Im glad MLS has found the next in line with Don Garber leaving. I know we all have some frustrations but I do think The Soccer Don has put MLS on a good path.

SCOOP: Larry Berg will be the next MLS commissioner. More coming at @sportico.bsky.social via me and Scott Soshnick 👇
The next few months will tell the story but dare I say, the change-ups and important decisions have been extremely positive. #RCTID
Waking up to schmetzer’s tifo meltdown brought me to tears before my eyes were even clear. God bless this day. God bless us everyone. #rctid

Not just in their MlS history … according to @frankmsounders.bsky.social they had never lost six straight in regulation going back to 1974.
Charles Boehm ⚽️@cboehm.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Seattle Sounders have lost 6 straight matches for the first time in their MLS existence, they seem to pick up another set of injuries every single game and next they have to play 3 Liga MX teams in 8 days, starting with North American champions Toluca @ 8,760 ft above sea level on Wednesday. 😬
Tonight is the 126th all-time meeting between Portland and Seattle. 44th in MLS. MLS Record: 16W-16L-11D (66GF, 64GA) Most goals for POR: Fanendo Adi- 8G Most goals for SEA: Raul Ruidiaz- 10G Timbers can overtake the Sounders in the standings with a win tonight🍿 #RCTID
🚨🚨🚨 EL MATADOR is in PDX for the match 🚨🚨🚨 Timbers legend & top USL striker Byron Alvarez is in town for the match! No USL Timbers player scored more goals--or scored more goals against Seattle in particular (7) than Alvarez. He's planning to stop by Legends around 5:30 if you wanna say hi. #RCTID

Jack Cassidy says that Kevin Kelsy just resumed full training today, and the team will "have a better idea tomorrow" about his status for Saturday's game against Seattle. #RCTID
My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.
This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”
The end of an era. #BresciaCalcio, the club that gave us legends such as Roberto Baggio, Pep Guardiola and Andrea Pirlo, has officially ceased to exist after 114 years. One of Italy’s most historic clubs is gone, but its legacy will live on forever.
Vincent Janssen will not occupy a designated player slot and may be in line to start against the Seattle Sounders Saturday night. https://mrf.lu/25tHG
Never like receiving cancellation notices but at least this one made us chuckle.

🚨🇲🇽 EXCL: Javier Chicharito Hernández has agreed to join Atlético Dallas, first signing ever for new USL Championship side. Chicharito will start playing from 2027 but will be contributing to the project immediately. 38 year old striker, set for new chapter. 🇺🇸
Still trying to fully wrap my head around the reality that the Sounders went immediately from a nine-game unbeaten run into a five-game losing streak.
Three changes from Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with FC Dallas: Mora, Velde, and Chara replace Kelsy (foot/ankle), Antony, and Caicedo. Sawyer Jura named to the bench in Kelsy’s absence tonight. #RCTID
RSL has a 1-4-2 record away from home. This is the kind of home game the Timbers need to get points from.
