This week, Matt, Richard and Scott finally get together to talk about our upcoming opponents in Group F. This is a breakdown of the LA Galaxy, Houston and LAFC and how we think the Timbers will match up against them. This episode was originally recorded last week, but we had an error with the recording that ruined the audio (so it was re-recorded this week). Since it was re-recorded, Aaron wasn't able to make this one but was with us in spirit (and notes).
