It’s not every day your arch-rival has one of the most catastrophic meltdowns in MLS history, but the Portland Timbies did exactly that in the Wild Card round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. We break down the fine points of their 5-0 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps, Evander’s postgame tweets and Phil Neville and Ned Grabavoy’s blazing hot press conference.

After that we go through our playoff brackets and make our picks on who we think will make it to MLS Cup.

Portland Timbers stink!

The Seattle Sounders but we still threw together an arguably-too-long pod, starting with going over this year’s 22U22 rankings. We then tackle the end-of-season awards discourse, with Ari realizing mid-pod that he was going to change multiple of his votes. Those two things took up pretty much the whole thing, but we briefly preview some Decision Day action and shoutout Obed Vargas for his first senior El Tri cap.
