If the Timbers vs San Jose results stand, this has been the worst start (in terms of points earned) in their first 13 regular season games since 2012 where they only earned 13 points.
Right now, Timbers have 12 points going into the match and, if the current 2-0 loss stands, will finish 13 games with 12 points.
Yikes.

Awesome to see Borussia Dortmund flying, frustrated that the Spurs can't get it together, and 🤷🏻♂️ re: the Timbers at this point. I feel sorry for the Timbers players but not for the ownership.
Number one need for #RCTID in this offseason: a new owner
Number two need: defense.
What we got: attackers
I will always be suspicious of any #woso coaches/staff who have romantic relationships with players, and yep, looks like that suspicion was once again warranted.
BREAKING: The Portland Thorns have fired trainer Pierre Soubrier and asst coach Sophie Clough. #NWSL investigations found Soubrier gave codeine to players w/o prescriptions, and Clough kissed a player’s neck during the championship celebration. #BAONPDX https://www.oregonlive.com/portland-thorns/2023/01/portland-thorns-fire-head-athletic-trainer-assistant-coach-following-nwsl-investigations-into-misconduct.html
#NWSL has announced corrective actions!
Notably Paul, Rory, Christy, and Richie are all banned for life, while others named in the reports can only be rehired if certain conditions are met.
Also, the Thorns have been fined $1 million, and somehow they're allowing Paulson's pledged $1mil donation to satisfy this fine.
Also also the sale of the club appears to be a required part of the NWSL's corrective action against the Thorns.
