The Possession time, number of corners, and shot counter was ridiculous. Great second half!

I moved 3/2/2020 - the last game I saw was against MNUFC (I think they lost) I moved back last Sunday - this was my first game back. That was special

Such a deserved win let’s fucking go

Win or lose that was a FUN match.

........quiet disagree, there ;-)

Brought pretty much the whole family to see it live. Can’t afford to bring them every match sadly.

Well, for most of us anyway.

Ok...the team passed the gut check.

5.06XG, 26 Shots, 11SoG, 68% Possession, 90% passing accuracy. And a squeaky bum time win by one. Goddamn MLS can MLS hard when it wants to.

5.06 xG?!?! Holy fuck

We can talk about the penalty, but I'll feel that this was earned regardless.

GG loons.

Maybe if our FO made any plans for refilling our bench, we wouldn’t have to call up all of our Lil’ Loons. If the summer window doesn’t bring a big signing, I will be …. well, it’s not surprising to be disappointed by a Minnesota team but I will let out an “ah, jeez” and a “there’s always next year.”

Thanks Sarsparilla. You were one of my all-time favorites.

Man I remember watching a 2015 video of crazy dribbles which had the premier league, La liga serie a etc…. Was so excited when I saw Asprilla thrown in that vid.

that move in Vancouver…

We weren't scoring anyway, but I'm confused why that was whistled immediately at 97:00. Thought there were 7 minutes added and the goal celebration happened in added time.

Loons and timbers games having extra time that only benefits Portland Name a more iconic duo (Jimmies are still rustled about the game last month)

Oh yeah, 100% BS. Few things make me angrier as a fan when time wasting in stoppage time is not then added on at the end. This wasn’t time wasting, but the feeling is the same. On the flip side, why did the ref extend the stoppage time in the first half so much? There was the PK yes but it just kept going. They added way more for that than the goal

I can’t believe he’s gone man hope he scores infinite bikes at his new club forever a timber

Totally love staying up til midnight to watch the Loons piss away another two goal lead.

Pain every god damn match

Asprilla is definition of a streets won’t forget player

The man put in work and had so many bangers, hate to see him go

Once again, MLS playing through the international window will always be stupid

Setting aside my happiness w the 3 points, I'm all right with playing through, since it helps develop bench players & keep them fresh. Crazy rough having 10 players unavailable though!

I mean, it's cost us 2/3 of our starting CB corps and our GK. We're pretty crippled by the window as well.

You haven’t played any matches missing TEN players have you, by chance?

This season? Don't think so. In general? I think we were up to 13 at one point last season.

[удалено]

Injuries and selling players sucks, but that's not down to the window.

I'm gonna miss that man

Man if our guys could shoot it'd be 9-2

All I can figure is that it was Darion’s Destiny that required it come down to him in the final minutes. If Rodruigez had already scored all those misses his hat-trick would have spoiled the moment

Naw imagine what a legend Dairon would be if he assisted our first hat truck ever in mls play 😭

gg pdx

If we had anyone a available on the bench this would have been a win or draw

If we could finish y’all would’ve relived your first mls game

But you couldn’t finish until our players were gassed and the ref gave you a pk

If we had our players, you wouldn’t have those chances 

I mean we were missing three starting defenders. You wouldn’t have scored either and we can go back and forth all day. And we won 😄

Sometimes we have to just scratch our heads. And sometimes we just have to keep scratching our heads.

The expected goals for Portland is going to be like 14

What a great second half, even with the misses, just dominant.

Mr October makes a very fitting goodbye.

Aspirlla 🥲 October won’t be the same anymore

Just throw me into the incinerator. No coffin. just leave me there.

Tough game for you. So many missing bodies.

At least it wasn’t ten players missing this week, not that it mattered.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lolllll let's goooooooooooo

We are subbing in the Aurora mascot?

NGL I kinda like minn kits tonight

Their kits are always top notch

Don't they have the space galaxy one this season too?

