#VWFC | #PORvVAN

This skeet’s an easy winner for my broad thoughts on the game. Didn’t expect much different. Not encouraged, by any means, but also not entirely discouraged. I’ll elaborate Sunday or Monday. Feel free to rage as needed. #PORvVAN #rctid

#LAFCvDAL
🟨DAL - Ramiro (UB) 60'
🟨LAFC - Tyler Boyd (UB) 82'

🟨POR - Kristoffer Velde (UB) 59'
🟨POR - Ian Smith (UB) 67'
🟨VAN - Emmanuel Sabbi (Delaying a Restart) 77'
🟨VAN - Oliver Larraz (Delay) 83'

Timbers fans booing at final whistle. Genuinely don't know if this was for the performance, the manager, the referee, or all of the above!

Meanwhile The Killers are blasting out over the PA.

Destiny may indeed be calling.

#PORvVAN #VWFC #MLS #MrBrightside

Wow. Oh, wow. The broadcast is talking about Vancouver like Portland isn’t still on the field. Cold AF. #PORvVAN

Christ, that fucking hurt.

Was Velde fouled? Probably.

Vancouver’s counter looked like a knife through butter. The killer pass cued the dagger.

Game over, man. Game over.

[Then some spittle, maybe a little tobacco juice. Hold on…it’s still going.] #PORvVAN

Well, I’ll be damned.

Here, I’m writing to rough edit of a burn book Ortiz and what does he do but tee up Izoita for Portland’s first goal. And what a goal. Whoo!

1-3 game and, hey, dumber things have happened.

Like what Laborda just did. #PORvVAN #rctid

Well, I jinxed it but that’s the first goal #VWFC has allowed since December 2025.

#PORvVAN

I hope we score 4 goals tonight so @couchultras.bsky.social can add to this

70’ #VWFC currently up 3-0 over Portland

#PORvVAN

The kid, Izoita, did so well to get in a good position, only to have AZ paddle him into the pros.

Berhalter comes from the deep, passes home a third for Vancouver.

Cue Bill Paxton.

3-0 to Vancouver. Hope. Fading…. #PORvVAN

Ocampo is made for these derbies! Knows how to get under opponents' skin, both on and off the pitch! 😆

#PORvVAN #VWFC

Sabbi. Not good. #PORvVAN

Huh. Whoever keeps losing Tristan Blackmon over and over has lost me.

Think it rhymes with “pith,” but I’ll review.

Timbers down 0-2 off a set-piece they’ve seen at least five times tonight.

That’s bad.

Oh, look, so’s that! #PORvVAN #rctid

Another set piece goal. That must have hurt Blackmon but he won't care! 2-0 'Caps.

#PORvVAN #VWFC

They had a dog race at half time of #PORvVAN.

Much like the Timbers, some dogs knew their roles but most seemed lost out there and didn't know what they were meant to be doing!

3/3 More #PORvVAN HT thoughts:

- Müller has been kept relatively quiet
- Jeevan took a little bit to get into the game, but thriving now and linking up well with Ocampo
- Velde and Kelsy looked so dangerous early for Portland but fell away
- #VWFC bench looks like adding goals

AT THE HALF:

Not much doubt as to which is the better team, but Portland’s in this one. Another Vancouver goal, they’re fucked, but in it.

The odds aren’t stellar (or even good), Vancouver’s defendinf well, Portland’s not pushing so hard, but my money’s down. #PORvVAN #rctid

#MLSRefStats Half-Time Misconduct Roundup

#LAFCvDAL
🟨LAFC - Son Heung-min (Unsporting Behavior) 10'
🟨DAL - Shaq Moore (UB) 45'

#PORvVAN
🟨POR - Kevin Kelsey (UB) 7'
🟨VAN - Édier Ocampo (UB) 17'

2/ More #PORvVAN HT thoughts:

- Tate has been excellent again at LB. That sliding tackle to break up an attack was first class
- You got to love a streaky White! Two in two. let's go.
- So much of the Whitecaps build up goes through Takaoka. He's a brilliant sweeper keeper

1/ Some #PORvVAN half time thoughts:

- both teams wanting to press aggressively but that Whitecaps goal seem to rattle the Timbers and they backed off
- Neville spoke about pressuring #VWFC CBs, which they did early
- pitch seems a little off with players slipping and ball holding up on some passes

31'

I have...concerns
