Kudos to the Timbers Army members who organized the large "RAPTURED" banner down in section 104-103. I don't think there was another SG in MLS this weekend that paid homage to Saturday's unique "event." My condolences go out to those who actually believed it was going to happen. Better luck next prediction I suppose.
Anyway, today's news is largely various reviews of games from this weekend including many, many Portland Timbers vs. Columbus Crew match ups.
Enjoy!
