Oct 19, 2024; Seattle, Washington, USA; The Portland Timbers celebrate with the Cascadia Cup after the match against Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field. Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images This is how important the Cascadia Cup rivalry between Seattle and Portland is: Both teams used heavily rotated lineups in midweek games to make sure they had their best players ready for Saturday’s matchup at Providence Park.
The Sounders (5-4-4, 19 points) had a five-match unbeaten streak snapped with a 4-0 loss Wednesday at Los Angeles FC while the Timbers (6-3-4, 22 points) played to a scoreless draw at Real Salt Lake.
“From a physical perspective, the guys who are going to start the game (Saturday) will be fresh, ready to go,” said Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer. “You always run the risk of when to make changes. The lineup we put out against LAFC had good success against them the first time (a 5-2 victory March 8 in Seattle).”
Seattle’s Danny Musovski, who came on as a substitute in the 57th minute Wednesday, had a five-match goal scoring streak snapped.
The Timbers pushed hard in the final five minutes at RSL, but were unable to get on the board.
Coach Phil Neville said he expects the intensity will be much greater Saturday.
“It’s a derby game. Got to be brave, got to be aggressive, got to show our qualities,” said Neville, whose club has lost just once in its past 10 league matches (5-1-4). “We’ve got to go out there and play our game and raise the intensity from the other night.”
Neville said forward Kevin Kelsy (lower body) is doubtful for the match and goalkeeper James Pantemis (leg) is “50-50.”
Timbers captain Diego Chara is getting ready for his 36th match against Seattle, more than an MLS season’s worth of games.
“We know how important it is for our fans and the club,” Chara said of the rivalry. “It’s going to be the first for some of the players, but they have experience in their own countries playing Clasico games.”

Baltimore Orioles fire Brandon Hyde as manager amid dismal start
<!--> The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday after a dismal start to the season by a team coming off two consecutive playoff appearances.The Orioles are 15-28 and in last place in the AL East following a loss to Washington on Friday night. Hyde guided the team through an extensive rebuild and won manager of the year honors in 2023, but Baltimore’s performance slipped noticeably during the second half of last year, and the Orioles have put themselves in a significant hole so far in 2025."As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility," Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said in a statement. "Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a different course for the future. I want to thank Brandon for […]
Děsivá nehoda. V Imole letěl Cunoda vzduchem

Japonec ztratil v páté zatáčce, kde před 31 lety zemřel Ratzenberger, kontrolu, dostal smyk a začal rotovat.Jeho monopost se při nárazu do bariéry odlepil ze země, málem přeletěl zátarasy a spadl zpět do štěrku. V tu chvíli musel být Cunoda vděčný za takzvanou svatozář, díky níž nedopadla celá váha vozu na pilota a jeho odkrytou hlavu.Jezdec po hrozivě vyhlížející nehodě vystoupil z auta bez pomoci a ihned mířil na zdravotní prohlídku. Tým na sociální síti X potvrdil, že byl Cunoda z péče lékařů propuštěn bez vážných následků.„Júki byl po bouračce na zdravotní kontrole u lékařů a naštěstí byl propuštěn ze zdravotního střediska,“ uvedl Red Bull.Jeho vůz dopadl o poznání hůř. Kvůli rotaci a rychlosti nárazu utrpěl poškození ze všech stran a mechanici Red Bullu budou mít přes noc spoustu práce, aby byl na zítřejší závod připraven k použití.Jde o další nepříjemnost pro Japonce a celkově druhého […]

Patriots 2025 NFL schedule: Observations, notable quirks, predictions for all 17 regular-season games
Getty Images The New England Patriots may be on the doorstep of finally crawling out of the basement in the AFC. After consecutive 4-13 seasons and failing to reach the playoffs in four of the last five years, things are looking up in Foxborough. This offseason, the Patriots brought in Mike Vrabel as head coach and went on a spending spree in free agency, which fetched the likes of defensive tackle Milton Williams, wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Carlton Davis, among others. New England also solidified key areas of need in the NFL Draft, most notably selecting LSU left tackle Will Campbell No. 4 overall. All that paired alongside promising second-year quarterback Drake Maye at the helm, and the Patriots are suddenly a sleeper pick to reach the postseason in the AFC. Now, we know the exact path Vrabel's team will go […]
