Less about the soccer and more about being a Portland Timbers fan.

This is an old post from PTFZine 1.0. The focus of the web site has changed since then, but the old content remains. If you’re interested in the what and why, see this post.

That first red card… meh. The second was quite deserved.

Asprilla is looking for another goalazo, of which I have no complaints.

Would have liked to have seen Klute in the LB spot, but good to see Valentin’s play. Definitely going to be interesting to see how that plays out.

Nice seeing Valeri and Nagbe working up front, and Melano seems a bit more settled.

I didn’t really notice anything from our new CB, Taylor, but I’m chalking that up as a positive.

Would have preferred a larger line change at the half given the red cards. It’s a common complaint of Porter that he doesn’t sub early enough, and in this match in particular it would have been nice to see those 75min subs come in earlier and check out their work rate. Especially Jack Mac’s.

All in all I enjoyed the hustle. Just stop fouling the Maestro.
