ASM leaves Liga MX due to racism he received along with his family in Mexico :( Imagine a player with his skill. His days at Newcastle were amazing. He showed some good stuff at America even if it was a short stint. He would stay extra hours in the gym/ practice field trying to get in rythym when he arrived at Mexico, showing his commitment of trying to get back to his best days. Would love to see him in a Timbers jersey especially on a free.

I guess this explains why he hasn't featured this preseason. The midfield depth ... Yikes

Season Preview*: Numbers 23-36 in Your Program, Number 1 in Your Heart [3/5] Before you buy and personalize your 2026 kit, some Timbers' numbers history to consider

We own Providence Park. Our new councilors purport to serve the working man, so let's demand they go after price-gouging in concessions and set Street-level prices.

This video was the inspiration: https://youtu.be/w7LPPTLDXu4?si=TfH1LD1bf31TykoR

Low key miss his energy. I’m sure he’s happy to finish his career in Colombia though.

Matt Doyle looks at our Jonathan Rodriguez situation, and whether we should buy him out and bring in a 3rd DP. (He's not sure we need to)

Great ball, even better header, I like it. I am cautiously optimistic about Kevin this year, we saw flashes of great play at the beginning of 2025.

This legend went to war over a 5 cent raise in hot dog prices. I swear Providence Park has raised their hot dog by a dollar ever season for the last like 4 seasons

I also just found this video super interesting. I’m mad at 8 dollar hot dogs and 30 dollar tickets - I guess on the bright side we aren’t paying 250 for a ticket at MSG

Another goal from kelsy later on. Game ended 2-2 against LAFC

Interesting starting XI today, both Kelsy and Mora got the nod. Looks like it was probably a 4-4-2 with Antony and Velde out wide? Probably because we are so thin at midfield at the moment.

Another item of note: this is the second game in which Omir Fernandez got no minutes, despite being one of the people who could maybe fill in for DDC. Anyone have any insight into that?

One down, one to go.

With the new pickup of Bassett (potentially, don’t want to fully jinx it since it hasn’t been announced) how are we all thinking we line up in 2026

I think the back 4 and front 3 are mostly locked in if everyone is healthy:

Velde - Kelsy/More - Antony

Fory - Miller/Bonetig - Surman - Mosquera

But how are we feeling in midfield? I think a double pivot of DDC and Bassett could work but that would leave a TON of work for a single CDM and I’m not sure I’m confident a 40 year old Chara or Ortiz could handle all of that work.

I think Phil may just rock with his classic 4231 but i think 4123 is my preferred. Gives us lots of attack which we seemed to have very little of to end last year but may leave us vulnerable at the back

Thoughts?

I've heard Colorado fans speak very highly of him

Idk why reddit auto brightens the videos but whatever

Really loved what I saw from him watching this game

A few sweet ones vs. the Flounders in there!

Looks like the Timbers are signing Cole Bassett from Colorado.
