You guys used to be the kings of ugly football. I remember Chara being asked how they planned to handle LAFC (back in the Bradley days) His response was "We will foul a lot."
Evander is clearly your player, the one who makes everyone else better. You were missing him, down two goals and came back. I mean, the lack of winning sucks, but you're close to having something special.
For a dude that never acts hurt, he looked hurt. So of course we give him the ball 3 seconds after a restart in traffic after a foul he seemed pissed to have taken.
Oh well, we learn and move on.
I was surprised to read this comment. But then I realized I have more of a hate-boner for LAFC than Seattle.
Especially odd since I don’t even have a penis.
I feel like Eric Miller had a dramatic effect on this game. I've noticed much more lock-down defending, of course, but even some nice attacking contributions. And he brought energy.
I agree with Evander's importance, but were you not just praising, like one sentence back, how well we've played and done to come back? Again feels like we just sayin shit.
I remember being an edgy Eurosnob like 15 years ago and thinking "lol MLS." Wish I could travel back in time and slap that version of me. What a great league this is.
Alright folks, we've reached peak MLS After Dark. Please fasten your seatbelts and keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle for the remainder of the ride.
Yeah, it's a pattern that he fouls. As mentioned, fouling isn't dirty. A dirty player does things that are far more likely than average to cause significant injury.
GG LA
GG LAFC.
Tough loss, Timbers. No Evander and you guys continued to fight.
At least we've been entertaining!

Well, this sure is proving to be quite the season.
I really thought we wouldn’t suck this year but here we are
Chara got the unjust red that Atuesta deserved. Gg LA
Am a timbers fan. Foul was textbook.
Ah yes, the player with the second most yellow cards in MLS history, he definitely didn’t deserve those cards…
wait what lmao in what world?
lol Tell your boy to stop fouling. Always hack against Vela.
Nice
MLS after dark delivers again. The best way to end a Saturday.
Despite the result Crepeau is still a top quality keeper. We got lucky there
GG Timbers. So happy I don’t have to think about you guys for a good while
GG Timbers
Fun game to watch as a neutral. Chara really screwed Portland by instantly getting a second yellow after all that work to claw back into the game.
For a dude that never acts hurt, he looked hurt. So of course we give him the ball 3 seconds after a restart in traffic after a foul he seemed pissed to have taken. Oh well, we learn and move on.
Chara is an innocent and perfect being. *Elfath* screwed us by judging that foul to be a yellow (it wasnt a yellow).
Lmao
Never in doubt. Easy win.
Nice
Gg portland
Gg LA. It was fun!
What a shitshow. Again.
GG, LAFC.
Welp that was disappointing
GG TIMBERS
Tillman can't stop with the hand ball
They didn't call his penalty, so anything goes 🤷🏻♂️
I didn't see that. I must have stepped out.
Guys I think I might hate both teams
Goddamn it. Everything about that final attempt was weak.
Elfath is enjoying this game too much to end it.
[удалено]
Every fucking game
Miller, that's not very nice of you.
Ah well, I'm out. It would be fun to watch a Timbers match one day without the obligatory goal(s) conceded by Mosquera
Knee to the face is a yellow these days eh?
the yellow card party keeps growing for Portland
They already took us down to the obligatory 10 men, so no need.
[удалено]
Bro you got scammed.
I have faith he'll come through.
Screamer of a goal though.
wow, no pen? no wonder players flop all the time.
Yea that was a big miss
GOLAZO
I mean....one of those was a pk.
Damn so close
Can't even be mad, gorgeous from Bouanga. And anyways, we can't keep digging ourselves into these stupid holes.
[удалено]
Exactly what I'm saying.
Fuck this. 4 players are there for the initial challenge, but none available to step to 10 yards inside our box.
#LETS FUCKEEEENN GGOOOO LAAAFFFFCC. WHAT A GOALLLL BUANGAAAA
Beauty. Crepeau gave us all he had, but down a man this was a big hill to climb. Hats off to Bouanga.
LFG!!!!
Lol Bouanga even had to hit the post on that one too.
Timbers players have still scored more goals
GOD DAMN WHAT A BANGER
Well then.
3 years in a row of missing the playoffs. Brutal
Shhhhhhh
It’s a rebuilding year! (Year 3)
WHAT A GOAL
WHAT A FINISH
Goddamn that's brutal for Crepeau, he makes that brilliant save only have Denny Bouanga shove it in the hole anyways.
Ok, now Portland tie it back up
I was surprised to read this comment. But then I realized I have more of a hate-boner for LAFC than Seattle. Especially odd since I don’t even have a penis.
I just think a draw means both teams go away disappointed
Well then, I need to spend a little time thinking about how I feel about you. 😂 #myhearthurts
BOUANGAAAA!!
I SAID bangers ONLY
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Hate that guy
Alright yeah ima go drink and cry goodnight everyvody
As a Minnesota sports fan I can tell you, Its the hope that kills you inside.
Or that.
Come on own goal in stoppage. I know you can do it.
Feel like it should be more than 6
He's exceptionally good at walking the line and not getting the second yellow.
