Tough acts to follow: Pele as a teenager in the 1958 World Cup, the Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964, most any movie headed for a sequel and the Portland Timbers’ defense of 2007.
The Timbers set a high standard last season, allowing 18 goals in 28 regular-season games after giving up 39 the year before.
Defender Scot Thompson says the team hopes to do even better this season.
“I want to give up fewer goals,” he says. “But if we win the championship and give up more, that would be OK.”
Even with much of the team returning, shutting down opponents (the Timbers posted 18 shutouts in 34 total games) might not be as easy this time around.
