Diego Chara helps create a special Timbers-Sounders match poster showing the "arm wrestle that never ends"

Timbers Sounders Match Poster, Diego Chara, 6.23.17

Ahead of this weekend's Heineken Rivalry Week fixtures, MLS tapped into the players' creative sides to develop a series of match posters that speak to each rivalry. Our own Diego Chara offered up his thoughts about Portland-Seattle. From there, they brought their ideas to life with the help of artists Noah MacMillan.


Chara offered up a perfect metaphor for the Portland-Seattle rivalry: "An arm wrestle that never ends." As someone who featured in the first-ever MLS meeting between the sides, the Colombian is no stranger to battling Seattle in central midfield (or scoring the rare, incredible goal).


Head over to MLSsoccer.com for a look at all the rivalry week match posters and be sure to watch Timbers-Sounders match presented by Providence Health & Services on Sunday at 7:30pm PT on ESPN2 with a special pregame broadcast beginning at 7pm PT.
