Portland Thorns FC Subreddit

I think Gotham FC for three reasons.

1. They just beat us.
2. They have multiple former Thorns superstars like Betos and Sonnet.
3. I like their bat aesthetic.

What do you think?

Anyone know when noobs get a crack at season tickets? Been buying one offs this year and hoping to join the club for next year.

Overcomplicated Tier list:
S - Hina
A - Muller, Coffey
Started terrible, improved a ton - Reyes, Payne
Good as they can at their age - Sinc, Becky, Kling
Injuries, can’t judge - Weaver, Smith, Obaze
C - Moultrie, Hogan, Bench Depth.
Rough but I think it’s coaches fault - Fleming, Linnehan
D - Hubly, Arnold.
F - Front Office, Coaches.

Don’t think we can judge ownership until they pick a new GM

UDPATE: I’ve already renewed my membership based on the email deadline of October 31st. This question is specifically about re-locating/choosing seats, not the renewal itself. Last year, this step took place on October 3rd, but I haven’t seen the option for it yet this year. I am wondering if this will happen or if the new owners won't be doing this.

First, thank you Sinc, for all that you’ve given this beautiful game, your fans, your community. Your home sendoff was an incredibly special game, and I’d only wished we’d maintained that form in the playoffs. Cheers to your soon to be free time and looking forward to seeing what your next adventure turns out to be.

I’m very much glad this season is over. A failed start, new coach, early injuries, Olympics, bizarre trades - we can put this chaotic year behind us and hopefully do a dutiful search for a GM who can partner and align with our head coach to build a team around a cohesive strategy.

I’m sure in the minority, but I don’t think Rob Gale should get the boot…yet. I’d like to see what he can do with a committed partner as a GM and a solid offseason.

We had some talent that really stepped up this year (looking at you Payne and Muller), and some that really didn’t work out (Fleming, Linnehan, Moultrie). Don’t get me wrong, they had their moments, but Moultrie and Fleming spent much of the season running all over the field, holding the ball too long, or committing errant passes. Linnehan was kinda meh.

Very much looking forward to this next season, with Smith, Weaver, and Coffee guaranteed on contract, a new GM, and a solid break to get our house in order.

I am very upset after today's game, as I'm sure we all are...I was thinking though...If the Thorns don't make a change in coach, what does this mean for holding onto Coffey and Smith? Smith's contract is through 2025 and Coffey I believe through 2026? I don't know why I have this gut feeling both of them won't stay even if there's a coaching change!

Thoughts??? It would be a huge, huge loss to lose either one or both. Coffey has seemed to plant some roots in Portland, thoughnot so sure about Smith.

Morgan Weaver on Christine 🐐 Sinclair's Impact & Legacy

"Sincy's definitely been a mentor to me. I'm going to miss the s**t out of her... It's going to be hard for all of us. I think all of us want to make her proud. I want to continue wearing this badge & prove we're here for Portland."

Terrible offsides call that doesnt go to the ref looking under the hood. Defenders lose track of Rose in the box and Shelby overpursues going where she had coverage from 2 defenders....Can we now search for a coach and front office?

Defense looking pretty good. Too bad there’s so much defensive play. Scary.

So, with this (bay/spirit) going to extra time, are we essentially gonna miss kickoff of thorns game since it seems it's the same channel?

Really wanted that Bay lead to stand, a chance for a playoff home game!

Anyone know what time kickoff actually is? Like 12:00, 12:15, 12:30?

No real surprises here.

All For XI - Jessie Fleming is Ready for her NWSL Playoff Debut with Portland Thorns

“I think for me it’s adjusting to a new environment, new people,” said Jessie Fleming. “I’m definitely a bit introverted and take awhile to feel trusted and close with a group of people. It just comes down to me as an individual, adapting and continuing to ask myself those questions. That’s what I’ve done every day that I’ve been at the Thorns this year and that’s all that I can ask of myself. I show up in the same way every day. I work hard and I think I deserve the good form that’s come my way.I’ll continue to keep pushing and challenging myself to find new levels and try to contribute to this team in bigger ways.

Sam Coffey on being the underdogs against Gotham FC
https://bsky.app/profile/phuocerman.bsky.social/post/3lakeeokg322j

"We don't forget that feeling we felt last year at home. I think it's scripted perfectly that it's this rematch and now it's at their home. We have that opportunity to be that underdog, we've never been that before. I think the team is really embracing kind of that identity... I know the team's going to rise to the occasion. I just think it's scripted really perfectly. I know that feeling we felt this time last year is one that stuck with us the whole year... We're ready for it."

Jessie Fleming on her growing comfort with Portland Thorns & adjustment to the NWSL https://x.com/Phuocerman/status/1855385214928945248

"It's definitely been a bit of an adjustment. I've enjoyed it. It's been a good challenge for me. Of course happy to be feeling a bit more like myself & playing with a bit more confidence... It'll continue to be a bit of an adjustment. I want to keep asking myself how I can improve, how I can just keep approaching it as a challenge, & how I can contribute to this team as much as I can."

Or were we not tested. I think they looked improved and hopeful we have a chance tomorrow if our back line shows up in a big way.

I can't find a list anywhere, anyone know if there's any in SE?

I’m on a road trip, but would love to listen to the game tomorrow. Anybody know how I can do this? My googling hasn’t been promising… Thanks in advance!!

Opt out or not I don't think my card is getting charged.

Hi, I am curious if anybody knows what stores in Portland are selling the Parkside NWSL packs, or if any place has individual cards for sale. I can get them online, but it would be nice to get something that's already here.

Tuesday November 12th Sophia Smith is doing an appearance from 5:30-7pm @ the Xfinity store.

Do you sit in row A of Toyota Terrace 3? You often have UP swag on? We're the season ticket seats just behind you. The little girl with you last night left her pink water bottle in the seat cup holder. We picked it up in the hopes that you'd have a better opportunity getting it back by making a connection with us here or on Facebook than through the lost and found at Providence Park.
