Stumptown Radio

<p>Oops, the Timbers suck again! (Or did they suck the entire time...?) </p><p>After a miserable attacking display in Minnesota, the STR crew drags themselves to the microphones to discuss another dismal loss. </p><p>Joined by Jeremy Peterman of Cascadia FC, Sam, Alex, and Luukas discuss what in the heck is wrong with this team's attack, and make an attempt to craft a reasonably sustainable identity for this team.</p><p>All that and more, including: Luukas' favorite word, the end of Alex's patience, Jeremy's tales of vehicular damage from Timbers training, and Sam processing his feelings about Ned Grabavoy &amp; Phil Neville in real time.</p>

<p>The Timbers... finally... won... a game! For the first time since February the pod squad sits down to discuss a Portland Timbers victory. There were emotions. There was VAR intervention. There was Kevin Kelsy making us first pump in the press box. There was much rejoicing.</p><p>Sam, Alex, and Luukas broke down the win, from Velde's opener to Kelsy's dramatic winner. Then, the gang dives into some of the discourse online around the win, and what the victory might mean (or not mean) for the future of the Timbers.</p><p>Come for the Costco banter, stay for the emotional processing.</p>

<p>The Portland Timbers lost... again. To the Vancouver Whitecaps... again. In shocking and humiliating fashion... again. And it's starting to cause some ripples which could have big ramifications for the team.</p><p>Sam &amp; Alex sat down to chat through the loss, and then parse through the comments Timbers GM Ned Grabavoy made to the media this week. Is Phil Neville on his way out? Why isn't any move being made now? Does Portland stand a chance against LAFC? The duo talk all about it in the latest episode of Stumptown Radio.</p>

<p>After the international break, the Portland Timbers return to action against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Sam &amp; Alex discuss how Portland <em> might</em> have started playing some decent soccer a few weeks ago, and what the odds are they can do it again this weekend.</p><p>Plus, the duo previews the upcoming slate of matches for PTFC. And folks, it might get a little bumpy.</p>

<p>A legendary rivalry win, a loss on the road to a maybe better than expected opponent, and a bounce back home win over the shell of last year's NWSL Shield winners: all in a week's work for the Thorns!</p><p>Emma, Sam, and Wilder react and break down to a trio of Thorns performances. How <em>great</em> was that win against Seattle? How worried are we about the loss to San Diego? How good were the Thorns against Kansas City, and my goodness what is going on with the Current? The triad of pod-talkers talk through it all!</p>
