In late January, Major League Soccer announced a partnership with Polymarket, where you can now bet on the league's games.
42 days later, it handed lifetime suspensions to two players who had bet on their own MLS games, a case being investigated since October...

Good morning from Timbers training. Juan Mosquera, Antony, and Alex Bonetig are training on the side. Cole Bassett is inside the facility during drills. David Da Costa and Jose Caicedo are active participants. #RCTID
Is it time for FW Ari Lassiter to be in the starting lineup? #RCTID
"Every time he comes onto the pitch there's more service into the box, the Timbers are getting into more dangerous positions."

Great discussion of Neville and the Timbers lack of consistent identity/patterns of play in the first segment.

As Tim Geithner likes to say, plan beats no plan. So I guess the strategy is whatever Israel is trying to achieve until we actively decouple from that.
Is Phil Neville on the hot seat π₯π?
The Portland Timbers have not looked good to start the MLS season (and didnβt end last year great either), but whoβs more to blame, the talent or the coach?

Long term view of MLS home field advantage across history from @eliotmckinley.com (a must follow).
