The Portland Timbers advance to the MLS Cup Final as they win on a 5-3 aggregate-score against FC Dallas; drawing a 2-2 tie in the final match of the two leg Western Conference Finals. This win is huge for Soccer City USA and winning the Cup would be the cherry on the top!
Whether you’re a regular or a casual fan, this campaign that the Timbers are on is great for soccer here in Portland. Yes, Oregon has had success the last few years with the Oregon Ducks college football team, but that was a 2 hour drive down south in Eugene. This championship run was in the heart of downtown Portland. Nothing could be better then seeing thousands of individuals dressed in green with scrafs marching down Burnside to Providence Park.
The Timbers will face Columbus Crew next Sunday in the MLS Cup final. The Crew defeated the New York Red Bulls to advance to finals..
