PBP: Rapids @ Timbers • Weds., Sept. 15 • 8pm

A halftime factoid..

Watching Tuiloma get booted from the match made me think of New Zealand football, which made me think of Anthony Fraudson, which made me think of New Zealand footballers who Anthony wanted the Rapids to acquire... such as the Fijian footballer who played in NZ (Roy Krishna). Remember Anthony's magic striker? (in the rumor mill re: Rapids pursuit of him).

Well, I just checked, and Krishna is now in the Indian league. His market value plummeted from then too. But I bet he wouldn't been magic for the Rapids! (especially with the Hudson attack!)

File under "FWIW"

 

Bassett just forced a save guys! He’s hitting the ball the right direction again!

 

It STILL would've hit the post if the keeper didn't get it.

 

Woof, Andre

 

Good passing sequence ends with Lewis converting! 0-1 Rapids

 

Oof, gave it right back

 

Why are Barrios and Acosta still on the bench? Blood in the water. 10 men. Close this out. Go get 3 points!

 

Really need some subs to win this game

 

Esteves with two bad give-aways in quick succession, no? (or was that not him on the second?)

 

It’s pretty disappointing that Portland’s best 15 minutes, by far, have been in the 2nd half, down a man.

 

I'm smelling a draw...

 

Desperately seeking a moment of skill.

 

Our chances of a winning goal would increase significantly if our guys could put their shots on goal...

 

Ridiculous. Goal of the week. Goal of the Month!

 

Abubakar has missed multiple marks today.

 

Barrios kicked the ball and it wound up in the net. I don't know how that happened. 1-2 Rapids

 

F’ it. Goal of the year.

 

Pure luck.

 

Not sure that's what you meant, but we'll take it

 

100% blind(ish) luck

 

That sucks.

 

And we give it back. 2-2

We don't deserve better. Why is nobody defending off the ball?

 

For all the complaining about our lack of offense tonight, its our defense that failed us

 

How did we possibly dominate the first half, go up a man…and then find a way to get outplayed for the majority of the second half? How does that happen?

 

Rosenberry with the worst play of the year. Wow.
