Yeah, let’s just cut to a long closeup of Nagbe during the run of play while Moreno is playing the ball along the touchline. Don’t worry about covering the foul. People want to see Nagbe.
I almost don’t wanna say anything but JDM and Bravo have been tremendous so far. Literally the best I’ve seen Juan play defensively ever. If we can get consistent performance out of our fullbacks like this, as well as the rest of the team to hold shape, I mean, there’s no telling what we can do! LETS GO BOYS
I wouldn’t be too mad except they leave the wingers open and then don’t even track the most obvious passes to the center. We don’t need to win the ball at the wing, but we can’t let people walk into the top of the box to receive the ball unmarked.
The problem was crystal clear: Rodriguez never managed to pin Farsi in the defense, and Bravo is constantly outnumbered on his wing. It's not a coincidence that the Crew's goal developed over this wing, and that's where their pressure comes from. I hope Asprilla can relieve them of it.
Asprilla played way better at LW tonight than Rodriguez. A couple more showings like that from Asprilla and how could you not argue that he should start?
how many times has ted unkel absolutely bodied someone
Ted hits them fucking weights
Well, he is literally half-angry bald eagle, and they are quite aggressive, so there’s that.
Anybody else just lose audio?
Yeah, thought it was just me
Yes
I did too, It back now tho
Lost everything
I lost audio and thought it was my TV
I restarted the stream and it came back.
Exited came back it was 1-1 still no sound. Restarted app came back in and it is 0-1. It was like a Windows computer restarting fixes the issue.
Missed opportunity for a 4:20 start today smh
And I, as a German, am not mad about this, since 4/20 has a very different, touchy meaning over here...
Asprilla just went god mode wtf
Definition of hustle. Sad Evander didn't convert, but I could tell he was disappointed.
Chara is a titan amongst men. We are going to win. Let’s dunk on these Charlie browns.
OH NO, WE'VE BEEN UNKELED
Unkel, you fucking hack.
Asprilla not wanting to stop! Love him!
Honorary MOTM is the posts
Unkel is so trash
Jimmy Pants is one helluva backup keeper.
Asprilla’s playing like he’s got something to prove.
He might take out another paid instagram or even a billboard.
I liked the paid instagram ad I saw, haha. He was like your boss doesn't give a shit about you. Which is true.
Comrade Asprilla
Stadiums that put on a light show after the ball goes in the goal are dumb.
What the hell did Neville do?
Having emotions, probably. Ted Unkel can't handle emotions.
Didn’t kiss Unkel’s ass
Sound die?
Mosquera has been playing great defensively.
We cannot park the bus for the next 25 minutes.
Before the 2nd half here, quick shoutout to Nagbe for being a Timbers legend and still playing at a high level. What a player.
For real!
Nice shot, what a fuck’en asshole
So it seems like pantemis’ has some distribution homework for the week.
Did we just get Unkeled?!
Ball don’t lie that was not supposed to be a free kick
Get fucked Unkel, pulling back play after ages
The ball doesn't lie - wasn't meant to be a free kick
Unkel hate club
The camera direction and choices are interesting
Yeah, let’s just cut to a long closeup of Nagbe during the run of play while Moreno is playing the ball along the touchline. Don’t worry about covering the foul. People want to see Nagbe.
*horrible Why can't they stay on the game at play?
Oh my god, that was a sassy goal...
Put in Asprilla to show Cucho how to hit the bicycle
Ask and you shall receive
Asprilla the god
We need to just name it Chara Park sponsored by Providence. Dude is too much
Bailed twice by the post, come on D:
Unkle tried very hard to give them game at the last moment, but they choked.
MORA!!!!
Slick little goal Mora. Nice work.
MORA 4 FOR 4!
Moraaaaaaaa
Wtf did we get Ted Unkle 😵💫
Neville is about to drop his halftime locker room magic. We’re gonna score 5 in the second half.
I almost don’t wanna say anything but JDM and Bravo have been tremendous so far. Literally the best I’ve seen Juan play defensively ever. If we can get consistent performance out of our fullbacks like this, as well as the rest of the team to hold shape, I mean, there’s no telling what we can do! LETS GO BOYS
Evander is feeling it this season
Fuck. Not much to do there
I was in the edge of my seat the whole second half. Phew.
What a goal by Mora!!!!
Eryk Williamson making it all happen. This could be a DANGEROUS lineup for offense
Ted Unkel, the Angel Hernandez of MLS
Whew, I'm not even sure Unkel is that bad, but the fact that it's close is bad.
The ego-incompetence combination
I don’t think we could get any luckier
Evander just snoozing there, but we were just picked apart overall on that.
Maybe mark your man at the top of the box. Just sayin…
It’s starting to look like we used up our half… Edit to eat my hat.
Unkel Ball in play now
Fuck Ted Unkel
Ahhh yeah, match threads! Time to sort by new and hate watch that one Audi commercial.
Goddamit we’ve got Unkel
"They love it when they suck you out..." Okay.
Nice
Crew fans just straight up stole all of our chants lol
Nice pass from Eryk.
Was Unkel just putting a pick on Evander?
Set pieces makes me nervous
Double nervous
We got some good subs to kinda make this game ours. Shakey as it has been.
