Last one:
Legit playoffs feels good!
Even as it seems more unlikely with each passing game, the Timbers *can* get a result in San Diego - something they know because they already have, no matter how dull - and that’s all they need to do.
One game at a time, people! #PORvRSL #rctid
Even if one accepts Portland played the (marginally?) better game, nothing about tonight’s win pointed to a method beyond a minor miracle - e.g., Felipe Mora scoring two goals in one game, after not scoring any over 23 games. Or 32. Can’t remember which. Portland got lucky that way. #rctid #PORvRSL
SUMMING IT ALL UP:
Glad I didn’t need to write that obituary!
I have no buts to add.
The only thing a team needs to do in the playoffs is win a sufficient number of games to keep advancing.
Box checked, and bring on San Diego.
Some thoughts not covered in the thread. #PORvRSL #rctid
All season it's felt like Phil Neville and Portland have no idea who their number one keeper is.
James Pantemis had quite the fantastic game tonight in their playoff win vs RSL. Hard to see him not cementing that spot now and Crepeau moving on.
#PORvRSL
THE PROPHECY!!
Timbers go up 3-1 on a free-and-easy backpost header from…Kamal Miller!
Hoo-HAH!
Appreciate the patience on the play as much as anything.
See it out, you sweaty bastards! #PORvRSL #rctid
Lmao that disallowed RSL goal is pure comedy, something that looks picture perfect until you notice that it's enabled by a blatant foul off the ball #PORvRSL
Within a crossbar of going into the history books as the object of another team’s greatest moments. Again, JFC. #PORvRSL
Field looks like a fucking postage stamp when Portland’s in possession. #PORvRSL
More goddamn nerves. Need to get some midfield defending in front of that defense, even when the ball goes wide. Also, Christ. #PORvRSL
I appreciate it when David Da Costa reminds me that he exists, and I don’t mean that sarcastically. #rctid
And that was heroic defending at the back post by Surman. #PORvRSL
Hello, nerves! #PORvRSL
Chinese wealth icon?
AT THE HALF:
Felt like a decent half, with the Timbers more in control and comfort than not, but Glad’s late swing at the jaw reminds of how fragile all that work can be.
Thrilled for Mora, so here’s to hoping the team pulls it it together and sees it out.
Another half to go… #PORvRSL #rctid
Well. Shit.
Also, how does Ayala wind up marking Glad in the area?
Nothing to do but get it back.
2-1 Timbers, a little less ledge to stand on. #PORvRSL
Starting to feel like there’s something in the water tonight. Velde’s hitting an early cross instead of trying to dribble the defense, Mora’s scoring (woooo!), vibes/omens good. #rctid #PORvRSL
Antony’s feet look misshapen tonight. #PORvRSL
That is fucking AWESOME!!!
MORA ENDS HIS DROUGHT!
Two great shots, buried the second.
And set pieces have looked good lately.
Timbers 1-0. Baby. #PORvRSL #rctid
RSL looked a little spazzy over the 60 (or so) minutes of their game last week at St. Louis. Same vibes.
It wasn’t a total failure (2-2 draw), but it murdered any attempt at rhythm. #PORvRSL
Has to be Ayala, right? Is the plan to push him high(er) and have Chara shield the back four? (And lead; like giving him the armband.) #PORvRSL
Would like to feel better about this lineup. Feels like prioritizing late energy over late savvy, but one can make a case on either direction.
Lessgo.
Why is Kevin Egan telling me to gamble?
Wait. Guido Gonzalez, Jr.? Shit. #PORvRSL #rctid
Ekeko from a tourist joint.
If this game goes South, this thread might get wordy and morph into an obituary.
RSL has sucked on the road, but I’m worried about RSL’s “big name” attackers: Olatunji, Luna, and Gozo.
Approaching this as “happy to be here, one game at a time,” and so on.
Entertainment, plz. #PORvRSL #rctid
