I’d be losing my fucking mind right now if I was a Galaxy fan, and that’s the most positive thing I can think to say. #PORvLAG
Good start to the half (don’t jinx it, don’t jinx it). Portland’s defensive shape looks sturdier. Better, the Galaxy haven’t had the upper hand since the 40th minute. #PORvLAG
AT THE HALF:
Coulda been worse by the end, but it also could have been better at the beginning of the half.
That was probably the best 15 minutes of 2026.
Feels like we had something good taken away with that red card, no matter how justified.
I could feel worse about the rest. #PORvLAG #rctid
We’re in “just survive this shit” for the half, hoping it doesn’t carry over the rest of the game. #PORvLAG
I don’t know what “trying to play normal” means, but that’s the dreaded fuck-up/soft-goal combo. Klauss pulls LA level and it has been chaos and bad energy since the red card….
…and the dishwasher’s leaking. Fuck. #PORvLAG #rctid
How do I feel about that red?
Is clumsiness a defense for a red card offense?
Don’t think the intent was there, but I saw the red coming after the first replay.
Not loving Bonetig for Kelsy. Seems early. #PORvLAG
You gotta be fucking kidding me, soccer gods…
The lows, the highs, a kick in the balls not one of us saw coming. Kamal Miller’s off with a red.
Who walked under the ladder this morning. Fuck bucket. #PORvLAG #rctid
Holy shit! Velde scored a goal! With time to think about what he’s doing! And the Timbers set it up with…comb…combinet…no, I’ll get it. They set it up with combin…ation play!
Sorry! It’s hard learning new words.
Anyhoo, 1-0 Timbers and with a breeze at their backs! #PORvLAG #rctid
Really nice play up the right. The backheel to Chara left him so much time (and great run forward by Chara), got in a great cross, then it hit Antony’s…nose.
Run it again, boys, this time with a happy ending! #PORvLAG
small baby with hair extensions and a dope cap.
Shit! So busy getting the lineups on paper that I forgot to queue up the game thread.
Go, fight, win, start every day with a good nutritious breakfast, and end it with a highball, etc.
My girl is back on the job... #PORvLAG #rctid

Want to know one name that never came up in the entire post:
Riqui Puig
Portland's defense was far from perfect tonight, and LA got too many chances for my liking, but I still believe that something happened in midfield that subtly tilted the game in the Timbers' favor. #rctid #PORvLAG (2/4)
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we have our free-for-all, wild west shoot-out in an electrified steel cage over a pit of man-eating sharks. For good or ill. #rctid #PORvLAG
The all-business walk-away by Evander was *just* a little bit better than Mora bodying his mark into the dirt.
3-1 Timbers. Glorious… #rctid #PORvLAG
AT THE HALF:
In a word, buzzkill.
Was ready to hype that half to the heavens, then the Galaxy did whay they’ve done so much this season: work the D.
My advice for the second half: keep it up. Just less ball-watching, please! #PORvLAG #rctid
Uhhh…that’s gotta be a card on Yoshida. Saw the ball poked away like everyone, but he leaned into that block. #PORvLAG
Evander finally gets a richly deserved finish. A man running riot out there. 2-0 Timbers! Keep it rollin’ rollin’ rollin’! #rctid #PORvLAG
This is so, so far from over. #PORvLAG
Game’s finally getting going! Helluva shot by Evander…
And, HOLY SHIT! What a ball in by Evander! Great run by Jona! GOAL Timbers! 1-0! Yeehaw!
#PORvLAG #rctid
You have to wonder how many lives the Timbers have left.
Here’s to hoping they don’t burn another one tonight.
Celebrations and lamentations to follow, as appropriate.
#PORvLAG #rctid
The Galaxy keeper was grimacing before the contact. To card for that is just stupid. #PORvLAG #RCTID
The LA Galaxy second kit is 🔥 #PORvLAG
