Velde is currently 4th in the MLS for "Loss of Possession"

First I like Velde. Love his skill and confidence -- very fun player to watch. But he needs to be better with the ball. Loss of possession is OK in the attack if you are creating chances. Velde isn't.

Also, Velde is currently 19th in the league for shots off-target...yikes.

I don't want to be too hard on him because our other DP, Portuguese Dave, has been MIA from the top 25 in the league for any stat. Dave does lead our team in chance creation despite, and I'm having trouble believing this is true, having zero statistical dribbles won.

[MATCH THREAD] AWAY VS INTER MIAMI CF (5.17.26)

3 POINTS PLEASE!!

HYPE THREAD

Lineup Thread

Kick off is at 3:10ish PM PST.

MLS Match Center

At my niece's bday party. Will try to keep up to date with the score line/yellows/subs, but updates will be more sparse than usual.


#Portland Timbers 0 - 2 Inter Miami CF


5' - 🧤 Save for Pants!

Been listening to the game. Pants has been standing on his head. Then we had a period of possession and then the goal against.

31' - Goal Messi. Of course.

40' - Antony with a good chance and he just gets stuffed.

41' - 🟨 Yellow card for De Paul (Miami)

42' - goal them. Too good for our defense. This shit is going to be embarrassing by the end of the game.


##Halftime

Only being down by 2 gives us a chance in the 2nd half, but boy, we need to actually accomplish something offensively to have any hope to do anything this season.


57' - Good chance for Velde, but as per usual, we hit it straight at the keeper

58' - 🟨 Yellow card for some Miami jerk

66' - 🟨 Yellow card for DDC

67' - Smith ON 🔁 K.Miller OFF

74' - Aravena ON 🔁 Da Costa OFF

78' - ⚠️ Probably a PK foul on Velde, VAR wants Miami to win, so they don't bother calling the ref over to look at it.

83' - Ayala was just subbed on for Miami 😥

87' - Guerra Mosquera ON 🔁 Kelsy Antony OFF

87' - incredible ball by Velde from a set piece and we just don't do a fucking thing with it

90' - 🧤 Good save by Pants

+5 minutes stoppage

92' - 🟨 Yellow card for Surman

95' - 🧤 PANTS WITH AN INCREDIBLE SAVE!! SAVE OF THE YEAR!

Just got done watching the Timbers at Miami...

Yeah we lost, but the whole game I couldn't help, but think how special our fan base is. Miami has the most stacked team the mls has ever seen and may ever see. The greatest player to ever play and guess what it was quiet. Nobody standing, no drums, no chants, no cheers aside for Messi... the timbers got something special at Providence Park, and it makes me damn proud to be a fan.

Salary comparison for today's match versus Miami.

Salaries from MLSPA. The y-axis a little wonky-looking because its sorted high to low on base salary but is labeled to show guaranteed.

Columbus just fired their coach in his first year...

Note how they didn't give him years to adjust or "build out his team," they saw it wasn't working and did something about it because they don't want to settle and put their fans through a miserable season. How I wish our front office had those standards. Anyway the Crew are just 1 point behind us this year...
