Timbers Tid Bits: USMNT Edition

I am still recovering from this weekend, as I'm guessing many of you are, and now with the two-week break I have nothing Timbers-related to take my mind off Sunday's travesty. Instead I'll have to turn my focus the U.S. Men's National Team as they face Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala in upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Hopefully I'll get to see a team I support win a game.
