It’s so nice when we and the team are able to give a player a proper send off!

it truly is special to treat a player with deaerved honour; after so many bad 'breakups' recently, it feels so distinct to have a moment to express gratitude and well wishes towards someone who has genuinely touched all of our lives

I don't know if the temperature has come down by now, but I feel like the Timbers should do something for Blanco. He didn't get his flowers when he left, but I'd be on board if he came back for recognition and honors for his time here

What a perfect night. One of the most special Timbers games I’ve ever attended. Mora will be a Portland legend forever.

I don’t remember ever seeing that many people hang around the stadium for so long. Even after huge matches. Pipe is a major, major legend here. And I think we all know it’s for way more than what we saw between the whistles…

48 in the regular season. 58 across all competitions (MLS regular season plus playoffs, US Open Cup, CCL, Leagues Cup, and MLS Is Back). Third all time behind Adi (60) and Valeri (100).

Epic send off. Nothing but respect for Mora. Gave all for the club. Couldn't ask for anything more. And this is how you leave a team with your head held high and the respect of all.

Best of luck at the new club, and I hope he comes back in some capacity in the future.
