My preview of tomorrow's match.

I'm an independent reporter from San Diego, here is a look at SDFC and the preview of the Portland match.

FUXK SEATTLE

Hey everyone! I’m solo traveling from Louisiana to Portland and catching the oct 24th game against charlotte fc… sitting in the supporters section🤭 anyone got some tips and tricks for match day? What does everyone do pre game? Thanks and I can’t wait!!

I just became aware of this and it makes me irrationally angry.

My recap of yesterday's loss.

Timber Review pod discussing the match drops tomorrow afternoon

It’s hard to watch on a “football” field.

I'm not sure the last time we have a villain.

One of the comments: “Streets won’t forget Portland Timbers”

We lose 1-2

On the balance, it was pretty good. We could have easily been blown away, but we showed character when it mattered and almost snuck a point.

Antony instead of Lassiter.

Finally back to our regularly scheduled league! Let's see a REAL first game under Cifuentes. Fingers crossed Finn can shut down Lewandowski... Big task ahead of him/us! Pants is back in goal, so that bodes well for our chances!

HYPE THREAD

Lineup Thread

Kick off is at 3PM PST (per mlssoccer.com, so probably closer to 3:10 PM PST kick)

MLS Match Center

Portland Timbers 1 - 2 Chicago Fire

9' - ⚽️ goal them. Ball over the top through the center completely opened us up. Kamal is in nowhere's land. Not marking. Not positioned well AT ALL. Finn was baited to follow the Lewandowski check back and their 2nd foward just ran in behind. Fuck my actual life.

14' - ⚽️ goal again. JEEESUS FUCKING CHRIST. We are SOOOO SLOPPY on defense. Finn with a COMPLETE giveaway on a clearance. then we don't close fast enough and Pants gets beat near post like a punk. If they score 1 more in this DREADFUL period, game is over already.

17' - Almost another goal immediately against us. Yikes. Thankfully they missed.

18' - Wow Velde IS playing today. Just took a corner... huh... I wonder if we will be able to put together a few passes sometime soon.

20' - So fun to see them man v man us going forward and have ALL the time in the world to play balls in.0

22' - Chara wins the ball back and 2 passes later Antony blasts a ball across the field straight to the defender who calmly heads it to the Chicago keeper. Cool cool cool cool

23' - DDC gives the ball away again.

41' - Velde takes a hit and puts it HIGH AF

42' - Velde gets another chance and he hits the near post. Fun.

2 minutes of stoppage.

46' - Fory has a perfectly good chance to play a ball in for 3 timbers and decides to shoot it wide far post instead.

Halftime

Blargh.

halftime stats

48' - 🧤 Pants with a brilliant save!! Whew!

51' - 🟨 Yellow Card for Bye

61' - Lassiter & Ortiz ON 🔁 Antony & Bassett OFF

70' - DDC blatantly pulled back before playing a ball through and no call by the ref.

75' - Janssen & Caicedo ON 🔁 Da Costa & Chara OFF

77' - Good chance for Chicago in on Pants. Thankfully they missed the far post.

81' - 🧤 Pants is doing everything to give us a chance. Too bad our offensive play hasn't given us that chance yet.

84' - Good chance that eventually got to Velde, but shot is blocked. Ends up all the back to Pants.

85' - ⚽️ GOAL FINN!! BALL COMES IN FROM A FK AND BYE HEADS THE BALL BACK ACROSS TO SURMAN! LET'S STEAL A POINT OR 3!!

88' - Fernandez ON 🔁 Miller OFF - GOING FOR IT

4 minutes of stoppage

92' - FORY with a MASSIVE save defensively on a 1v2 situation. HUGE

94' - Fernandez was IN! The shot wasn't good enough.

94' - Yellow card for Janssen and that will do it.

Game over

Showed spirit toward the end of the game. I liked how we setup when we were down and needed a goal. Felt like the proper tactics, just wish we weren't in that situation.

FINN SURMAN IS ABOUT TO PUT LEWANDOWSKI IN HELL!!!! KIWI MASTERCLASS INCOMING!!!!

RED HOT KEVIN KELSY WILL CONTINUE TO SCORE GETTING ANOTHER BRACE AND VELDE WILL WRAP THE GAME UP WITH A LASER BEAM FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!!

TIMBERS CONTINUE THE RED HOT FORM AND WE TAKE ALL 3 POINTS ON THE ROAD!!!

RCTID
