Now, if he could just bet some decent service inside the attacking 18… #rctid

Interesting insight. I do have to admit, they do default to Phil Mode in attack far too often. Gotta purge that in the offseason. I can’t see Da Costa making it through the offseason, nor Barrett or Fory. KMiller is a big sore spot for me. Surely we can find a quality CB who can defend 1v1… #rctid

Velde does tend to get lock tone from anyplace he can see the goal… #rctid

What could've happened when #LAGalaxy played #RCTID ?

#LAGvPOR ~ #MLS

What time are wristbands tomorrow? #rctid #rc2id

The Portland Timbers are growing up. They've traded in their faulty canoe for a fleet of company cars. However, they're finding out in real time how hard it is to get a drivers' license. #RCTID

The clip, for reference. #RCTID

One sequence illustrates the biggest reason why the Timbers continue to fail to win games in 2026: when the entire team doesn't defend, it becomes a walk in the park for opposing teams to move the ball through them. #RCTID

My recap of yesterday's loss. #RCTID

It's the 67th minute. Velde has intercepted a risky Garces pass directly into the center of the pitch. Janssen is onside. Instead of passing to his wide-open teammate in an extremely dangerous situation, Velde tries to put this on target. One touch, one shot, a waste. #RCTID

This team needs a serious overhaul, including upgrades at DP. But my larger point is that if you listen closely enough, Marti is beginning to sound like Phil, just w/more tactical sophistication & a Catalan accent #RCTID

If the Timbers had any compassion or respect for their fan base, they would have given up that second goal early in the first half so we could have gone to bed. #rctid

Nothing worse than watching your team lose to the LA Galaxy in front of about 27 of their fans. #RCTID

I think the problem is larger than that. The attack still lacks purpose beyond “get ball to Velde and see what he can create”. We need an 8 and 10 who are willing to drive at the defense and either distribute or shoot. We don’t challenge central defense; they get to basically play zone. #rctid

If the club doesn't care about making the playoffs, then I don't see why us fans should expel any unnecessary energy 🤷‍♂️ Apparently we are writing the season off. #RCTID

Yea, I got nothing positive to say…
