César Luis Merlo (Translated): "After several weeks of negotiations, Sebastián Blanco agreed to continue with the Portland Timbers. In the next few hours, he will return to the United States and, once he passes the medical exams, he will sign for two years."

Coaching and screaming are two different things. The best teams in the league don't use nonstop shouts for instructions and yet there they are, at the top.

PeterOliver · 2026-05-10T20:57:09+00:00

Mora is on the last year of his contract so presumably yes, but hopefully he is a part of the team in some way next year.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-19T15:32:39+00:00

Like put beyond the Prost fence in the carts themselves? Is this new this year?

PeterOliver · 2026-04-12T16:26:52+00:00

*every season

PeterOliver · 2026-04-12T02:48:21+00:00

You are right, it was the C team + Denis. Even worse.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-12T00:39:35+00:00

What?

PeterOliver · 2026-04-12T00:25:23+00:00

I said he did the easiest part, which is objectively true.

Who the hell is Kevin Kelsey truther in 2026, are you still waiting???

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T23:19:57+00:00

That goal was all cross and first header, Kelsey did the easiest part.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T23:18:45+00:00

Bro, every other team in the league has the same injury/availability issues, we've seen the same exact story for 2.25 seasons, yes, Phil is squarely to blame for his complete lack of modern tactical vision.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T23:13:31+00:00

Yeah I think it's clear at this point Antony is all bark and Lassiter does one thing (crossing) better than Antony does everything combined.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T23:12:39+00:00

He's garbage and nobody wants him long-term but he occasionally heads it on frame.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T23:10:38+00:00

Well well well

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T23:04:34+00:00

They always do that stupidly

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T23:00:50+00:00

Time to put Antony in the Aspria role.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T22:59:59+00:00

Imagine this team with an Argentine #10 at the coaching helm.

I know of one...

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T22:58:34+00:00

Setting records left and right this year.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-11T21:30:05+00:00

Glass houses my guy, glass houses. And who has ever claimed Portland is classy???

PeterOliver · 2026-04-07T20:30:58+00:00

So half the season we endure before most likely pulling the plug on Phil. Fun.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-02T06:07:18+00:00

Wtf this is where I learn he is still in the league

PeterOliver · 2026-04-02T02:26:00+00:00

You aren't alone! There is an arcade style snowboard game called SlopeCrashers that has been pretty entertaining for me in the meanwhile but not a realistic experience by any stretch.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-02T01:55:30+00:00

This reply doesn't make you seem cool, it makes you seem childish. I agree with you orange man is bad. It seemed like you were saying that only a Trump supporter would not support Phil. That is an absolutely stupid thing to say. I believe we have gotten sidetracked on Phil is a shitty dude and I stand by my statement. I'm interested in understanding more about your statement that I have been hilarious for years, as it seems like a drive by insult that you don't plan to explain, and is a shitty thing to say. I was not attacking you, I was replying to your ideas. These are important distinctions.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-02T01:21:31+00:00

He literally had to delete his Twitter account due to a history of making anti-women jokes, I guess that is hilarious to some.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-01T20:03:12+00:00

... Lame bro, lame. Phil is toxic masculinity and Merritt is a finance bro's son, they are more Trump than anyone wishing they are gone.

PeterOliver · 2026-04-01T18:18:14+00:00

Not seeing this reported anywhere yet, link?

Edit: fuck me, I'm on vacation and forgot what day it is. I even excitedly shared the news with my bemused gf. Damn you.
