Marie Muller was an unused substitute. Vignola and Reyes were too good to take off. Incredible. #BAONPDX
Would you call that a SPIRITED performance? Certainly. Unbelievable defending and Moultrie scored the best chance of the game. Reyes MOTM, had Rodman attached to her HIP. #BAONPDX
Spectacular Reyna Reyes dive could take all the wind out of this game. Cackling. #BAONPDX
And here comes Sophia Wilson to strike the killing blow. #BAONPDX
McKeown got RINSED by that first touch. Not even sure if Moultrie completely meant it. DOESN'T MATTER, 1-0 BAAAANG #BAONPDX
They're just begging to be pressed based on how expansive this buildup shape is. Luckily they've been able to prevent the final shot. #BAONPDX
Drawing fouls around their own box to bail out these bad giveaways in their own third. Not a hot start by any means. #BAONPDX
First impression: these jerseys STINK #BAONPDX
Concerned. #BAONPDX
Did some thinking about the Vancouver-Seattle game last night. I think Cubas is the linchpin to Sorensen's system, and Vancouver's inability to account for his absence (or games where he's closer to liability than asset [CCC Final]) is their fatal flaw.
he's on so many drugs that physically feeling his bones is downright impossible by now
Portland's week-to-week inconsistency, explained by the head coach. #RCTID
Injury report for tomorrow. Bonetig didn't travel with the team to Houston. Caicedo is waiting for his visa in order to be eligible for selection. Bassett and Antony are questionable. Da Costa is clear. Bouzat and Antonio Carlos are suspended. Aliyu is questionable. #RCTID

This is really a Jets tweet above all else, but it applies to every other team I like.
"With the young players that we have, you're going to have ups and down. We need to make sure that the peaks and troughs become more shallow." -Phil Neville #RCTID
"I think we've seen that he's adapting to the league. He realized that he needed to continue to learn and we've continued to help him. He's a really good player and he's got incredible potential." -Phil Neville on Jimer Fory #RCTID
Phil Neville calls David Da Costa "a glue that links the defense to the attack." "He's got the real football intelligence to change the speed and intensity of the attack." #RCTID
Phil Neville says that Jose Caicedo has traveled with the team, but won't be available selection. He noted that the official transfer was submitted yesterday, and expects another "7-10 days" to get Caicedo a visa. #RCTID
"I expect big things from our team tomorrow." -Phil Neville #RCTID
"Defensively, we need to be better. When you're in the final third you want creativity, expression, and freedom. You can only do that if you're relaxed." -Phil Neville #RCTID
"There's lots of things that we can improve on. I want us to be a team with real intensity with and without the ball and play with the spirit we've shown." -Phil Neville #RCTID
"I think the big message this week has been to relax. This team wants to win so badly. They desperately want to impress and score goals. They're a hungry bunch. They're a brilliant bunch of players." -Phil Neville #RCTID
Still can't believe he won Defender of the Year.
Always relevant.
Trustworthy source. Ridgewell missed last weekend's game against Vancouver as he was getting certified for a UEFA Pro coaching license. That permit is required for any top-tier European head coach. Putting a "monitoring the situation" tag on this, uh, situation. #RCTID
Peace Prize winner
#WBA would be comfortably above the relegation zone (and RM would probably still be employed) if this team could simply hold onto leads and find a way to score a second goal to kill games off. Blowing games in this fashion is ingrained in this club's DNA by now.
Featuring a very important book. What do you think the title is referring to? Chances are, you're wrong.
