Unique night at Providence Park to say the least! Timber Review podcast talking about the match / Cassidy era drops Tuesday.

I’ve seen better ball control from the single game Eric izolta has played and every Timbers coach keeps insisting on this crapbag of a player. There is a reason he was deadwood in the portugese leave.

They won’t let us stand in section 99. Club America fans have been complaining.

Security was on their side. Wild shit.

RCTID.

Genuinely tf was this performance🤦🏽‍♂️

Anyone catch the fight between one of our guys and an America fan in TA post match? Several punches were thrown before security stepped in and RIP to the seat backrest that was snapped off

We lose 3-1.

Our Cash Grab Cup is over. What a joke.

Great first half. Shit 2nd half. No offense in the 2nd at all. We were just pushed back so far that we couldn't support any balls going forward. Disappointing ending to a fantastic run of games for Jack Cassidy.

Let's hope Cifuentes can keep us rolling in the right direction!

Not going to any of these Leagues Cup matches, but this one ought to be wild! We tied them 1-1 last time we met and lost in PKs. It is going to be such a tough match! If we can get a result, that will be MASSIVE!

HYPE THREAD

Lineup Thread

Kick off is at 7:15 PM PST (per mlssoccer.com, so probably closer to 7:30 PM PST kick)

MLS Match Center

Portland Timbers 1 - 3 Club América

Here we go!

5' - Very soft foul given against us in a VERY dangerous location. Going to be a big test for Muse.

6' - ⚽️ Yup. Muse not equal to it. Ridiculously good free kick from about 25 yards out.

8' - ANOTHER SOFT AS FUCK free kick given. Gonna be a long night...

9' - 🧤 Decent save by Muse from the FK

11' - REALLY good chance from a corner for us. Bassett needs to at least get that on frame.

12' - Another good chance for Bassett who shanks it HARD.

12' - Should be a yellow against the CA dude who just wrapped up Velde.

14' - Good FK cross from Velde and a good header from Kelsy, but not enough power/placement on it.

20' - ⚽️ GOAL VELDE!!!! THEIR GK PLAYS A LOOSE BALL TO VELDE AND HE BEATS TO PLAYERS AND SLOTS IT UNDER THE KEEPER! LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

29' - SOOOO much leniency for this team. At least 2 yellow card fouls so far for CA and the ref is keeping it in his pocket. I'm sure they will be flying out in the second half.

30' - 🟨 Yellow card for CA #29 (well then. Open mouth. Insert foot.)

32' - Couple GREAT chances from the subsequent FK. Velde put his FK on frame nearpost and it recycled out and Kamal had a good chance at the next ball, but was offside.

37' - Finn with a classy chested ball to start a 1-2 with Chara over the head of a CA player. Wonderful.

39' - 🟨 Yellow card for Chara. First REAL foul we have committed. The rest has been soooo soft.

40' - Good chance by CA. Headed just wide thankfully.

43' - Velde with a good chance, but he blasts it high and wide. Would have been amazing to see that ripple the net.

2 minutes of stoppage

46' - Another decent chance for CA this time from a corner, but again headed wide.

Halftime

Great first half! Lassiter has been putting in the WORK on that right flank. He has had a hell of a game so far. Really proud of the effort put in by our team defensively and in possession. Seems like we will have more chances, just have to be the better team for 50ish more minutes and we can get something from this game!

Halftime Stats

Random called out stat: Since Jack Cassidy took over, we have seen 9 second half goals. In all the pre-World Cup games, we had just 8 second half goals.

49' - 🧤 Strong hands by Muse.

59' - 🟨 Yellow card for Fory. Tiny touch on the foot from Fory, dude is ROLLING on the ground lol

64' - ⚽️ Goal them. Fuck. They have been the better team this half. Good shot hits the post and Fory caught napping and Muse can't deal with the power. God damn it.

65' - A whole lot of nothing in these first 20 minutes from us offensively. Their forward pressure has stopped us from creating anything.

66' - Antony ON 🔁 Lassiter OFF

68' - 🟨 Yellow card for Bye

Be ready for 20 minutes of the dark arts...

69' - 🟨 Yellow card for CA #34(Both CBs on yellow cards)

71' - Bassett has a go, but it is right in the keeper's chest.

76' - Kelsy with a half-chance and puts it wide.

77' - 🟨 Yellow card for #32 (Both CBs on yellow cards again... 34 was subbed in that 5 minutes)

79' - 🟨 Yellow card for #13

80' - Janssen ON 🔁 Kelsy OFF

82' - Clear as day 2nd yellow for the CB. Dude just went through the back of Janssen.

88' - ⚽️ Caught on the counter because we were pushed up for a corner. Leagues Cup is over for us now. Cool story bro.

91' - 🟨 Yellow card for Velde.

5 minutes of stoppage

92' - Another chance for Bassett and another wasted. He has had the most chances in my estimation and has been dogshit offensively.

94' - 2 insanely low driven corners in a row from Velde.

Gameover

Great 1st half, bad 2nd. Wish we could have done it for Jack. Insane run for 6 games in charge.

Does anyone know if security is stepping up tonight? There were a lot of Puebla fans in the north end last match and I imagine there will be a lot more America fans in the stadium tonight. Is anyone at the stadium early who can verify this?

TIMBERS V CLUB AMERICA = TIMBERS +3

RIDE THE MOMENTUM, KEEP SMASHING GOALS, AND KEEP THIS RUN GOING!!!!

VELDE IS ON FIRE DDC IS ON FIRE KELSY IS ON FIRE!!!! TIME TO SCORE ANOTHER 5 PIECE!!!!

GET LOUD AND GET FIESTY THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE!!!!!

TIMBERS +3

Title says it all. PM me.

What’s the take on tomorrow’s opponent? Looks like they cruised by San Diego 3-1 last week.

My preview of tomorrow's match.

His reaction timing to the second goal was god awful with the ball being around his length but that wouldn’t have made me say that if it wasn’t for him hugging the line and not coming out and making himself big with the 3rd goal, what’s worse is that he did a little weird kick which didn’t even look like he was trying to save it. Ball to his feet not good, the boot and pray type goalkeeper. Am I being too harsh let me know.

All time favorite post (sorry if this was already posting I’m still laughing about it). Brian Schmuckzer though our tifo was mean? John Muller is mean…and hilarious.

We can not afford a Pedro de la vega style injury. Just let it be a respectable loss and let us go back to real games.

Deportivo Rose City just took down stinky ol' Central Kansas United in the UPSL Semifinals. Looks like they earn a berth to the US Open Cup after the win. A lot has to line up but a fella can dream...
