Last game there was more drama in the stands of the Timbers than on their field, has that turmoil passed, will it help the visitors grab so road points so dearly needed? The fun starts at 10:30 p.m. ET on MSG, MSG Go & New York Red Bulls Radio with pregame from 9:30 featuring Mark Harmon as Ernesto Motta handles the game in Espanol from 10. One, a name back from the original NASL the other an original of the MLS, they are matched up for just the 10th time in history and this the 5th time in Portland.

NPSL, with their local team the NY Cosmos have made a minor change to their schedule. They will next play in 2 parts, spring & fall, kicking off in early March then until Late April, May- Mid August will be thier break as the fall starts late Aug. until Nov. when the national title game will be held. Neither of their seasons would cause a conflict with the summer season, with unique standings for both the early and later seasons. Those partaking in the spring and fall will be required to field teams in the existing summer as well.
