Dropping Timber – Timbers vs Whitecaps Game 1

The 2010 playoffs begin in less than 48 hours and some there’s good news with some tough news.

Good News – Fox Sports Northwest has picked up the first playoff game in Vancouver and it will be televised live at 7:30pm this Thursday.

• Timbers – FSN to televise Thursday’s Timbers playoff game

Tough News – Defender Futty Danso is in Belgium, training with The Gambian national team in preparation for an Africa Cup qualifiers match this Saturday.  The Timbers will miss the first playoff match and likely miss the second. National team duties come first, and this is Futty’s second call up.  Congratulations and good luck to Futty, but you will be missed.  Tough news indeed.
