I don’t know why I decided to check the Timbers subreddit, but it looks like they’re having a fun time over there. #rctid

Image of part of the match thread Timbers vs. Tijuana.

54' - Velde clocked in the face by #18 a CT shitstick. Then a fuckface defender pushes Velde's head as well as if he didn't get fucking smashed in the face. No cards, no fouls, just vibes from the ref. Total bullshit to not give a card or a foul for any of that. This ref and the VAR team can eat a fucking dick.

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

to the near post took him out of the play. Chara and da Costa aren't in positions to challenge for the ball. So when the ball gets headed out, all of Portland's players are on the right side of the field within 10 yards of the endline, leaving them unable to put any pressure on Kossa-Rienzi.

100

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Next is the organization in the box. Chara is slow to drop back after the pass to the overlapping Rusnak, so he can't cut off the pass to Ferreira. Da Costa leaves his man to cover that pass, even though Miller can probably get there in time. Surman was a bit too wide so the chipped cross

100

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

The first issue here is that Velde didn't track Kossa-Rienzi back. When the shot is taken, he is about 20 yards away after not even making an effort to get back. He probably would've prevented the goal if he had defended.

100

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Cross goes over Surman at the front post and Miller challenges de Rosario, leading to the ball coming out to Kossa-Rienzi at the top of the box, who finishes it. At this point, there are 6 Timbers players in the box and 6 Sounders in and around the box, 3 of them unmarked.

100

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Miller still has his eye on Ferreira, but da Costa accelerates to prevent the ball from coming to him, leaving Brunell free to make a run to the back post. However, da Costa takes his eye off of Ferreira and ends up not being able to do anything.

100

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Rusnak overlaps so Bye defends that and Bassett steps to Rothrock. Chara still supporting so Rothrock can't get a free shot if he dribbles past Bassett. 3v2 in the box, and while Ferreira has popped off the back line, the defenders should be able to get there if the ball is played to him.

100

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

After a few passes, the ball gets played to Rothrock on the left wing. Bassett follows Rusnak out there while Bye defends Rothrock. Chara flairs out to support, which I think is the right decision because if Bye gets beat, he could have a free shot if Chara hadn't been there.

100

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

It started with this free kick from Miller. The angle made it seem (at least to da Costa) like the pass was to Velde. But if Velde was the intended recipient, the ball was never getting there. This pass has to be better.

Here's a thread of some select moments from the World Cup this year except from BBCs 3d World Cup experience. First one is Dest's nutmeg against Australia and then Tillman getting hugged for the foul before the second goal. If there are any moments you want to see, put them in the replies.

The data for this game doesn’t really show it since he hasn’t gotten the ball much on the right, but one of the few times he did, he won the free kick for the second goal.

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Interesting tactical shift in regards to Tillman from the first to the second quarters. First quarter he stayed in the left half space most of the time, but in the second he’s been roaming. Similar to what happened last week, as shown in the @futi.live data

So, uh, what’s the minimum number of passes exchanged for a line in @futi.live?

020

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

One of the things that I like from Ali Ahmed is his movement after he passes. He tends to run towards the player he passes to. On the first goal, he played the ball to Johnston then running straight to the inside instead of trying to go around the defender, opening space for Johnston to dribble into
