Rimando gave up some tough goals in this matchup…but I still think he’s one of the best n the league. Rimando is a boss. Horrible commentating by the way. Let’s get some neutral commentators. Look at the ones from Seattle! They do a great job of being trying to be unfavorited.
I live in PDX and am Timbers green through and through. But I agree, John Strong is needs to go. I love him as a Timbers reporter for the website and even AM750 radio, but his play by play takes the sport out of the game and turns it into us-against-them WAY too much.
get rid of these announcers, they have no excitement to them at all
Even so – they could put some emotion into it.
Like “aw! Shocking defending! What WAS he thinking of allowing Beckerman to shoot there? Atrocious! Simply ATROCIOUS!”
Instead of “oh dear. A goal for Real Salt Lake. Now back to bed.”
Oh…and turn on the captions; it’s extremely entertaining. When Alexander strikes at goal, it actually says “…and I don’t use drugs.” Brilliant.
I know they just did renovations last year…but is it possible to expand Jeld-Win?
Rodney Wallace is Costa Rican.

The spanish announcers never do that….that’s the south american ones. The Spanish ones go GOL GOL GOL GOL GOL GOL GOL GOL GOL.
oh goodness
Wow these are possibly the worst announcers I’ve ever heard…
These announcers need to calm down a little when RSL scores geez…LOL
its says portland timbers soccer in the beginning
What?! Beckerman hit that ball perfectly commentator. Your a poor sport and a thoughtless terd
Well, you can go listen at kall 700 sports. They popped a mic on Nagbe’s second goal as well as Steele’s, so there’s your bias.
why is there a costa rican flag in the army?
massive fan of mls, but christ.. the announcer would be more suited to be a funeral commentator
This is from ROOT sports. It is for the Portland local area. This is not a national broadcast. John Strong is a great announcer!!!

what the F was Beckerman doing?
Hate to break it to you bud, but Montreal have an announcer just like John Strong. Its the MLS, though, so get use to it. PTFC
Thats John Strong. He’s been Portland radio announcer since they were in the USL
this is going to be a long season 🙁
It’s the home broadcast. RSL has their own as well.
Root Sports is a Northwest network…they were of course favoring the Timbers.
I know what you mean. I haven’t felt comfortable watching a game yet this year! ha ha.
