First of all It's not basketball The Timbers forum is dead It's not in english it's rather epic i dont really even like football, but this was pretty cool
It was a crazy ass match. Two late equalizers, one for each team, once in regulation, and then once in extra time. The penalties were insane! Epic match!
Watched it live. That was as exciting as the first Blazer game I ever saw (a 2OT win against the Lakers in 1990). Super-intense finale!
So crazy! I didn't even know goalies could shoot penalty kicks. I bet it only happens one out of 10,000 games.
They had three chances to close us out where they missed subsequently after we did. Jewsbury kicks it over the bar, and then the dude after him for SKC does the same with a chip shot?? Kind of amateur if you ask me, exciting none the less.
I honestly don't know why he's still playing soccer; he's been the Timbers's version of Steve Blake since they joined the MLS.
What an insane finish! Oh, and Jesus Christ, men's soccer players are douchebags. Also, "Sporting Kansas City?" Seriously?
I initially though that, too, but I think on Fox Sports last night they mentioned it's actually close to the average when compared to leagues around the world. Pretty surprising. But yeah, some of those misses were cringe-worthy. Still, the drama in that game was a sight to behold and I'm glad I got to witness it live.
It's up there with Real Salt Lake, Columbus Crew SC, Toronto FC, Orlando City SC, New York FC, FC Dallas and of course the lamest name and franchise in all of sports, Seattle Sounders FC.
I watched it live on TV with my son. The entire game was a blast! That penalty shot SKC missed when it hit both posts was incredible! I've never seen that happen before. I play indoor soccer as a goalie, and coach my son's rec team. The odds of it hitting both posts like that is hard to imagine. Go Timbers!
