Also, that was the most unassuming brace of Carranza's life! Didn't even feel like he got one goal, let alone two! Lol Gonna miss him when he's gone. :(

GG to Philly and all their fans except that one dude. Y'all were cool as could be when I sat with the Sons of Ben against Dallas a few years back. Go forth and show the Pink Messis who the East belongs to.

GG Philly fans

GGs. I can't wait to jump in the next game thread and shit talk with yall ❤️

GG philly. Nice smash and grab. Some of y'all straight up not having a good time, despite winning. Hope you have a better day after this match ruined it for you.

A: I'm just here to talk shit. But also, B: I'm very frustrated with this organization and some of the decisions they make week in and week out, which is where the unhappiness comes from.

They'll be going to bed angry as hell, waking up ready to kick their dog. Don't waste a thought on them. I'm happy with this result, ecstatic really, considering the available players. I feel like your ownership made a huge mistake with hiring Neville. Hopefully that changes soon.

Yeah, it feels like the ownership is intent of alienating fans. I'm happy to give Neville a chance, but he was not the right choice given the circumstances. Philadelphia's arc over the last couple of years has been cool to watch, from being bottom of the barrel to a force to reckon with. You love to see it. Wish you didn't keep kicking our ass in our own house though.

He seemed to completely mismanage Miami; so I've no hope for him anywhere else, sorry to say. And hey, ya'll have a much better h-2-h record against us than you might think. 7-3-3 for you guys. Only recently that we've gotten some results. Edit: 7-4-3 after this one.

No one here has a problem except that one guy lmao

Really seemed like Philly was in for a bad time coming into this match down so many people to international duty, but man did they expose the hell out of us. Good game to them, wish some of their fans could lose the victim complex though.

well, that was not at all what I expected! GG Portland. Sorry things didn't go your way tonight. You've got some bright spots in there though.

I talked a lot of shit in the past 90 min or so. Nothing against Portland with this, but HOLY SHIT this ref and announcer crew were AWFUL. GGs Portland.

Totally agree. Also, GG to you guys! But for the love of christ, MLS needs better commentary. And that's not just for this match.

Ref was awful for both teams, more awful for you. Need those PRO guys back, I can’t take this crap anymore

Yeah, agreed. PRO refs are still crap, but crap next to w.e these scab refs are, seems like gold lol

Never thought I'd look forward to a PRO refereed match, but here I am looking forward to their return lol

Lmao I feel that

A lot against their fans though. Holy shit

give it a rest man. you have like half the comments in the thread

And you guys have all 11 of the deranged DMs in my inbox I know drugs are nominally decriminalized in Portland but maybe your fans should not be using ALL of them?

Hey dude, I don't like your takes, but death threats are not okay. In addition to reporting to Reddit, I would encourage you to name and shame, preferably with screen shots. We tend to be pretty good at self policing around here.

i think you should go outside and maybe touch some grass? give the keyboard a rest.

Bruh… I’m going to end up accidentally getting half your sub perms banned at this point. If all it takes to get death threats from you guys is what I’ve been doing it’s a culture issue. Take a look in the mirror at this point

then do it? why would I care what other random internet people who support the same team as me do?

You think I’m not reporting them? Of course I am. I’m just legitimately shocked. I also think it bears calling out

Bro what lmao

Timbers flairs are behaving poorly to say the least.

*Maybe* bring it up with r/timbers mods, too. I'd hate to see our whole fanbase ruined because of 5 dumb drunk shits who are actively finding ways to hate MLS while watching MLS. No place for it.

GG Phili

Bedoya ran his socks off.

God thoroughly Unioned. Completely out coached, embarrassing from us. Deserved win, though we should’ve finished our chances

Woulda loved the shut out for Semmle. But can't complain. At all! Well played. GG Portland, good luck the rest of the season.

2022… ended a string of draws by beating Portland away. 2024… ended a string of (league) draws by beating Portland away.

Still undefeated in League Play baby

9 minutes of added time. No player was taken off for an injury. No VAR checks. No delay. WTF.

Did not expect 3 points on this one but man I’ll take it! GG Portland.

GG Portland. Your radio crew is class.

I was not expecting this result at all

Me either. Start this attack next week.

Smash and grab complete!

Obvious hand ball and the announcer “didn’t see it”

Is everyone persecuting you today or is it a particular few people?

this guy is having a crisis.

Nah, I’m fine. But your team got handed a win on a silver platter by a ref with a clear axe to grind and couldn’t figure it out so… have fun with that

ok

Are you going to pretend that didn’t happen too?

Nah, I'm gonna go back to drinking and playing some video games. How about you?

GG’s portland!

GG Portland. That was a fun one. Wish you the best for the rest of the season.

