AC Milan vs. Timbers
BY ZACH DUNDAS | 503-243-2122

[June 13th, 2007] Soccer: A chance to explore other cultures, plus drink beer and wear seasonally inappropriate scarves. This Tuesday night, fans of the Portland Timbers enjoy a rare opportunity to do all of the above—with a little of that Italian bella figura flair.

OK, so actually it's AC Milan's "Primavera" team, a squad composed of under-21 players the Italian club hopes will become superstars. Still, the barely legals in Milan's black-and-red jerseys should give the blue-collar homeboys quite a game. (And maybe, who knows, vice versa.)

How big is the gap between our Timbers and their boutique visitors? Let's compare.
