It’s Day 1 of 3 for West Ham Week at Green Is the Color. where we’ll be revisiting our connections to the London club, with a special announcement Thursday! Today, thinking back to Clyde Best’s visit in 2023 for a special presentation and concourse mural unveiling. #RCTID

From my experience Phil Neville has always been very generous with his insights/answers, but I thought this was a really cool glimpse at his ethos for youth development and what’s rewarding to him about coaching - from his time w/ the Lionesses, Miami, and the Timbers. #RCTID

[Major League Soccer @MLS]

A perfectly placed header from Cristhian Paredes gives @TimbersFC the lead just before the break!