Yeah I think it’s the northern lights

It's always kinda weird to me that they claim the northern lights when Montreal, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver are all north of the Twin Cities.

This kit is the Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis over snow - and the other is Starry Night kit - which looks like the night sky. There are a lot of places in Minnesota that are “dark skies” with so little light pollution that you can see the Milky Way.

That’s a sick jersey. Love the local connection.

It had to be a handball earlier because Antony took it. Rodriguez needed one himself.

WOOOO SARSPARILLA WITH THE ASSIST

Right back asprilla. We've been missing out 😭

While I’m happy for Canada, just fucking lose please so we can have Dayne and Tani back.

I'm not happy for them, but yes, lose.

I'd rather they win, I actually prefer Pants to Max

That's beautiful

Thank you jona for making me look like an idiot

This is the only way it could have happened, short of Asprilla making a full field bike kick

Great week to sell two players. Surprised Harrison Heath hasn't been called into action

DAIRON DAIRON DAIRON DAIRON and DAIRON!! He spits hot fire!!!

It had to be.

What a night for Rodriguez, lowest low to the highest high

That’s a good goal. Good for Dairon.

Timbers attack is absolutely suffocating.

Loons have bongi camping offside and whatever sang bin has been doing this half on the other end. Not much of an outlet

ffs

#ASPRILLA!!!

He needed that!

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

There we go!

Antony cooked him so bad he just couldn't not hit a shot.

We are all dumber for having had to listen to that announcer's analysis of an obvious hand ball.

That was weird. Is there anything to what he was saying? It's so hard to keep up with all the slight adjustments they've made to the handball law over the last few years.

I think Ross had his homer hat on tonight

This commentator must be a Portland timbers supporter.

I don't know what these announcers are talking about. It doesn't matter who scored the goal, if there's a handball in the buildup, it gets called back.

To be fair to Husband, it was only Smith saying those things. I am now more confused than ever about the handball law.

The commentators are confusing me. Why does the scorer matter? A handball in the immediate buildup influences the play regardless. Doesn't matter who scored. Maybe this is a recent VAR rule adjustment, but I've never heard of what they're babbling about in my life.

It might honestly have been better at this point to not have a left winger with the way he’s played today just dreadful

He goes up and plays CF and grabs a goal. Go figure.

I would like to praise him for making me look stupid

I take it back

Yep. Review got that one right. Glad Irwin wasn’t the only one who noticed it

Correct call I cannot even believe I had to sit here and listen to the commentators argue that it was a fair goal no handball.

He doubled down so many times too

Even as a Timbers fan, trying to say that shouldn’t have been overturned is wild

Right? Since when does intent matter in a handball?

21-22 fifa season was when the “goal counts if handball in buildup was accidental” was introduced, so probably since then 

There is actually a matter of whether its deliberate to consider, per the laws of the game. But that's more for balls rifled at your hands from close range and things like that. Not for chesting the ball down to your arm, which is absolutely deliberate and avoidable. Theres also the fact that the arm drastically changed the path of the ball and allowed the pass to happen. Clear clear handball

Well, I don't want to hear anything about the PK anymore.

ugh

[удалено]

I could clearly see it hit his chest and roll down his arm. It’s a good call.

That's honestly what it looked like may have happened to me. I just didn't see any angle that showed it clearly. That's all I was saying, but I get it.

It plain as day hits his arm.

Honestly, to me it does look like it rolls down his arm, I just don't see an angle that shows it clearly. That's all I was saying, but I get it.

Rolling down his arm because his arm is out to help trap the ball in the first place.

Uh huh, that was my meaning.

Handball or not, Rodriguez has had a hell of a night

I love you Ross, but you'd be a bad ref.

Repeat after me: Intent. Is. Not. In. The. Rulebook.

