As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month, we recognize the Coast Salish peoples, the original stewards of the lands and waters we call home.

Their history and traditions continue to shape the spirit of our region and remind us of the importance of respect, connection and community 🩵

Not overly thrilled to have Frei between the sticks for this shootout… I really hope he proves me wrong

Come on Brian, time to make that goalkeeper sub…

That run from Musovski was damn near perfect. I hate how good St. Clair has been

If this match goes to penalties, I wouldn’t hate if Schmetz pulled a Louis van Gaal and made a goalkeeping sub

Jackson Ragen and the Sounders getting lucky there 😅

By the time the World Cup comes around, the 2026 MLS season will be four months in. They’ll be in mid season form so this seems pretty ideal to me
Barring a loan/transfer Alex Freeman, Diego Luna, Jack McGlynn and Matt Turner won’t play another competitive match until late February 2026 — four full months from now. Not ideal for the #USMNT heading into a World Cup.

Football is saved!
La Liga has cancelled plans to play a Villarreal vs Barcelona league match in Miami.

Chris your squad finished 21st in the league. It’s not negative to cover a bad team and say they’re bad. Keep up the yeomens work of covering a club and caring more about them then the owner of said club @burgundywave.bsky.social

This is a handy blocklist that you can subscribe to for all those recently created US Government rage-bait accounts.

Thanks to @eva.computer for making it and @jmmurf.bsky.social for sharing it.

They’re baiting you folks. This is bait.
I expect they're going to break records for the number of blocks on here

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

WAR RAVAGED PORTLAND?! What an absolute fucking joke.
Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

I know the orange fat man has no actual say on where matches are played, but it’s ridiculous how quickly the government is turning our hosting of the world's greatest sporting event into an absolute joke.

I hate it here.
Trump threatens to move World Cup games out of blue cities due to "crime"

GEORGI GOAL!! That run from Danny Musovski was EVERYTHING. 20 goal contributions in all competitions this year

I understand why Nouhou thought having a go was a good idea considering how much time and space he had, but also, like why? lol

“I watched the replay, but the thing with VAR you can slow it down and stop it at the actual moment where his foot was high but he hit the ball before he even came close to Pec. At end of the day, we don’t control referees. I’m not holding anything against Nouhou.”

HE FINALLY DID IT
DeRo has been so good, but man, you just know Musovski would have finished those chances…

Yeimar and Ragen bailed out by Cristian 😅

Certainly didn’t like that

This is actually embarrassing. They could have gone up to Spencer’s Butte and had people hold scarves with Eugene in the background, partnered with the University of Oregon, since it’s only blocks away from the stadium, or using literally anything else in Eugene would have been better than AI.
USL Eugene, now known as Sporting Cascades FC, used AI in promotional images.

I tried to ask about it, they blocked me.

The upcoming USL League One team is seemingly deleting comments of anyone who brings it up on Instagram.
