In a super-sized episode, the Thorns are still flying after a rivalry demolition of Seattle, and Sam, Phuoc, and Wilder hop on the microphones to discuss it all, and Rob Gale’s infections “Kenergy”.
Then, Sam, Alex, Phuoc, and returning champion discuss something that hasn’t happened in over two months: the Timbers winning a soccer game.
All that in this episode and more, including: Wilder’s new wardrobe, Phuoc’s self-promotion, Alex’s homage to Eric Miller, Jeremy’s ideal future, and Sam’s scratchy voice.

Trying out something new folks: minutes after Portland’s 2-1 loss to Seattle, Sam, Alex, and Phuoc huddled around Sam’s laptop and recorded our raw unedited thoughts. We were upset, and uh, I think it showed.
The vibes were low and the audio was choppy, but group therapy is the best therapy.

It’s a big weekend for the Portland Timbers, and we’ve got a big show to preview it. Coming off of the worst loss of the season, the Timbers have to prepare for the Seattle Sounders to come to town. Sam, Alex, and returning champions and Adam Susman hopped the microphones to dive deeeeep into the Timbers’ form, what they need to do to fix it all, and their chances for a marquee win on Sunday.
All that in this episode and more, including: Adam reminiscing about his incredible first ever goal call (it was great), Sam reminiscing about his first ever game he covered (it was not great), Jeremy’s legendary metaphor-laden rant, and Alex channeling his inner Will Johnson.

After a midweek game that the Thorns won (but probably shouldn’t have) and a weekend game that the Timbers lost( but probably shouldn’t have), the STF crew takes to the mics to break it down — with some special guests!
Joined by Spotrac’s Taylor Vincent for the first segment, Sam, Melina, and Phuoc break down the Thorns recent run of results and prognosticate how they can turn it into something sustainable. And in the second segment, Sam, Phuoc and Cascadia FC’s talk through the “bad half, good half” Timbers and debate whether this weekend is a must-win game.
All that and more, including: Melina’s mind-blowing meme & gif game, Taylor’s analytical deep-dives, Phuoc giving Phil Neville what he asked for, Sam’s mispronunciations, and a legendary rant from Jeremy at the end that you absolutely must hear.
