Shapi standing on the far side of the pitch with his arms up as Bartlett's low drive gets fielded by Thomas like Shapi could do anything productive in that scenario lol

If I'm an SKC fan I'm fuming that Luiz only played 76 minutes and got subbed off at 1-1.

SKC throwing away leads vs Seattle getting away with it. Unstoppable force vs unbreakable object. Goddamnit.

Jeremy Peterman𓅪 @jeremypeterman.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

SKC throws away leads like the Timbers allow early goals. Could be a fascinating "unbreakable object vs unstoppable force" battle next weekend. In other news, it means that this 1-0 lead against Seattle is nowhere near safe.

Jeremy Peterman𓅪 @jeremypeterman.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That's why you spend a ton of money on a DP winger, by the way. Portland's roster plan has to involve a DP right winger or they simply won't be able to compete for a top 4 place in either the sprint season or the 27/28 campaign.

If Andre Luiz has space, he's already won. Congratulations to Seattle for conceding a WPIOOTBGW. Not an innovation, unfortunately.

Andre Luiz plays at a different speed than the rest of his teammates. In fact, he plays at a different speed than anyone on the field.

I don't blame Sounders fans for not showing up to a Thursday night home game at Lumen. Look what happened last time!

18-2 on aggregate over two games? I thought Boston was the hottest team in the league a month ago! Going out sad to the mighty Yankees? 😂

The season began with Da Costa recovering from shoulder surgery. Fernandez and McGraw missed the first 14 games with long-term injuries. Mosquera and Bye won't be back until after the sprint season. Now Bonetig's shoulder surgery puts him out for the year. Just brutal. #RCTID

It's going to keep happening. It's inevitable. I blame the defense.

The Portland Timbers will not make the playoffs in 2026 because they cannot start a games in a consistently positive manner. They will also not make the playoffs because they cannot find a way to be consistently competitive away from home. #RCTID

I believe tonight was the first time in club history that three homegrown academy graduates (Sulte, Jura, Izoita) made an MLS matchday squad for the Portland Timbers. They had 3 rostered in 2022 (Sulte, Bodily, Ikoba), but those three never made the same matchday squad. #RCTID

Even without the goal, I'd nominate Da Costa. Izoita had an excellent cameo too. #RCTID

Kansas City secured their first clean sheet of the season, which moves them into a tie with the Timbers for last place among MLS teams with 1 shutout. #RCTID

This game was over in the 4th minute. That's when the Timbers conceded another soft opening goal. The remainder of this game was garbage time. San Jose scored two more before the half hour mark. Despite the defensive absences, this is still a very bad loss. #RCTID

ANTONY FINDS IZOITA IN THE BOX, AND THE ACADEMY GRADUATE SLIPS A PASS TO PORTUGUESE DAVE TO PUT THE TIMBERS ON THE BOARD WITH A NEAR POST FINISH IT'S 3-1 TO THE QUAKES IN THE 86TH MINUTE #RCTID

Eric Izoita, Ian Smith, and Antony enter the game in the 67th minute for Bassett, Lassiter, and Fory. #RCTID

Jeremy Peterman𓅪 @jeremypeterman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Velde just allows Kikanovic to glide past him. So do both Millers. Pantemis is able to make the close-range save. No one is getting stuck in. San Jose, meanwhile, is able to block two shots in quick succession by Velde and Bassett because they collapse space. #RCTID

Another overarching question: where is the on-field leadership? Where is it supposed to come from? #RCTID

Benji Kikanovic replaces Paul Marie at halftime for San Jose. No Timbers subs at the break. #RCTID

For the record, all three of SJ's first half goals come from 4 shots on target with a combined xG value of 0.56. Not the best chances at all. #RCTID

Miguel Araujo would've been caught upfield on all three of San Jose's goals. #RCTID

Halftime thoughts from my couch: -Weak pressure from the front, plenty of space in the midfield for San Jose, and the Quakes can move the ball at will and take advantage of the makeshift center back pairing. Defense begins from the front and it's been absent all game. #RCTID

190

Jeremy Peterman𓅪 @jeremypeterman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

These San Jose goals have been so EASY. Complete lack of ball pressure on the entry passes, center backs deserted on both Judd finishes, and just a completely disorganized mess at the back with very little defense from the front. #RCTID

Marie and Lowen give-and-go on Portland's left side, and another unpressured cross finds Judd in the box for a volley past Pantemis. 3-0 SJ, 29th minute. Horrendous. #RCTID

Jeremy Peterman𓅪 @jeremypeterman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Lowen receives the slip pass from Leroux and roofs it past Pantemis from a very tight angle. 2-0 SJ, 24th minute. Extremely disappointing. #RCTID

050

Jeremy Peterman𓅪 @jeremypeterman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Lowen is unpressured, his cross finds Judd in the center of the box, and the header floats over Pantemis. 1-0 SJ, 4th minute. Timbers haven't won a game on the road after conceding first. #RCTID

Bruce Arena was hired in 2025 with the reason why he left New England kept under wraps. One year later, the Earthquakes chose to hire someone whose "mistakes" and "errors" have been widely publicized. It's 2026. Why is Gavin Wilkinson still getting jobs within MLS? #RCTID

Contract expires at the end of the 2027/28 season with options for 28/29 and 29/30. Raising my eyebrows slightly at the relatively short length, but good to see this deal finally get done. All of his short-term loans were exercised. He'll be in the squad tomorrow. #RCTID
