It’s hard to believe that the MLS season is halfway through, and we’re only just on the eve of the first Seattle Sounders-Portland Timbers match of the season. All 3 of the matches have been squeezed into the second half, which should make for an exciting end to the season.
The Timbers have had a slightly better first half of 2016 than the Sounders, though not by much. They’ve played two more matches than Seattle, and currently sit in 7th place with a 6-6-8 record and 26 points. The Sounders no longer sit at the bottom of the table after Wednesday’s big win, and now find themselves in 9th place and 6 fewer points than the Timbers.
