Portland Timbers star forward Fanendo Adi expects a family affair when the rival Seattle Sounders visit Providence Park on Sunday for a showdown between the last two MLS champions.
Seattle, which already defeated the Timbers twice this season, won last year’s MLS Cup. Portland captured the 2015 title.
“We are their big brothers because we won it first,” Adi playfully told the Timbers’ website ahead of the game. “It’s going to be a big brother against the younger brother. It’s going to be a great game, and we’re all ready for it. No doubt, they’re also ready for the challenge on Sunday.
