Shot of Pickford and Tarkowski on the floor was a *chef’s kiss*

What an awful game of footy

The Timbers hand LAFC their first loss in 2026, give Providence Park something to cheer about

I'm really bad about plugging my own podcast on social media (anxiety is fun!), but I do really want to plug this latest Stumptown Radio ep I did with @alex-barnes.bsky.social and @luukasojala.bsky.social. Some really good chat about the feelings surrounding Portland's big win. #RCTID

Really happy for Brandon Bye to get his first assist for the Timbers yesterday. He’s been a consistent threat going forward this year and could very easily have a few more assists. Did a solid job defending Bouanga in stretches as well. Good addition this offseason. #RCTID

This is a weird Victory Sunday take to have to say, but apparently it needs to be said: the Timbers winning a soccer game is a good thing, actually! It’s okay to be happy about a good thing happening! #RCTID

My post doesn’t refute anything you said there.

👍

Bonetig/Surman starting to look like a good partnership at the back, you point out how great Caicedo/Bassett/DDC look as a trio, Velde has 3 goals in four games, home win against a rotated, but still quality squad.

World is doom-and-gloom enough these days, today wasn’t for the Timbers.

I’m not over the moon with how they played! But the whinging at every twist and turn is exhausting. If I asked anyone yesterday if they’d take a 2-1 win against LAFC, 100% of people with a brain would have said yes. I couldn’t imagine openly rooting for my team to lose. Might as well not watch.

Kevin Kelsy, Joao Ortiz, Jimer Fory, Antony, Kamal Miller get bashed on a near-weekly basis no matter how they play.

But I’m more referring to the “I wish the LAFC goal hadn’t been disallowed and the Timbers lost so XYZ would be fired” crowd. That shit is embarrassing to me.

Much prefer this one from @kelseybaker.bsky.social

However you feel about the Coach, GM, or owner, don’t discredit the players’ efforts in today’s win. It’s been a hellish start for everyone this year, and those guys haven’t quit. They haven’t quit on each other, the coaching staff, or the supporters. Don’t quit on them. #RCTID

“Caicedo was a DAWG today,” says Kristoffer Velde #RCTID

Genuinely couldn’t care less if you want to be positive or negative. Live your life that way if you’d like!

Aravena just lost the Timbers the game with that pass. #RCTID

Joe Dickerson that’s an embarrassment

Joke of a call

I need everyone to say “I’m sorry” to Joao Ortiz. Played out of his skull tonight after an incredible display vs the Galaxy. #RCTID

JOSE CAICEDO CLOSES SHOTS FROM DISTANCE DOWN!!! #RCTID

I swear if they give that as a penalty just disband the league. #RCTID

THEY SCORED TWICE AFTER THEY STOPPED DOING THIS. #RCTID

If Pants just started kicking the ball out of play every time it came to him, that would be more beneficial to the Timbers than trying to pass it to a teammate. #RCTID

WHAT A WALLOP JUAN!!!!! #RCTID

STOP. PLAYING. OUT. FROM. THE. BACK. Good LORD. #RCTID

So needless from Pantemis. What on earth is the thought process?

The complete lack of cohesion, togetherness, and competency on-display from the USMNT is perhaps only rivaled by our elected government officials.

I disagree that it was a dumb or unnecessary tackle as well. He’s the last man back and he’s trying to win the ball, gets really unlucky with where his foot lands imo.

It really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but it’s hilarious to me that some of the people who were hammering Fory for his red card think the Kamal red yesterday was harsh. #RCTID

"ICE OUT" banners seen in the Timbers Army during the National Anthem. #RCTID

Man, I don’t think there’s a picture that better encapsulates the mood of absolute frustration surrounding the Timbers right now…

@kelseybaker.bsky.social incredible as always. #RCTID
