Incredibly hard to disagree with. I hate that to learn what I actually want to learn, and what will actually be useful for what I want to do, I have to sit through courses that I’m never really going to use.

I only just realized that Puerta left Racing for Olympiacos. I really don’t understand the decision. Great World Cup for Colombia, very important role for a La Liga team just to go play in a much worse league. Huge step down for a player good enough to play for a much better team.

We need to be even more divisive on this issue. Maybe something like guillotine all supporters of positional play or something. There’s no way we can appreciate that both styles can be implemented in so many ways, both have their advantages and disadvantages, and hybrid systems can be implemented.

But overall it was great to see a relational team play well in a top league.

Dialectical Managerialism @dialecticalmanager.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

When I watched it, it felt like they were trying to force it a bit too much in the attack sometimes when they didn’t have players in front of the ball and should’ve turned around and kept the ball. It was their first game in La Liga in 14 years, so it might’ve just been nerves/excitement.

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.

My favorite part of this tournament was when the advertising boards displayed “Reignite the Rivalry.” Like if you have to say it then it doesn’t really do much. Its like when Jeb Bush said “please clap”

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

TLDR: - Velde didn't track back - da Costa didn't track his man or cover the top of the box - da Costa put himself in a useless position defensively - Surman took himself out of the play, forcing Miller to come across more than he should've - VELDE DIDN'T TRACK BACK

000

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

Overall, this was just poor defending of the transition and the cross. Really poor from Velde and da Costa. They both ball watched, leaving players, including the goal scorer, free. There cannot be 3 players free in and around the box in these situations. It will always end like this.

100

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

And if the cross had gone to the back post or had been flicked to the back post, Seattle would've gotten a good chance because of Portland's really poor structure since Brunell as free and Ferreira was lurking.

100

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.