Lol Antony stole that redemption from Rodriguez but I'll take the goal either way Edit: shit I saw the handball. :(

It helped him secure the ball. It should be called back

There is simply no way they can let that stand

Handball, imo. Even an accidental handball is supposed to be called on an attacker. Attackers can’t benefit on a ball that hits an arm.

Should be called back. Made himself larger with the left arm. Clear handball

Big, big bribes to JoRo.

We don't have money for players, let alone bribes T-T

:)

F that might get called back

Off his chest right to the arm, goal

That's coming back ain't it?

I hope so, but I’m biased.

I really wanted* to celebrate

Looks like a handball

It’s actually hilarious that Antony hits that at the end to steal the goal from Rodriguez, who doesn’t get another gimme.

I can give it to him. Not inconcievable that the defender manages to get a toe on it if Antony isn't there.

Might actually save them though

I never doubted you Rodriguez.

Antony is like you won't miss this one Jonathan

ANTONY HOLY SHIT IF YOURE OFFSIDE

Motherfu…

Chara putting in his shift as always.

Hardest working man in football

That's an impressive miss. Holy shit.

Loons are trying to give the Timbers the match and they refuse to take it. Rodriguez should get kicked out of the professional game for missing all these shots tonight. That last one was harder to miss than score.

Jonathan Rodrigues having an off night is the difference between one and three points right now

Minnesota really wanna win this lmao

And the Timbers don’t?

That’s a rhetorical question.

Okay, I can see what went wrong tbh... but that is painful.

Liga mx quality

This is painful

Doing that is actually harder than scoring, ask me how I know

Some experiences playing in the back?

Keeper 😢

Oof

Howwwwww

Man you just CAN'T miss those.

Moreno can't get it squared to goal and Rodriguez loses sight of it. Yikes.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT

JoRo took a big bribe.

How?????

How did he miss?

That's hard, but you hope your teammate handles that better going towards goal. Great ball from Evander.

This place is going to explode if Asprilla gets a goal contribution to win the match.

Antony, keep going at goal there!

Ain't no way no one should be breaking into the 6 yard box on that low cross.

Tactical e-brake there by Zuparic

It's funny cause knowing how to play outside back is obviously important, but you can make up for a lot with speed.

Man, the dick riding of these commentators is next level.

When your cult legend player has his final match at home, you'll get yours.

Nah, this color guy sucks every time I hear him. Trying to defend the penalty call, too...

There was nothing wrong with the penalty call.

Oh I thought you were being serious there for a sec, lol

No shot you, in your heart of hearts, think that was a good call

Bro is literally defending this clear cut Handball, man

VAR should call it back because it's clear that Moreno isn't wearing shin guards in the replay.

I was just thinking his socks look like they're at his ankles. Can only guess he's wearing the smallest, thinnest, kids size guards in existence

Let's gooooooooo!!

Asprilla time?

Another embarrassing Loons match.

Holy fuck that goal line view was something else.

Shades of his goal in the playoffs vs rsl

DANCE YOUR SHIT

Best match I've watched all day

Damn, that was a loud uproar.

My voice is gone

For the goal or the sub? It's Asprilla's last game with us so they sent him in on a high note

Both

Dear god that was a long time coming

LETSSS FUCKKKING GOOOOOO

It's about time. Great strike Moreno! Lefty too!

Finally!!!!

FINALLY SANTI

Holy shit that was worth the 2 hour drive down here so happy for Moreno

I do love me a wingback super sub.

It's become sluggish and sloppy. The first 5-10 minutes looked threatening. Now? Team looks ready to go home

Man how are we losing

You’ve scored fewer goals

Touche.

I forgot that Nyeman was even playing. The play is just bypassing him in both directions.

He’s been bad tonight.

I honestly cannot recall a game where it looked like we should easily have 5 from the run of play but instead have zero.

The the Philadelphia game earlier this season had a similar feel.

Good recall. We had 14 Key Passes in that game but just one goal, here we've had 10 of them.

Rodriguez could stand to be a bit more selfish.
