The Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders may change the time of their match on Sunday from 1 pm to an evening start time. If you were wondering why, here is your reason: temperatures are projected to be in the upper 80’s to low 90’s at the start of the match, rising to the low to mid 90’s by the end of the match (Weather Underground projects it to be 88 at kickoff, and 93 by 3pm). Playing in that weather can be dangerous (via ESPN):
Houston Dash forward Rachel Daly collapsed during the final minute of a National Women's Soccer League match against the Seattle Reign as temperatures climbed into the 90s.
