They were probably yelling "Puto!" on when the opposing keeper were taking goal kicks.

At some point in the last year I discovered that Facebook Messenger filters out certain messages and found these in the "Filtered" folder. I think he had commented on an article a friend had shared and I felt like loving with him in the comments. I'm a little upset he correctly spells "foreign" now instead of "foregin" like in the past.

Reposting this from the the Oregoons thread because this is loving hysterical. "Conservative sports radio host", Dino Costa, has been in Portland for 2 weeks on the station that is the official Timbers broadcast partner. Since I don't pay gently caress all attention to sports radio, I missed out on some of this dude's greatest hits. Apparently he claimed that Portland was going to adapt to him, not the other way around. Last weekend was the TA pride tifo and apparently it triggered him.

Hey Portland fans, do you remember this guy at all? From what I can see he's a depth player with little time as a professional and not much to show. Classic Rapids signing.

Fochive was relatively solid for a depth midfielder. I don't think anybody here wanted him to go, but he and the team parted ways so he could get playing time.

Valeri's stats are less impressive because the West is an absolute loving dumpster this year.

Agreed, but he's scored in 9 straight while our target striker has been injured, and those games have moved us from the middle of the garbage west to the top.

Also, I will absolutely admit I'm biased as gently caress.

I know there's been some concern about children and heading the ball, and there's been accusations that pro teams haven't handled concussion protocols well, but nothing as systemic as what's going on in other sports.

Went to watch a friend's son's U-11 game a few weeks ago. Any heading of the ball resulted in an indirect free kick. At U-12s they can head the ball. 6-10 years ago when my kids were U-11s, they could head the ball whenever they wanted.

Nobody that I know, seem to know the results of the lawsuit (English) Eddie Johnson filed against the Timbers back in 2012-13ish. Like it was settled quietly and nobody from the FO has let it slip.

MLS adjacent Portland Thorns beat NC Courage for the NWSL championship today 1-0. It wasn't a terribly attractive game unless you like hard challenges & refs who are afraid to card stars early.

It's my biggest problem with refereeing. The idea that a foul isn't a yellow or red in the first minute, but is one in the 70th. It drives me absolutely nuts.

Tobin should have had a yellow in the 2nd minute.

Hey, here's something about this league that's not another loving pro/rel argument: Manchester Yankees probably playing in the Mets' stadium for the playoffs.

One of my biggest fears about the playoffs is that the Cup Final could be held at Yankee stadium. Games there are loving horrid to watch. I doubt Shea (is it still called Shea?) Stadium is much better.

I was at the first "Kansas City Wiz" game in 1996. It was played in a big mudhole half empty NFL stadium and the teams best player was a guy from zimbabwe named digital. also, the team's name was "The Wiz".

One of the women that plays in a different division on our regular futsal night has an old school Wiz jersey she wears all of the time. I love it.

I guess I don't really get why it's so important that "American soccer" becomes some great thing. I don't care much for MLS but it's the league my preferred team plays in.


I don't care if we "develop" USMNT players that can compete with the best "footballing" nations regularly. So I'm completely ok with MLS becoming a league for the Not Quite Good Enough Central & South Americans.

In the USL era the Timbers would have regular "Bark in the Park" nights. It wouldn't be possible to do it for Timbers or Thorns games but there was one night you could bring your dog to a Timbers2 match this year. Attendance was way up that night.
