On Monday, Diego Chará announced he would retire after the 2027 MLS Sprint Season. Green Is the Color wants to let you let him know what he means to us. #RCTID greenisthecolor.substack.com/p/say-thank-...

My funny little tidbit of the day is that I wrote about Kane ten years ago in our Euro-Preview at SV and I dared to compare him to SERGIO BUSQUETS of all players. 10y later, René Marić is his coach, lets him operate in these Busquets-zones and he goes on to win the Ballon d'Or. Lovely.

So much has happened, and it’s absolutely the sign of a legend when we can measure time by the length of his tenure. I hear you—and I’m thankful we have a little notice to take it all in and appreciate him this way.

Thanks to Braylon Breeze for the very enjoyable conversation & for letting me expand on a few stories from 40 years of broadcasting life I haven’t previously told in detail. Hopefully many more 🎙️ years to come.

Since Izoita is getting attention from national pundits, I thought I’d highlight Jeremy’s analysis from last nights game as well. #RCTID

FINAL | Timbers2 fall 1-0 to Ventura County, allowing the winner in the 84’ #RCTID Good chances in stoppage time but not to be. Best season in T2 history comes to close in the conference semi finals. Final record: 15W-5L-10D

A couple of late chances fall by the wayside, and T2's season ends with a 1-0 home loss to Ventura County in the Western Conference Semifinals. Rough way to end such an overwhelmingly positive season. #RCTID

Read Joe’s analysis of Izoita everyone. #RCTID

Halftime thoughts from the pressbox: -Santos plays like a crash-test dummy. Wildly entertaining player. -Need to get their foot on the ball more, having trouble taking it off of Ventura and having trouble keeping possession. #RCTID

Timbers2 locked and loaded for the conference semis against Ventura County FC #RCTID Hoping for a Providence Park sweep this weekend: Thorns win, Timbers win, now it’s T2’s turn!

I could watch T2 defend in a mid-block for hours. Every single move is coordinated. They all turn and shift at the exact same time. Really well drilled and disciplined. #RCTID

Look I know there's a lot that's terrible but this timeline has some real redeeming features after all.

Sawyer Jura nutmeg count in first 10 minutes: 2. #RCTID

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Yes the Current announced attendance at 18,000. No. Nobody should allow that to be the actual match attendance number.

Wildwood in theaters, neighborhoods are revitalized, downtown foot traffic before rain was at prepandemic levels, Blazers owners aren’t moving the team, progressives have national momentum carrying into local races, and corporate lackeys are clearly desperate right now across many channels.

An important reminder that Gavin was holding back the club with his insistence that Portland couldn’t sustain an academy. Finally starting to move away from that mindset. #RCTID

Eric Izoita (19yo, Portland Timbers homegrown) picked up two assists against Charlotte FC last night — and both came via his weaker right foot. Kid is a player. Really good work from Marti Cifuentes to integrate him into the 1st team. December camp? 🇺🇸

Blazers win, Thorns win, Timbers win, (curse broken), the weather has turned, T2 plays tonight in the playoffs. Portland is so back

The Timbers continue to leave plenty of gaps in the midfield that good teams could take advantage of. A defined, organized, and compact out-of-possession structure is still a serious need in order for the competitive floor to be raised. #RCTID

Portland Timbers FC: 3 (2.87 xG) vs Charlotte FC: 2 (0.83 xG) #PORvCLT | #RCTID | #ForTheCrown | #MLS | 🤖⚽

2 assists tonight by the way 👀👀

PORTLAND AT THE ABSOLUTE DEATH 🤯🤯

The Thorns booked their 10th straight playoff berth off a worldly, and the transphobes got chased out of the North End. The Timbers grabbed the most needed of wins in the most dramatic of fashions to keep their hopes for the postseason alive. What a 24 hours for Soccer City. #RCTID #BAONPDX