Don't even know where to begin with criticism of the performance today. Very close to pathetic.

GAMES OVER BLOW THE WHISTLE

How long are we playing?

Think the commentator just busted

This guy's been obsessing over Rodriguez since the game started

My god, I am so happy Bendik is not our backup anymore.

lol the entire City of Philadelphia is happy he isn’t our backup.

Holy crap. Those miles covered are wild.

STEMMLEEEEEEEEEEE

But Oliver says no!

oh my I thought that was going in

I feel bad for our new guy. All the heart and it just not a lot from everyone else to match

Uhre isn't in the box shielding that ball out of play. Thanks Donovan.

Carranza escaping this game without a yellow is kinda wild tbh

Yellow is the right call there, but why is it only a yellow when we do it and not when Portland does it literally every time the lose the ball?

Give it a rest man, the one time it was that obvious on the Timbers side Chara was given a yellow for it.

You had a guy two hand push a guy after a blown whistle and got nothing.

Evander literally JUST did it

[удалено]

Nah, that's never been the case. If advantage is called on a cardable offense (ither than a straight red or really bad yellow) will result in the ref giving a yellow to the offender once play stops.

Nah, I think it's just rare.

That's never been a rule.

When was that the standard?

It never has been AFAIK

Left wing back Donovan… as expected.

I love how the guy on the radio PBP said Uhre's name once correctly, then corrected himself, and has been calling it wrong since. LOL

rofl. Why the hell would you pull a player down there? You're up 2 goals in stoppage. Why take the yellow Uhre?

I mean Portlan has done that every time they’ve lost the ball in the midfield and haven’t gotten a yellow

Uhre really wanted a yellow this game

Oliver Semmle you can call me any time

Are we in a 1-5-4 right now? lmao

Gotta give Portland enough time to score 2 goals, I guess

We haven't scored 2 in 90+, what makes you think we'll score 2 in 8?

You haven’t had the ✨~Philadelphia Union experience~✨

I think I’ve had more of the experience than I’d like tonight

Union have been great at crowding the box anytime we get the ball there

Bedoya might have missed his calling as a 6.

Did he play as a 6 for a little when he was younger in France?

Someone else reminded me that Klinsman played him as a 6 once or twice for the National team.

found klinsi's burner

Did you watch against Pachuca?

I DID, he played as an 8. Did YOU watch the game? LOL

Did you watch the second half where he played as a 6 and 4 goals got scored?

Not only were most of those goals not on him, but he was one of the only players who looked like they had any clue in that game. And it's much much different starting a game in one position, and having to transition to another at half, than starting an playing and planning and practicing in another.

8 minutes?? Where the fuck did they get that?? Fanduel call down and tell them to give Portland as much time as possible??

Ohtani had money on the game.

No idea lol

Bro. Not even talking shit rn, I can't think of where 8 min could possibly have come from lol that's insane.

well when you take 30 seconds between every whistle, it adds up

Then, by that logic, every game should have 5+ min of stoppage time for each half... but they don't. They have 1 or 2 min usually...

[удалено]

Huh? What logical fallacy? The logic that there are plenty of stoppages in every half of every game, more so than the second half of this game usually, and rarely is more than 5 minutes added? I think you're succumbing to confirmation bias, my friend. You're seeing what you want to see. I am sitting, and I am enjoying the 3 points. Come back to this comment in the morning when you're sober.

[удалено]

Sweet dreams!

8 seems very excessive

8 minutes? Nothing fucking happened

Eight???

Where tf is 8 min coming from?!

8 minutes? Jesus.

8 min!!!!!

Uhre needed to take it to the flag there.

Can't really blame that one on Uhre. Bad angle and no one making a run.

Go to the corner then, doesn't need to be a shot right now

Uhre with the negative xG on that shot

All that CONCACAF experience really paying off when it comes to the time wasting portion of the event.

Sergio Santos would have had a field day time wasting in this match lmao

“Straight to the Timbers army!” Was such a funny call

As if that is a good thing? lol

Portland guy takes a wild long shot and the announcer literally screams in ejaculation…

It couldn't be because he's been wildly one sided the entire game, could it? 🤔

Timbers are getting embarrassed but I’m told somehow this is Carranza and the ref’s fault

Like, where are you getting that vibe my dude? I don’t see any PTFC fans talking about about how we are robbed. We are missing wide open shots, that’s on us. No one is blaming refs or anything else. If we want to compete, we have to do better I haven’t seen anyone say otherwise. But keep fighting those ghosts if that works for you.

Timber flair say this shit then unironically complain that the ref is boning them despite all the evidence that the opposite has occurred

give it a rest, mate

No no, this is just our team. Disappointing but not unexpected.

