I don’t know what happened here, so I’m not blaming anyone, but just a friendly reminder everyone that the Bob Stacey Crossing will get you safely over the tracks in the area if you are on foot or bike or scooter. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

The standard is pretty clearly laid out for all to see. The five members of the Disciplinary Committee all agreed that this was a missed red card AND PRO agreed with their ruling. Not even the first time this has happened this season, much less past ones.

Kristoffer Velde is hotheaded, crass and unafraid to mix things up on the pitch. With the Timbers heading back to San Diego with their season on the line, he has proven to be exactly what they need. On Portland's most volatile, villainous and, yes, valuable player: www.oregonlive.com/sports/2025/...

Lots of good details and texture on the MLS Apple deal www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

“But in the bawdy, rowdy world of high-stakes soccer, it is just part of the alchemy that has made Velde the Timbers’ most volatile, villainous and valuable weapon.” Love a good @billoram.bsky.social Timbers column #RCTID www.oregonlive.com/sports/2025/...

🤣 "I think players like Messi are helping the kids, not only when the kids want to play basketball or American football or baseball, they now want to play also soccer," added Pochettino, who stressed his employers have told him to use the term soccer rather than football to avoid public confusion.

Sorensen was robbed

“This was one of the earliest examples of police forces adopting a style known as “dialogue policing” that treats crowds as a collection of logical individuals rather than an irrational mob, helping police to engage with fans and facilitate positive behavior.”

this is genuinely wild

Olivia Moultrie on 'bunch' of clubs expressing interest & why she ultimately chose to stay with Portland Thorns #BAONPDX "A bunch of places were options." "What better situation could I find myself with my family, city, Riveters, Providence park, club... That's the dream come true."

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Kristoffer Velde is the spark plug and presence the Timbers absolutely needed. 🇳🇴 "He's been a total revelation for this club and fanbase... He is Sebastian Blanco-esc." #RCTID Full Gm2 Review 👉 fanlink.tv/wNNV

Training notes: -Diego Chara is 29, not 39 -Multiple arguments about whether or not a ball was out of bounds in soccer tennis -Full participation from every player -Standout performer: Ariel Lassiter #RCTID

BREAKING: Olivia Moultrie signs three-year contract extension through 2029 with the Portland Thorns #BAONPDX #USWNT "This city means so much to me. I love playing here more than anything." “Portland isn’t just where I play, it’s home." stumptown-footy.ghost.io/breaking-oli...

This isn't MLS after dark this is MLS in the pitch black

And here we are, after the Sounders go up 3-0, Minnesota makes it 3-2, and just needs to knick a set piece and go to penalties

"Seattle Sounders just about edging. At one point, they looked beyond comfort." MLS After Dark inspires some truly poetic commentary.

Time for Minnesota to beat Seattle with a set piece goal and some terrorism

Love for love 🤝 Kristoffer Velde and David Da Costa showing out Moda Center tonight to support the @trailblazers.bsky.social 💚🤞

This might be my favorite play from this weekend. SD complaining about 10 yards, with Velde saying, "It doesn't matter, you're gonna go backwards anyways." SD tries to play around with it, Velde steals it, and immediately nutmegs Lozano. Within a few passes, the ball is in SD penalty area. #rctid

I was looking up a case almost no one paid attention to this summer, and I encountered this heck of a footnote from Ketanji Brown Jackson aimed at the six conservative justices. (Justice Sotomayor, who joined part of her dissent, didn't join the footnote.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Thornies Never Say Die

Realized this morning that I’ve never seen Timbers Gage Guerra and…(1/3)

You should always read Jeremy, but especially this one. Curious why the Timbers looked different off the ball last night? Curious what they could have practiced on Wednesday to cause so much tension? Well then, read on #RCTID

Absolute CINEMA 🙌

Gage Guerra, on scoring a stoppage time equalizer (again!) to save the Timbers: "Top of the world... Best moment of my life, to be honest." #RCTID

Portland Timbers FC: 2 (1.57 xG) vs San Diego FC: 2 (1.12 xG) #PORvSD | #RCTID | #SanDiegoFC | #MLS | 🤖⚽

Timbers score late in stoppage time, then rally during penalty kicks to defeat San Diego to tie their MLS Cup first-round playoff series at 1-1.

Just a couple of totally normal for their sport-sized coaches here at Providence Park with Tiago Splitter and Phil Neville.
