P/I/P Season 28 Game 5: LA Galaxy at Portland, 3/25/2023, 1:30 pm

we're winning a lot of 2nd and 3rd balls, good to see.

 

If we had finishers…

 

Chara gonna chara.

 

Man deserves an Oscar!

 

Ref called that because of Chara’s rep

 

I've been clipped on my ankle. It doesn't take much to make it hurt, though.

 

Did Puig just fix Gaston's coif???

 

I hope you all get yourself someone who will look at you the way Puig looks at Brugman.

 

That's a PK

 

That would be a weak ass PK

 

oof

 

Has to be a PK. VAR is ********ing joke.

 

Wow...Gs with the great escape!!!

 

He did and very nicely.

 

i mean he got ball but it just looks like both players were occupying the same space.

tough to call.

 

It all balances out right?

 

Surprised we got away with that one!! 2nd look on that play very much made it look worse

 

I don’t think it was a pk because Caceres leg was swinging toward ball and then POR guy stepped in between to cause the foul.

 

that's kinda my take. Both players were just occupying the same space, caceres was technically ballside of the por player as he was going to ground, and the por player stepped between his legs. Contact looked incidental to me, as in both players just occupying the same space and caceres clearly got ball.

 

good effort by Puig.
I like that we keep tackling and stealing the ball in open field play. We're really not letting Portland develop anything of note.

 

Judd gives me an Alan Gordon vibe.

 

This has 1-1 written all over it. Lots of chances for us, but a lack of experienced forwards hurts.

 

1-0 win on a moment of Puig brilliance or 1-0 loss on an absolutely dumb mistake.
