A couple of points are
what separated the Portland Timbers from reaching the promised land of the
league postseason and surrendering it to its Cascadia rivals, last campaign.
With many having high
expectations for this club as well many at Rose City expected a repeat of their
astounding squad 2013 performance- that saw a brilliant revival
of its Timbers!
2014 was campaign
that exposed many of these club weak points and after a not so promising start;
it’s when Manager Caleb Porter once again worked his magic and turned this club
around at the end.
That was then and now
it’s time to focus in the many new challenges that this campaign will bring to
the Rose City squad, looking to soar into new heights and make an all-around
statement in league play.
As every campaign
will bring a new series of challenges to Major League Soccer and its squads, this
2015 edition will see the debut of two new squads and although they aren’t
situated in the Timbers conference- the contest will be there.
Portland will be
situated in a new and reorganized Western Conference, which changed its
postseason format to six spots and two new tenants in the always competitive
and hardened Sporting Kansas City and Houston Dynamo.
Were the Portland
Timbers will see its foes in: Real Salt Lake, LA Galaxy, Cascadia rivals in the
Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps alongside the San Jose Quakes,
Colorado Rapids and those always dangerous Dallas FC.
It’s when Manager Caleb
Porter will use his resources to surpass its squad rival’s and make contenders
of his Timbers looking to net some shields to Providence Park halls as well add
more honor’s to his count.
New Timbers will be
making their debut this campaign at Providence Park, where the squad top brass
wheeling and dealing brought three new faces to make this squad into a top
notch competitor.
On the arrival of
Colombian forward Dairon Aspirilla, Brazilian midfielder Jeanderson Pereira, Goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey
and Real Salt Lake defender Nat Borchers.
Not only scoring in these players brought from Europe and
South America, the Timbers future looks very promising with players of the
likes of Michael Nanchoff, Taylor Peay, Schillo Tshuma and draftees Nick Besler,
Seth Casiple, Anthony Manning, Andy Toma and Christian Volesky.
Reinforcing every position in its initial eleven, the Timbers
are looking forward to make an impact in this upcoming edition of Major League
Soccer with style and resounding authority.
Those Portland Timbers and its Boss sees a bright future
ahead for his squad and these chaps with a lot of desire to triumph and make a
splash in league circles alongside assure themselves a spot with the big squad.
Hail Portland Timbers, your amazing fans will salute you
in your Timbers Green Amy and not only them but the whole fan base of Rose City
that has earned a top spot in all theaters of Major League Soccer for their
spirited support!
Something that these squad will take in their favor while
playing at home and away with an absolute determination and ambition to make a
lot of noise in this 2015 edition of Major League Soccer, with dedication and
plenty of class.
If I Root, I Root for The Timbers!
