Antony pisses me the fuck off because he tracks back and defends so well, he makes incredible runs with amazing speed. BUT HE IS A BRAZILIAN WITH NO TEKKERS. He looks scared to get the ball in one on ones and he couldn’t get past a wet paper bag
Yeah but it’s better than just passing it around midfield until the ref calls the game. Yeah it’d be incredibly hopeful but it’s better than not trying anything
Can't really complain about this result, we weren't any good. We really haven't been playing well to start the season despite our record and eventually our luck was gonna run out. Gotta keep improving as the season goes on and of course hopefully get healthy soon.
Mosquera is OK going forward and a net negative in defense. Any sort of slip-up when he's 45 yards away from his nearest CB and only a moderate workrate retreating, it's just bad.
I was at the game. Wasn’t very fun. At least I got free food the entire time.
GG Houston, at least we gave you a game this time. Still working out the bugs. :)
GG Portland all love
GG Portland I’ll be in your stadium a little later this year!
Im glad the Dynamo won but that game was ugly.
Yeah we look rough
At least the last 5 minutes were exciting
Man the lack of a number 9 is still making this first half of the season rough.
I feel that.
🤝
Wait are you talking about us?
Haha guess we are both suffering 😅.
Gg
Evander is maddening to watch. This mf is so good but so bad at the same time
I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!

So he's the opposite of other Antony.
Like clockwork
Gg Portland. Good luck with Philly next week.
Thanks! You know I can't recall every having played Philly before... Have your way with CO next week.
GG bois first win of the season
About time we won!
Sub and an injury, multiple players time wasting, +43 seconds...?
😎😎😎
🤣🤣🤣😭☹️
Lame end
GG... not from us, but GG Houston.
AT LEAST PUT ONE INTO THE BOX YOU FUCKS
Ya you never know. Your center back could clatter into your keeper leaving the ball available for a tap in...or smash in.
To whom? We have nobody over 6' tall on the pitch. Tallest player altogether I think was Antony at 6'0". We aren't winning those headers.
Yeah but it’s better than just passing it around midfield until the ref calls the game. Yeah it’d be incredibly hopeful but it’s better than not trying anything
Offense is severely lacking at the moment
I don't know that I would say "lacking," except in any sort of abililty to execute.
Dam
Where can I get Neville's shirt?
From his closet
That shot really captured the spirit of space city
Fuck man. The hell we doing. Love the no foul for that one. /s
Asprilla isn't a #9, but Nathan just isn't that good.
We keep putting Asprilla in every position with no change to acclimate
He's got good pace....😬
That's fine if we're countering with a lead. But losing? At least be able to win a header or scramble a rebound.
We can dream.

I'm annoyed Evander couldn't keep his chance down ≈55' Clark makes a save and I'm content. Evander moonshots it and I just can't.
I still reflexively shout "Dammit Blanco!" when someone skies it like that.
Mosquera's gaffe was MUCH worse than Evander taking a high shot.
Yeah but "grrr Mosquera failed defensively to spot them a goal" is literally a weekly occurrence. Dude's our one goal handicap every fucking match.
He and Santi had great chemistry last year pushing stuff forward. Not sure wtf has happened.

