LMAO RIP CARSON.
You guys did fantastic. When the season started I assumed it'd take a season for Gio to adapt, but Portland was legit good and deserved to make it this far and maybe even win.While disappointing, I don't think anyone, myself who is die hard RCTID included, thought we'd make it this far. I'm extremely excited to see what Gio can do in year 2, especially now that he actually is able to put input into roster change decisions. I'm worried about Valeri and Chara though.
Thanks. It's weird. I grew up never really giving a fuck about sports but I always kind of loved soccer growing up when I was forced to played it. I was super bad at it. I first moved to Portland from New Mexico after I graduated college, and I happended to move into an apartment literally right across from the stadium. I went a few times to try and meet people and make friends, and while I didn't make friends there I kinda fell in love with watching Timbers games. It was before they were in MLS, and it's what really got me hooked. I'm in my mid 30's now, and I moved to that apartment in like... 2006. Fuck, man. I still love this team. Something about them is just us, you know? Kinda hard working, kinda underdog, kinda brilliance at times. I love my Timbers. I'm proud of them for making it this far, when nobody, myself included, expected them to get this far. I'm fucking RCTID and I can't wait to be home at our renovated stadium next year.You guys did fantastic. When the season started I assumed it'd take a season for Gio to adapt, but Portland was legit good and deserved to make it this far and maybe even win.

Detroit City Football Club today announced that DCFC and head coach Ben Pirmann are parting ways on good terms.
A search for Pirmann's successor is currently underway and the club has convened an advisory group to assess a large portfolio of qualified candidates to manage its professional roster in 2019. There is no immediate timeline for naming a new head coach.
Pirmann assumed head-coaching duties in 2013 and led Le Rouge for six seasons, compiling a 49-17-17 league record.
http://worldsoccertalk.com/2018/12/...ers-on-fox-for-atlanta-triumph-over-portland/FOX's coverage of the 2018 MLS Cup Final between Atlanta United and Portland Timbers averaged 1.5 million viewers on the over-the-air network, an increase of 10% compared to the last time a MLS final was televised on the same network two years ago when Seattle defeated Toronto FC, thanks to a report by Showbuzz Daily.
It's Major League Soccer's second best viewership on record for a MLS Cup Final. The previous best was 2.2 million that watched the 1997 MLS Cup Final on ABC.
The viewing number for the 2018 MLS Cup Final does mask what has been largely been a disappointing year for the league's TV ratings. For the 2018 regular season, viewing numbers were down on both ESPN and FS1. While the viewing numbers were up for the over-the-air FOX network, it was only because they aired the games immediately after World Cup matches when TV sets were left on. On the Spanish-language side, ratings were way up on Univision Deportes, which helped boost the overall numbers.
The disappointing viewing numbers continued into the MLS Cup playoffs and semi-finals. The Conference semi-finals saw a 4% drop in viewership on English-language television when compared to last season, averaging just 240,125 on FS1 and ESPN. Viewership for the Western Conference Final was down almost 10% dropping from 326,000 average viewers in 2017 to 295,000 average viewers in 2018. The Eastern Conference Final was down 7% and 21,000 viewers from the 2017 edition.
Despite all of the doom and gloom for Major League Soccer, the league now potentially has a team that can be appealing for soccer fans to watch nationally. Whether Atlanta United can continue to win the hearts and minds of soccer fans across the United States, we will have to wait and see (especially after losing their star coach Tata Martino to Mexico, and rumors of their top players heading to Europe). But there is a strong foundation in Atlanta that could dominate over all of the other MLS clubs for years to come, thus creating a powerhouse in the league.
