The two best attributes Joao Ortiz brings to the midfield are:

1) Consistently showing for the ball in buildup
2) Making quick and simple decisions on the ball

So much easier to buildup when both of your #8’s aren’t level with the forward line. #RCTID

This, and the little moment from DDC to applaud (while the ball was live at his feet lmao) was amazing. #RCTID

Kristoffer Velde, you know I love you, but brother: stay on your darned feet more. You're too good to spend that much time trying to draw fouls. #RCTID

Solidarity from Soccer City USA, Portland Oregon!!!! #RCTID

Love to see Kamal Miller getting across Luiz on that counter after Da Costa and Chara couldn’t bring him down. #RCTID

34' Watching the Timbers play with a lead is a wholly different - and better - experience than watching them play without one. Just so much more composure and confidence on and off the ball. #RCTID

Is there something wrong with my TV or are the Timbers attacking up both the left AND right sides of the pitch?? #rctid

I'm flashing back to USL in 2010. Remember when @joypaulian.bsky.social got a red card v Minnesota? Since he wasn't gonna play, he wound up on the radio broadcast, doing color commentary for PTFC vs St. Louis away. Anyone listening HAD to know he had a bright future calling soccer matches. #RCTID

I love watching Velde play because I never have to yell SHOOT THE BALL at him. #RCTID

24' Field tilting more against the Timbers a bit more now. With the, erm, lack of faith I have in the collective defense, would be great to see the team wrestle back control with possession, or hit SKC on the counter.

Or both? Actually yeah let's try both. #RCTID

21' Bad giveaway from Portland in the midfield leads to a rip on target from Calheira. Pantemis easily gobbles it up. #RCTID

Delighted to hear @joypaulian.bsky.social on the broadcast tonight. More of this please @mls.bsky.social ! #RCTID

Love the kit man Sam Younie shoutout from former Timber Ian Joy on the Apple broadcast! #RCTID

Ariel Lassiter, where have you been all my life. He spins Meyer like a top and cuts a perfect ball for Da Costa in the middle of the box. Tidy clinical finish from the magic man to give Portland a deserved early lead on the road. #RCTID

And Miller doesn’t get one for completely upending Velde on the counter. Terrible consistency from the officials so far. #RCTID

🟨 Yellow Card 12' — Vincent Janssen (@timbers.com). Sporting Kansas City 0–1 @timbers.com. Major League Soccer

12’ Janssen got a yellow for that toe poke?!?! #RCTID

Jesus, that man has a family. #rctid