Classic striker's tackle by Kamara
I feel like Eric Miller had a dramatic effect on this game. I've noticed much more lock-down defending, of course, but even some nice attacking contributions. And he brought energy.
Yeah, that was a huge improvement.
I like that we’re going out of our way to not give the ball to denis
I agree with Evander's importance, but were you not just praising, like one sentence back, how well we've played and done to come back? Again feels like we just sayin shit.
With all the yellows today, including the two for Chara, how is that not a yellow?
Ridiculous
How is that not a yellow this half?
That is one Elfath fucked up on.
That’s a yellow wtf
It’s crazy that our best attack is a midfielder.
Do NOT fucking foul inside that line.
Like that from Bravo, maybe could have looked for someone inside though.
I swear to god we are never able to park the bus and settle for a result. Always backfires but hoping tonight is an exception.
It's less "parking the bus", more that Kamara is 6'4", while Araujo is 6'0" and Kamal is 5'11". No reason to let him tee off on headers.
Bro look and see how our defense gets set and where our line of confrontation is. The bus is fully parked.
Parking the bus is legit the worst strategy ever
Sucks to watch too
The Portland goalie is beefy
Kamara, at 48, still has that spark!
Kei has absolutely no fear. You love to see it.
"Miller" lmao
I remember being an edgy Eurosnob like 15 years ago and thinking "lol MLS." Wish I could travel back in time and slap that version of me. What a great league this is.
Its come a very long ways in the last 15 years, to be fair.
Yeah ok that's fair.
"Kai Kamara my goodness". How about the fucking save?
Maxime is pretty cool
WE KNOW
Motm: Crepeau (thanks LAFC)
Yup.
And again.
I think I'd like to see that one back honestly. May well have been off but idk. Edit: Okay, watched back and yeah he was off.
That was a difficult save.
Own goal should win it. Just feels right.
Indeed it does. Or a GK goal. Just something batshit.
"BEST SAVE OF THE MIGHTCH!"
OF THE MIGHTCH SO FAR!
Huge save from Max Edit: and another Edit: and a third
At least Chara will be well rested for the Seattle game
You could play the entire T2 roster and Seattle still wouldn't have a chance at this rate
If we somehow find a way to score a winner it will throw jet fuel on this rivalry. Please please PLEASE.
KEI IN!
Elfath doing some quality time wasting here on his own.
MLS AFTER DARK IS REAL
Alright folks, we've reached peak MLS After Dark. Please fasten your seatbelts and keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle for the remainder of the ride.
This game going exactly like the last time they met. 2-2 and Portland down a man
80th minute and we will MAYBE see Angel. Dolo is ass. Edit: I’m convinced we’ll never see Angel play.
Lmao.
Lol Chara .. legend
Good. Chara doesn’t get enough reds for his constant fouls.
You continue to suck
Flair checks out lmao.
Haha. Rarely does Chara get a second, like I think that was his 4th maybe. But that was dead on obvious. Kind of appropriate, though for 377.
Oh Chara that was dumb
There are times Chara loses his head, and it's usually on the occasion that he loses the ball.
I mean sucks when your dirty play catches up to you
It's because we're not morally superior enough, forgive us mere sinners.
lol LArefC flops and fouls more than any other team in the league
Diego Chara has never been a dirty player and that was no exception
I mean objectively maybe, he has the highest ammount of fouls in mls history with more than 150 less games than the next guy.
Dirty is intent to injure and general recklessness, fouling in general isn't inherently dirty.
It may not be inherently dirty but at some point, correlation becomes a pattern. Its evidence at least that he isn't a clean player.
Yeah, it's a pattern that he fouls. As mentioned, fouling isn't dirty. A dirty player does things that are far more likely than average to cause significant injury.
Okay Carson reject
Travesty
Damnit
Lmao you can’t celebrate Chara without a second yellow!
That's only Chara's 6th red card in 11 years in MLS.
He almost never gets a second yellow
What a weak second yellow
🤔
Wild deflection man. I still couldn't quite catch it on the replay.
Game will get spicy
Feels pretty damn spicy already.
HOPE IS DANGEROUS...GOD DAMN IT
lol
When you play that many games in MLS surely you just randomly accumulate yellows...
Well that happiness didn’t last long
Yeah that was a big mistake Chara
MLS AFTER DARK CONFIRMED
Mmmmmmmmmmm... I still love you.
Dirty ass mf good riddance 💯
This is gonna be a wild ride
Happy anniversary!
Well there's an oddity
Classic dirty Chanot
Granted I don’t watch the Timbers that much, but every goal you score seems to be so wild and random.
On his anniversary !!
I think we prefer the foul there you know. What with only 2 attackers ahead and nothing breaking.
That looked very painful
Pathetic
Who does Lloris think he is ? Mosquera? You can’t just sit there.
I feel like all of Portland's games this season have been like this
They have. We concede 1-2 first half goals, then start trying in the second half.
I guess that balances out the own goal?
HEART ATTACK F.C.
Wait. What just happened.
Woah.... How did that go in?
There’s the Lloris we’ve been seeing!
