playing through int'l breaks: "Because of this rule people just get on with it, but I'm not sure it's the right thing to do."
There was a hot-mic moment before the halftime show of Portland vs San Jose tonight. I want to hop in front of it and let everyone know it was me. I’m extremely sorry and embarrassed it happened.
I try to be objective but ultimately, I prefer when the Timbers win. Based on the
2023: Portland had 1 player over 8+ goals
2024: The only team in
@MLS
with 3 players on 8+ goals (Evander, Rodríguez, Mora)

The best attacking Big-3 in MLS 🔥
Tonight was a game of ‘firsts’ for Portland
-1st Timbers goal for Ayala ⚽️ 52’
-1st Timbers goal for Toye ⚽️ 69’
-1st Timbers clean-sheet for Crepeau 🧤
-1st in Leagues Cup west group-5 ✅
I asked Larrys Mabiala about his happiest moments from his 8 seasons in Portland.
He brought up his brace against Seattle in 2018 and this WCF-winning goal in 2021 vs Colorado. Mabiala was clutch
#RCTID
BREAKING: Tomorrow will be Larrys Mabiala’s last game as a Portland Timber.
He’s stepping away from the club as 6th all-time in minutes, starts, and most goals among any timber defender (11)

MLS is now 7-1 over Liga MX in Leagues Cup because of Zac McGraw’s 90th min goal
Here’s how the game-winner over León sounded on the local radio broadcast
#RCTID
6 years ago with his brothers Yimmi and Felipe, Diego Chara started an academy in their hometown of Cali, Columbia.
#RCTID
‘Dinastía Chara’ has been a huge success and this week several players from the academy are training with Timbers2.
Give loads of credit to Phil Neville for putting forwards (Antony, Asprilla) at the fullback spots.

2024 Evader MLS season:
Through 15 games: 8G, 9A- 17 G/A
2017 Valeri MLS season (won MVP):
Through 15 games: 9G, 4A- 13 G/A
Evander has been historically great to start the 2024 season
#RCTID
Timbers were 0-99 off corners coming into tonight, Zac McGraw single-headily changed that tonight with 2 corner goals
#RCTID
McGraw doubled his career goals from 2 to 4
Neville updates from his Thursday presser:
-Said Eryk Williamson should be in the USMNT picture and the Timbers have to get him there
-Crepeau not in training but will be back today, Neville gave him time off after being the “best keeper at Copa America”
-Ayala is a doubt
Santiago Moreno has matched his assist output from last season in 10 less games.
While he’s not getting the same shine as Rodríguez, Mora, and Evander, passes like this highlight his serious talent

#RCTID
and Larrys Mabiala mutually part ways:
MORA GOAL, the Timbers have now scored 400 goals at Providence Park
#RCTID
They become the fastest team in western conf history to achieve that mark- 223 games
Best offensive seasons in Timbers MLS history:
‘17 Diego Valeri- 32 G/A
‘14 Diego Valeri- 25 G/A
‘24 Evander- 24 G/A
If Evander plays the final 9 MLS games he is on pace to catch Valeri’s 2017 MVP season

It’s the best 9-game stretch for Portland since Oct 2021 (7W-1L-1D)
#RCTID
Zac McGraw fell out of favor after a 3-2 loss at Vancouver in late March
3 months later, he leads a clean-sheet victory over the same side. He’s allowed just 1 goal over his last 3 games 🧱

No MLS player has ever proved more in Liga MX than Jonathan Rodríguez
#RCTID
-Balón de Oro ‘21 (best player in Mexico)

I know it was just a fun, whatever match, but the young kids for Timbers and Thorns looked good. Just impressed with their touch and accuracy. Even if it was lazy defense.
Key takeaways from Timbers GM Ned Grabavoy’s press conference
#RCTID
Grabavoy wants to a get a deal done with Diego Chara- “We will have Diego Chara back with us one way or another next year.”
Called this transfer window an “acceptable” one and the club toyed around with
Give Pantemis an assist for that Evander FK goal!

With Evander assisting the opening goal vs VAN, he is now part of an exclusive group with 10+ assists
#RCTID
He is 1 of 4 players with 8+ goals and 8+ assists this season, easily an All-Star

If the Timbers finished 2nd in their group they would've had a home match, the reward for first was a negative.
Neville on the tournament seeding structure, "It's ludicrous... the scheduling needs to be looked at seriously."
He’s remarkably averaging a G/A every 71 minutes this season.
#RCTID
Tonight, he faces the LA Galaxy for the first time trying to extend his points streak to 6 games
Phil Neville on the remainder of the transfer window:
"The performance level has gone up. For us to bring in a player now has got to be someone that really, really improves the team."
