Timbers have a solid team, based on this lineup. The real battle will be heavy legs for some who also played Tuesday. I wonder if Ortiz gets the nod over Paredes, though. I think Paredes deserves a shot here and would be totally fresh. It should be a fascinating game. Orlando is pretty stingy on goals allowed, and we're trying to break out of a scoring slump. I'm also glad to see Fory back. He should have a good battle with Pasalic. Prediction: 2-2.
Add to the daunting challenge sauna-like temperature (92 degrees but feels much hotter thanks to high humidity). Maybe the soccer gods will command the skies to deliver a wildcard - thunderstorms.
For the first time this season I am a little anxious
BECAUSE WE FINALLY GET A HAT TRICK (KELSY LETS GOOO!!!)
Great report as always, Jeremy!
