When you think of the Portland Timbers attack, the first names that come to mind are star midfielders Diego Valeri and Sebastian Blanco.

It felt like the team had a core of excellent players to build on and a return to the Final and possibly winning it again has never felt like an unrealistic possibility.
Last season felt like it could be the year, especially after they won the MLS is Back Tournament by playing exciting, free-flowing soccer with their trio of South American stars, Diego Valeri, Diego Chara, and Sebastian Blanco hitting on a ..read more