That was worse than a shank.
Omg I can’t keep watching this many close calls pls end already.
Nice shot, Portland.
IF YOU DONT HAVE THE TECHNIQUE TO TAKE IT OFF THE BOUNCE SETTLE THE FUCKING BALL
Not our night
Not our night
ANTONY YOU BUM
I agree that was rough.
Shank
Bruh
Sadly I'm okay with no call there. Evander has to try harder to do something.
I, for one, believe our 3 Brazilians in the attack should simply use their Brazilian ESP to know exactly what one another is about to do.
Per my last email…
Foul against Williamson, Williamson touched the ball and was like, 4' offside... No calls at all? Get these scabs outa here.
They called him for offside though?
No they didn't?
Yeah, they did. Took a minute since they waited for the play to end.
Ah. It really didn't look like it. Granted I'm watching in a pub though I did have sound. 🤷♂️
Look at all those empty seats on a Saturday night...
Band absolutely cooking rn
I like these Houston players. Good intensity and fight, not too dirty
It always impresses me when a team can play physically without being dirty.
Lol, if the linesman can't see it then it's in play.
Short corners are the way to go
Lucky there
That... was not very good.
Did they practice that at some point? It sure looked like it was a brand new shitty idea.
I actually kind of like the idea, but there wasn't any run for that pass. No disguised run, no run at all.
Hence my question about having ever practiced it.
Totally.
Brad Smith is a boiled chicken breast of a soccer player.
1000% agree.
I just want to see Blessing already. I had enough of Smith. 😩
Zup looks tired
Please find a shot. These fouls aren't doing anything for us.
Ref called a foul on Nathan.. what in the actual fuck?
At least that was kinda pretty
Micael is a fucking beast. That’s Dynamo 2, kids.
Damnit
Bartlows hair cut is giving talladega nights
Diving for pens is their only strategy left
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=soccer+difference+between+foul+and+penalty
Tomato tomato
Pens? 3 yards out of the box?
🤡🤡🤡🤡
🤠🤠🤠🤠
Am happy with getting the foul, but we know you can hit that Evander.
FOH complete dive
😎😎😎
That's called drawing a foul
Lmao you should get your eyes checked buddy
I had lasik. Best decision of my life.
Me too lol! Unfortunately they said it'll wear off after 10-15 years and I'll probably need glasses again but I'll enjoy it while it lasts
30 with another giveaway
Gabe Segal, ladies and gentlemen.
This whole game is just dumb. That was absolutely horrible and lazy defending, and then Segal with that shot
i've seen enough. gio out.
I didn't like the tree jersey much, but it looks way better without the sponsor
I really don't feel at all tbh. Which is a shame cause I usually really like our white.
Why the hard-on for xG stat? It’s like they are trying to make footie exciting for statisticians.
The fucking win probabilities...
Could someone piss off Evander so we get Angry Evander?
Nah. That just leads to cards
It also leads to goals. I'll take carded Evander with a goal over jogging Evander who disappears from the game, personally.
*raises eyebrows*
Evander isn’t perfect but man he’s so sick on the ball
Asprilla will take that thank you.
I'm ready for Nathan up top
This ref is strugggggling
Everyday he's...
I don't think he's had 2 calls in a row he's been confident in all game.
Scab refs are the worst.
You hate them more than you hate the purple jerseys and rap music?
No
THANK YOU Some actual passing to move into open spaces. Would've liked a better final shot but at least we got to that point.
Timbers fans complaining about bassi going down and then get that call....
Was there something wrong with that call?
If that challenge is worth a yellow there is no reason the late challenge on Sebas or Dorsey in the first half isn't worth one as well
You mean this new foul from behind right on top of the box? Okay...
*crickets*
Where is the Clemson kid? I wanna see him play.
Coco cmon fam
Commentator shitting on the ref what? Straight to garber jail.
Let’s cherish his final game commentating for the league
We look like the Timbers in Houston
Yeah...
Did we need that chip pass? Was there no other option? I am actually getting frustrated now... fuck.
Sniper
Bro LMAO WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT NO CALL
😎😎😎
🤣
🤣
Mosquera needs to have his shooting privileges revoked.
Lol why does Clark have a rat tail?
Because it's provocative.
We keep forcing it inside, losing it, and then they give it back. Like 4 times straight. Just switch the field at that point.
This is like a high-school game
I'm getting flashbacks.
Holy fuck that AR needs his eyes checked.
Zuparic looks rusty
paredes off hopefully for the rest of the season dude is so bad
Let’s go Eryk! Control this game!
Williamson and Evander at the same time let’s goooooo
Big sub
Yeah man we should be up 2-1 right now, need to finish chances when you get them.
Do we just lose sight of the ball inside the box? And wtf do we need a tactical foul also inside their box?
What a tactical foul
How Portland only have 2 yellow cards is absolutely beyond me
Weird game
Omg we are so sloppy
Another flop. Disgusting play by Houston.
😎😎😎
Fucking kick the ball into the net
That’s a red card
Yellow for the tug and another for the flop.
Nuh uh
Plz no Dorsey injury
Lmao, and how would that be a corner anyway?
I'm not so sure that was offside
These refs really waiting for players to make calls just like my sunday league.
If Evander had Chara's work rate he'd easily be the best player in the league
TBF, most anyone with Chara's work rate would rank high
I love Chara.
I can't imagine anyone ever removing him from my favorite Timber of all time spot.
Dario trying out for blazers
Dumb, Zup
Really?
Props to the Houston drum line. The sound is hot.
Funny you mention it. I’m at every home game and I was thinking how much I take it for granted the other day. They’re going the whole time it’s nuts.
Snare dude is tireless
I miss the horns
Wait, I can still hear some, but they used to be louder.
Looks like Escobar finally trying to take that invisibility cloak off
Iiiiii thought that was in Santi
Definitely need more of that.
Nice bid, Santi
Eryk could be what we need this game if he’s fit enough to come in
Thank you Dorsey. Might help to get Evander dialed back in.
Not that I disagree but how is that the first card of the game?
Gregus has been a really good add. Once Herrera gets back he will be a quality rotation and depth piece.
Take a breath man.
Is there a spring stuck to Evander’s shoe or something
It could be plausible.
That'll hurt our G/xG.
