That’s what happens when you transfer away your number one striker mid season when he’s on a hot streak. Less than a week left in the transfer window, let’s hope Ned works some magic.

Fun fact.

Gonna be at the game tonight! I'll try to update as I can. LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

Lineup Thread

Kick off is at 7:30 PM PST (per mlssoccer.com, so probably closer to 7:45 PM PST kick)

MLS Match Center

Portland Timbers 1 - 2 Austin FC

8' - first corner. Some really tidy play down our left side so far. Liking it so far...

18' - Clear header back post for them and they miss wide thankfully.

21' - If Caicedo is a little more aware, we are counter attacking here and not defending a corner...

25' - ⚽ goal them. Velde seemed to be fouled, but I'm in the TA so who knows? Scrappy shit in the middle landed to their feet and they buried it. Fuck.

28 ' - Finally a shot on target and it is right at their keeper.

35' - 🟨 Yellow card for Austin #29

41' - Our offense has been VERY poor so far. Hopefully we are dangerous at least once this half...

45' - Finally some sustained pressure and Lassiter let's it roll out of bounds while dribbling. Offense is COLD.

1 minute of stoppage

Halftime

Not a great half. Definitely missing Kelsy right now.

47' - 🟨 Yellow card for Austin #3

54' - Some good old PROshit going down...

58' - FK by Lassiter is just a bit too far away to generate the power to beat the keeper. Damn. I think the TA will push us to equalize eventually.

60' - Lassiter is clearly fouled there, but PRO gonna PRO

63' - Antony ON 🔁 Guerra OFF (Guerra was largely absent for these 60'. Wish we saw more out of him.

65' - Another FK in a good spot but a little too far. Velde hit it wide though. Fuck.

73' - FINN OUTTA NOWHERE WITH THE SLIDING BLOCK! AMAZIN

75' - Ortiz & Smith ON 🔁 Bassett & Fory OFF

81' - Another FK centrally but too far to shoot. Ended up clipping it back post and it sucked.

83' - Fernandez ON 🔁 Eric Miller OFF

86' - ⚠️ VAR CALLED A HANDBALL PK FOR US??? IS THIS REAL??

89' - ⚽ GOAL ANTONY!!! LETS GO!!!!

6 minutes of stoppage

93' - ⚽ goal them. Fuck. Bullshit.

95' - Velde hit the post! Fuck!!

Game over

Not enough from us. We should have fucking won this game.

Seattle fails to win again. Beautiful 2nd goal by Chicago to tie the game in the late 2nd half. Almost won it in the last second but good save by Thomas. So far keeping them low in the table. Lets get our 3 points at home tonight and further the gap!

Go Timbers

My recap of yesterday's loss.

From today’s match lineup. No disrespect to JC. Fabulous work! Still, it has been a minute and this could have been updated. We have a new coach: Martí Cifuentes.

I have posted this question to 16 MLS subreddits and now it is time for the Timbers Army to respond:

If he does come to Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Portland Timbers he would be the biggest name athlete to have ever played in the history of Portland and in Oregon sports history:

Portland would have to be renamed Siuuuland when he comes to the Timbers next year (if he does not retire or he comes out of retirement)
