It might seem fitting that our old friend narrative has come along this weekend and reared its head. In Ohio, it was a team and location in which we won MLS Cup that put an end to the first team’s unblemished record. In Portland, it was a Timber who scored the game winner, for his new team.
T2 opened 2017 much like 2016, with a loss, dropping a 2-1 result to Real Monarchs SLC at Providence Park in front of 2,600 supporters. The Monarchs are coached by Mike Petke this season. However, with an absence in the first team staff, that might not be for too long.
