Yes, but I'd also contend that spending years yelling "Porter out" and insisting that his team is bad when, in fact, all the moves were correct and his coaching was actually good entitles people to give him endless poo poo

Like, at least admit you were wrong and possibly full of poo poo
Let us bow to the dude who finished 4th or 5th and won an asinine knockout format postseason. get this guy in the soccer hall of fame asap. I'll be bouncing my grandkids on my knee telling them of the time when i looked at espnfc.com on my phone after a seahawks game and saw Portland Timbers won the title. They'll be celebrating in Tualatin trailer parks tonight.

you're drat fuckin right

I have no thoughts on the game. I think I could tell you more about the possession and strategy of liverpool game this morning that I barely watched than I could about this one that I was glued to - the entire second half was nerve-wracking as a Timbers fan and was the most intense scoreless half I think I've ever watched on TV, and it felt like it was super open with lots of opportunities on both ends, but then I saw after the game I guess the Crew only had one shot on goal? I feel like that can't be right, but I also don't recall Kwarasey being tested either, just a ton of stuff like that last ball in that was overhit but if it were a touch lighter would have been really dangerous. Clark also saving that Borchers header - I think the entire bar thought it was in.

also all the teams I follow and support never win poo poo so uhh being from Portland:

I look forward to next year when everyone except Colorado and NYCFC get playoff spots. Also, an all star game where 30 players have to miss the game immediately afterwards.

It's the same supporters group/internet troll/joey log or whatever drama that your poo poo team insists on discussing instead of anything else, including the actual game

You literally just won the MLS cup and instead of talking about what happened in the match you're gloating about owning some internet guy. What is wrong with you.

There has been some dumb posting in the past 2 weeks from Portland people, I'll give you that. But you have been as bad and your team barely made the playoffs. gently caress you, go buy more players so you can lose to Montreal again. Honestly, you don't deserve Giovinco.

Yes, the PNW is very midwestern in this sense. The nice thing about moving east was that people will actually tell others to shut the hell up in theaters, instead of sighing and glaring impotently or whatever.

Anyway, congrats Portland, I loathe your coach, owner, and most of your fans, but what I think doesn't matter because you're the champs.

MLS playoffs are a joke they might as well just let every team in and then we can determine who's able to luck into 3 wins as the best team. Maybe the game getting a 0.2 rating will help to do away with this tripe

I do wonder if someday we'll move more toward the Shield as the top trophy and look back on playoff championships in the same way that we look back on titles from the 12 team no-tie era. I know a United fan who loves lording those over other people, and I don't have the heart to tell him how little I give a poo poo.

Hopefully they just fix the scheduling and make the shield the top prize. It would be a better indicator of season long form than the current playoff system
