Say what you will about the concept of “Heineken Rivalry Week” but credit where it’s due: Sometimes it results in some pretty cool #content. There might not be a better example than a series of posters that includes an absolutely awesome one depicting the moment when Cristian Roldan made Sebastian Blanco pee himself (just a little) during their meeting a few weeks ago.

In case you’d forgotten, that Noah MacMillan-designed poster is based on this image:

The poster — like all of them in this series — was inspired by Roldan, who called the rivalry “fiery” and “unforgiving.”
Even before this exchange with Blanco, Roldan had already made his imprint on the rivalry. In just six career MLS appearances against the Timbers, Roldan already has two goals, including the game-winner in their last meeting.
