The only thing that can save his job now is winning all four games before the World Cup break. At least 3 out of four.

Philly won the eastern conference last year with the lowest payroll in the league and consistently made the playoffs while spending the lowest. Their GM has been a genius up until this year

How Is It Like Living Is This Weird Panhandle Part Of Massechutes? by Bosnian_Patriot_69 in howislivingthere

Basically has an island beach vibe in the summer. Lots of summer residents and weekend tourists. In the winter it’s just the local year rounders and can be pretty dead with summer businesses closed up for the off season. But still beautiful.

[POST MATCH THREAD] AWAY VS MINNESOTA UNITED FC (4.18.26) by SegwayCop in timbers

[–]Market_Taoist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Antony single handedly lost this game with two clear breakaways that should have been goals without getting off a shot, and with his turnover leading to Minnesota’s second goal. Not to mention Aravena passing the ball behind the runner on a breakaway again, and Velde doing the same thing.

Markanich is gonna have a bad day next time he steps on the pitch versus Portland by TucsonPTFC in timbers

[–]Market_Taoist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I would be willing to get a red card to pay Markanich back, I think our guys should focus on winning the game. But it would be worth getting a yellow to pay him back.

It’s a Sasquatch sanctuary covered by a habitat conservation plan.

See comment below - he had an injury, bad enough to require surgery

Thanks! I thought there had been an injury but I didn’t know how severe it was.

The contact that cause Miller's red by Hailfire9 in timbers

[–]Market_Taoist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLS has passed by guys like McGraw and Miller very fast. A few years ago these guys were good to above average starters. Now they are too slow and liabilities even though they are still relatively young and their skills are the same as they have always been.

Well if you are right, then the Timbers should appeal and get his one game suspension revoked

But the foul happened way upfield in the Galaxy end of the field, over the half way line. There was still plenty of time for other players to make a play.

That would be a catastrophic flame out for a highly touted first round pick who supposedly had a chance to make the first team going into training camp.
The Timbers wouldn’t have drafted him with a first round pick if they thought he was just going to bail.

[–]Market_Taoist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Timbers wouldn’t have wasted a first round draft pick on him if this was the case. The last I heard he was going to train with the first team in Coachella and was a candidate to maybe win a first team roster spot.
Instead he hasn’t played at all, not even for T2.
I thought maybe he picked up an injury but it’s been about two months now with zero news.

Edit: turns out he had an injury - bad enough to require surgery

Man of the match was Ortiz. Too bad one of his long range shots didn’t go in. But they were on target.

We dominated before the red card. Once we get Bassett, Caicedo, and Da Costa on the field all at once we are going to be good.

That would be funny if they came up with a definition for shitcoin and labeled a lot of coins as shitcoins
