seattle.
