Big Kiwi playoff match up in the MLS. Well sort of.
Boxall involved in 2 games from AWs, plus long trip back from UAE and starts against Portland.
Tuiloma with about 3 weeks off, consigned to the bench for Timbers, as Minnesota visit Oregon for knockout football.
Fine but cool 8 degrees C in Portland.

The winner will travel to Denver to play Colorado Rapids, who of course once had a strong Kiwi flavour. Looks like Neil Emblen (assistant coach & Jase Kim (video analyst) are still with the Rapids, from Huddo's time there.