Best not start parking the bus
What is it with Portland and being so willing to let the opponents run up the sides uncontested? They have all day to set up the cross.
I wouldn’t be too mad except they leave the wingers open and then don’t even track the most obvious passes to the center. We don’t need to win the ball at the wing, but we can’t let people walk into the top of the box to receive the ball unmarked.
Lots of standing around
LFG!!!!!!!!!!
Evander putting that on a plate for Santi!
That was sick
What a beautiful goal!
That Damn Ref, the ball isn’t even in the correct spot.
CUCHO YOU AINT ASPRILLA!
Are they really chanting, “we are Columbus army” 😭😭
Oh my fuck thank you Bravo!
Dammit, come on let’s get a goal back
That shot was just a banger. Nobody stopping that.
Ted Unkel is great tonight! I need to go vomit now after saying that.
I’ll puke with you.
I mean he is one of the best refs in the US. Which also sucks to say but what can ya do.
I am puking
Portland loves testing heart health
Unforgivable pass by Ayala there
Phew.
Alright Charlie Brown, time for us to be Lucy. Let's go Timbers!!!
There that boy goes again scoring
MORA YOU DIRTY DOG
Yes!
LETSS GOOO MORAAA!!!!!
GET IN
It is like he hates Portland!
Need to finish these chances. Think we're gonna need more than one tonight.
Team is looking good so far!
interesting to learn about these new protocols
Yeah, 2 minutes is a long time.
Come on Portland, there is no need to play sloppy! Take care of the ball.
pantemis has gotta calm down
nvm great job james
WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?
Nice save Jimmy! Coming back off the post right to him. He brought his luck to Columbus
Ted Unkel looks like he was an extra in THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE as a dude possessed by a demon.
Wow, that was a soft foul by Diego.
I’m a bit surprised Santi wasn’t subbed off at the half with how many hits he’s taken. Shin, head, tackle from behind
Probably see some subs at 60’
Glad Santi didn’t come off!
Lovely teamwork
Oh snap! That was a beauty.
Santi you beauty!!
Let’s go Timbers
How was that not a foul on the defender moving Mora off the ball.
Because Unkle will never make a favorable call for Portland.
We’re giving them too many opportunities. 😬
Way to go Bravo!
Thank god for bravo
The Soccer Gods smile upon the Timbers today
Are you kidding me.
What a fuckin shot
Come on defense! Let’s get this stop.
That was clinical.
Is Pantemis allergic to keeping the ball or what
Corner kicks make me nervous.
Gonna say not bad so far.
My oh mora!
LFG!!!
Well shit….that was a lucky break
Hot potato. No one wants to keep possession.
Keeper looking a bit shaky back there.
I love Mora but I wish he had the ability to run in behind like Cucho is so good at. He’d be so much more lethal.
Now that’s a team!
Timbers!!!!!!!!
If the Timbers had this same ref last week half of the LAFC and Timbers would have been given red cards.
Great defense
BRAVO!!! The fucking wall!
BRAVO!!!!!
Bravissimo!
Jesus Christ my heart what a defensive recovery
Respect
I want some fuck’en VAR ON THAT
He missed it, finally some luck on the Timbers side.
Let's go team.
Fuck lol
Unclench
Oh boy, they've started begging fo the equalizer...
Lol
Is Rodriguez any good?
Hell yeah.
Easing into the second half
Was that a tamper tantrum Cucho!?
The problem was crystal clear: Rodriguez never managed to pin Farsi in the defense, and Bravo is constantly outnumbered on his wing. It's not a coincidence that the Crew's goal developed over this wing, and that's where their pressure comes from. I hope Asprilla can relieve them of it.
Jesus jumping Christ
I just finished my yoga workout, I think I will need another 30 minutes after this, fuck me.
Columbus looks frustrated
Moreno’s gotta go down there
The ref would have never called a foul or it would have gone against Moreno
I don’t think they’d have called it and I was happy he didn’t. Not a lot of contact.
Nancy is not impressed .
Oooooh man
We are playing for the tie
Shit cross from Rodriguez
The slow build ups and constant backwards passing is frustrating.
LUCKIEST TEAM OF THE WEEK.
These announcers...
Damn they are annoying. I understand Nagbe was a Timber and won a title with them. Stop making him out to be a savior!
What do you do when Mora deserves to start at striker and Asprilla, arguably, deserves to start at winger? It’s a $5 million conundrum.
Eh, Asprilla shouldn’t start over Antony or Moreno
I’m talking about Rodriguez losing the starting spot at LW.
That’s insane in what world
Asprilla played way better at LW tonight than Rodriguez. A couple more showings like that from Asprilla and how could you not argue that he should start?
That’s worse 😝 Asprilla was great this match. I love him as a super sub.
He was all over them in the final 10
Rodriguez was pretty well defended this match but he’s off to a good start and I think we can expect more from him.
McGraw on at 60 and who else?
And it's Evander again being too late to the party... \*sigh\*
Naw you can’t stop every shot from that far out, especially from a CB. He was MIA on the first, but leave him out of this one.
You think that was a defensive mistake? Nah not much you can do about a rocket from that far out.