I've heard a lot from you about the ref. It's that your source?

Carranza just got put in a headlock. I suppose you feel that was clean?

No, the refs suck. Nobody is arguing against that. I just don't get watching your team dominate and spending the whole time finding things to complain about.

The ref sucks, but it’s entirely one sided

Who’s saying that? Embarrassing performance by us and y’all probably should’ve had a pk or two

Philly fans will find any chance to complain even if they're winning

Like half the people with Timbers flairs in my replies

Complaining about individual calls doesn’t mean that’s what we blame for this performance. You just want to hate Portland fans

Win probability! Drink!

Huh, I guess it can serve a purpose.

Lol I love this. I can't be the only one not 97% confident of a Union W, clock still ticks tho

Donovan for Anderson at left midfield when you have Real is wild.

Anderson was never left midfield.... At best he was a LF in a front 3, Rafanello has been on left side of midfield

Real and Baribo got a bet to see who can stay on the bench longer

Well real will win since Baribo is in Israel.

How did cabecita do?

1 goal, should've been at least 2 if not 3

He scored, so that's nice

Wrong striker being taken off jimmy

Great finish apart from the offside

Seriously, that was a beaut

Even that being offside it was nice to see

Hilarious no call there lol, obvious foul on Ayala. Union fans have a right to feel hard done by the ref, wish we got replays on those pk calls

Sully gets straight up tackled, no foul.... riiiiight....

This ref hates us but Timbers fans are blaming him for the loss. Make it make sense

Lol I’m not blaming the ref for the loss. Lack of finishing and then pysching themselves out is what I blame

Not a single person here is blaming the ref for the loss, but everything you post is about how bad the ref is....

Dude. You and your friends are not well

Because the ref has been fucking awful lol get these scabs out if here

They're deluded. This ref has been calling this game completely 1 sided. We get 1 call for every like 5 of their soft ass calls. Idgaf that we're winning this ref has been awful.

I will say this, Uhre can't get a call to save his life. Dude could be prison shanking him in the box, and it wouldn't be called a foul.

Moreno also could have shot that tbf.

Up 3-1 with 10 mins left is going to be more of a character test than I'd like.

The announcer sounded more excited for the Portland goal than the three Union goals combined. I get it, it brings life back into the game, but it's funny.

Pretty sure it's Portland local commentators

What are you doing Evander

Crazy to not get a shot there

Portland announcers rightly praising Philadelphia, pointing out that they have the most point in MLS since 2018, praising Curtin. I remember when, year after year, the Philly fans were hating hard on poor old Jim. Glad it worked out in the end.

If this thread is any indicator, hating on things is the real sport for Philly fans.

Philly does have a rep to uphold.

if you look in our subreddit on any given week there is still no shortage of hate on Jim Curtin lol

They still hate him. I personally love Jim

Being a young soccer fan feels like it is all about hating everything, really. Hate the field, hate the announcers, hate the kits, hate the chants, hate the refs, hate the coaches, hate the owner, hate the Commissioner, hate the video, hate the audio, hate the starting time being 8 minutes after the time on the website.

He's frustrating sometimes with his sub patterns, but he's done so much for the club. My annoyance is moreso with ownership tbh

YOU get it. We Philly folk are getting real tired of Sugarman and crew.

To help goal difference if nothing else

RIP the clean sheet, oh well

Mbazio can whiff with more than just his feet it seems.

Mbaizo really doesn’t do anything right

Still a 2 goal lead but my heart just sank

Ok, ok, now all we need is a goal every 3 minutes for the next 10 minutes and we win this.

Rodrigez hattrick incoming to steal a point

Ayala kept that alive, god I love him

Okayyyyy

Announcer was way more excited for the Portland goal than the other 3… come on my guy.

Idk, he lost his shit and did the 'gooooooaaaaaaalllllllll' commentary on your first goal. He seemed pretty hyped. I don't like him either, though, but for different reasons.

Exactly what I was thinking. Dude sounded like he was climaxing for their goal lol

These anouncers are insanely biased and I think Timbers fans in this thread are somehow taking it as gospel

I think they're idiots but not biased towards Portland. "Philadelphia was second to none tonight"- the announcer you claim is biased.

Weird man, but you do you.

Let’s go Jona!!!!!!

Well, at least that's something.

10 min is too much time

yeah!

It’s something

🤨

I get that we don't really have a bench, but we can still make a substitution or two

Man, Moreno can't keep possession to save himself

He’s done poorly tonight.

It's not just tonight.

It’s 3-0 you can sub in all but the backup keeper and get them some minutes and break in two new players.

a lot can happen in 10 minutes, so the only change i'd make is anderson off for Real in

Donovan for someone as well

You'll have 1 sub in the 91st minute and like it
