2025 season means new headshots. Can’t wait for the season ahead with my wolves 🐺

Being a Portland sports fan isn’t easy but I wouldn’t want it any other way

Interesting little data visualisation showing PTFC forward, Felipe Mora's stats on FBREF and recently linked to the Timbers, Kevin Kelsy's FBREF stats.

Mora is the clear leader on all stats attacking related, but Kelsy is clearly stronger in the defense and possesion categories. #RCTID thoughts?
