Antony was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 41. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Portland Timbers make their move for Mauricio Pineda

$2.7M on the table at Chicago Fire. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Window shuts: 15 in, 0 out at Portland Timbers

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 15 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $540.0K for D.J. Taylor

Portland Timbers have gone to Minnesota United FC with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Kevin Kelsy stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kevin Kelsy and Portland Timbers agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words exchanged at Portland Timbers

James Pantemis and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Portland Timbers beat the market to Morris Duggan from Minnesota United FC

Minnesota United FC will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Morris Duggan has pre-agreed a move to Portland Timbers, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Portland Timbers rebuffed over Emi Ochoa

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cruz Azul have kept their man, and Portland Timbers go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Portland Timbers supporters have found a favourite in Alexander Aravena

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Alexander Aravena has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Diego Chará has been here 15 seasons

639 appearances across 15 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Portland Timbers rebuffed over Matt Freese

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. New York City have kept their man, and Portland Timbers go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Antony signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Antony commits to Portland Timbers for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Portland Timbers

James Pantemis and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Kevin Kelsy runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match1 Aug 2026

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 90 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Portland Timbers had all but put away. San Diego Football Club will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Antony's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Antony takes the honours

Marked 7.93 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Portland Timbers had the best player on the pitch.

Squad3 Aug 2026

8 new faces, and Portland Timbers are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
