Jump scare of a notification.

Welp, I guess Timbers soccer is back for the finish. Here goes something. #RCTID

Here’s an interesting, if not depressing, thought experiment for Soccer City.

Whom are you more optimistic for about their future: the Timbers or the Thorns? #BAONPDX #RCTID

"It was a bad game. I think the start of the game was really really poor. The rest of the first half was really bad, and after that the game was over." -Marti Cifuentes #RCTID

I think it’s fair at this point to say that the Timbers probably are as bad as this scoreline suggests.

It is not a squad that needs a couple cosmetic procedures, it is a squad in need of open-heart surgery this offseason. #RCTID

I don't believe that the Timbers are as bad as the 3-0 scoreline suggests, but damn it is proving to be an impossible tide to fight back when you have to come from behind in literally every single game.

Just tosses any kind of initial game plan out the window essentially from the jump. #RCTID

And as sure as a soccer ball is round, the Timbers will absolutely refuse to start a game of soccer well.

Preston Judd tallies his third goal against the Timbers in 2026.

Sonofa- #RCTID

Due to results elsewhere, the Timbers must win to stay above the playoff line.

As sure as fall always arrives, the Timbers are also always fighting for their postseason lives this time of year. #RCTID

Vielen Dank Marie! #BAONPDX

Soooo checking in on this, and, uh.

Oops. #BAONPDX

For the Timbies... idk man. Last league game in SJ was a 4-1 beatdown, and Portland is down two (maybe three!) CB's. The vibes are also back to "down super bad" after last week's fumble. It could get ugly imho. #RCTID

The odds are higher the Thornies achieve the former rather than the latter. Houston's defense is about as bad as Orlando's, and Portland suddenly remembered how to score. I'll bet on Soph and Weavs probably until the day I die. #BAONPDX

Big day of footy of the PTFCs with some huge playoff stakes:

Thorns could finally put get some daylight to the pack and take a step toward top 4... or be sucked further into the mire. #BAONPDX

Timbers could inch closer to a postseason berth... or fall out of the playoff spots entirely. #RCTID

Three out for Portland’s final five games are at home, and all but one of their final five are against non-playoff teams. The only constant in the NWSL is chaos, but after the rough summer there is a good chance for Portland to generate some real momentum for the playoffs. #BAONPDX

*Massive* get right game for the Thorns last weekend. Punctuated of course by Morgan Weaver re-announcing herself in spectacular fashion.

Yes it’s and Orlando team who just fired their coach, but if Portland’s offense can be *this* down the stretch… watch out, everyone else. #BAONPDX

Wow the Timbers really pooped their pants big time last night, huh.

Brutal loss that we might look back on when Portland finishes 1-2 spots lower in the standings than we anticipated. #RCTID

Moods for Timbers vs Atlanta tonight, in emoji form:

Marti Cifuentes: 😤
Kristoffer Velde: 😡 (his default)
Ronald Hernandez: 😈
Timbers Army: 🫡
The Away Team locker room at Providence Park: 😧😧😧 (iykyk) #RCTID

One GOAT - and Lionel Messi. #RCTID
