lmao you were counting the seconds on their GK every goal kick, and you were VAR'ing pretty much the entire game, we saw you from up top. I agree with most of your observations, too.
However, I would like to say I am fine with this loss. If there's a team I'm happy we lost to, it's this one. Portland is a great team with solid players. We were missing our entire front line, and played half of what would be a B team. We held our own. We had some defensive mistakes in the back, but largely were dealt with. Our offensive efforts were entirely shit from start to finish, but honestly I can't blame them. When we're missing our entire front line, that's bound to happen. Last game Tinny had a wonderful game running up and down, but this time he wasn't able to properly link up as he has done previously because of it. Plus, coming off of 2 games on extremely short rest, I can't really fault the players, as up until about the 85th minute they were giving it their all.
...The one thing I am SUPER pissed off about is that Dome didn't use two substitutes. Parks wasn't playing well. At the 80th minute I would have stuck Haak on for Parks because, why not? Nothing to lose. As well, I would have taken sweat off and put Torres on and gone three in the back.
...I don't care what Dome would have done as long as he used all three subs. But he didn't. On short rest. with another game in three days.
