Radio Cascadia turns its attention to midseason review, broadening our lens of analysis to reflect on the year up to now. We break down our predictions from the beginning of the season and see which ones held true (and which ones didn't!). Comparisons between the expectations for our clubs at the start of the year and now spawn discussion questions on Vancouver's transfer policy, Seattle's tactical shift, and Portland's meteoric rise over the last six weeks. 

The MLS season goes by quickly- if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it. Take a look around Cascadia with us on Ep. 49.
