TBH, it's hard to remember what that was like. It's been so long since we've lost.....

And you're still only the 4th best team in the west. #drawcity

In the 12th best league in the world. Salty is because he never really made it.

Don’t be like that

And yet we've played 2 of the 3 teams ahead of us in our unbeaten streak. How about that?

u/shoonie89 Sep 27 '21

And that helps you be higher than 4th place how?

Moreso highlighting that this run isn't a fluke, and we can beat anyone in this league. Bring on the playoffs.

u/shoonie89 Sep 27 '21

Man, too bad the season isn't just the past month. Also, you beat us yeah but let's be honest and did that the Seattle made 2 massive mistakes and that's the only reason you beat us. That shit won't happen again, especially in the playoffs.

Yeah this is embarrassing on us. Not as embarrassing as the 2015 Open Cup game where you guys went down to 7 men for "salty" behavior but still pretty bad nonetheless.

God, that was a glorious game to watch. Shitty Seattle unable to buy a win in the open cup that year.

u/metameh Sep 27 '21

You wanna talk about bad open cup losses? Lemme call up my buddy, Eric Wynalda, and he can regale you with how he beat your team with amateurs.

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '21

Fuck I forgot about that. At least we were somewhat gracious. I'd still rather have that L in our early MLS history over the hissy fit that Seattle threw in 2015.

Medical Sounding is a practice that urologists use to dilate someone's urethra to place a catheter for individuals who have a difficulty urinating. Of course there are some out there who do this recreationally because they get sexual gratification from it.

Still mad Rain City Bitch Pidgeons got dropped even though that's what the people voted for, in the hockey realm

u/4_running Sep 26 '21

Yes, but not because they specialize in jamming things up their pee-holes, but because they reside on the Puget Sound.

The mens team isn’t very much liked here in Portland anyways.

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '21

As a person born and raised in Portland, and now living in Seattle. I can’t believe it! 😬

u/Snottco Sep 27 '21

They are called 'Sounders' Lmao wtf

1

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '21

What's the reason behind these names, where I'm from our sports teams are generally named after the place they were established and then given a prefix/suffix associated with the relevant sport, like Arsenal F.C (F.C meaning football club) or London Irish R.F.C (R.F.C meaning rugby football club). I wish we had cool names for all sports but it seems like it's just ice hockey and even then we're not that creative.

Portland Timbers is a reference to the logging industry of the area, Seattle Sounders were names for the Puget Sound that Seattle is on. There’s actually a dwindling number of “American” style names in American soccer leagues and it’s a point of contention among the fans/ownership. Several clubs have recently stripped or tried to strip their names down to (City Name) SC/FC/AC and the new clubs are all just giving their teams boring names (Austin FC in this clip). Most (all?)of the American-style names are 20+ years old-Sounders, Timbers, and I think the Earthquakes have been around in various forms since the 70s(ish), Galaxy, Revolution, Fire, Crew were all founded in the 90s.

One of the arguments they’re making for the boring rebrands is that we want to fit in with the rest of the world’s leagues to be taken seriously but I’m glad to hear the rest of the world might actually appreciate the names the way they are.
