Radio Cascadia

League play returns following the hiatus for Gold Cup Group Stage play. We preview our clubs' midweek slate, which seems a positive chance for points for all despite call ups affecting each of the three. Attention then turns to this weekend's derby as the Timbers travel to Vancouver. Michael McColl joins to talk Whitecaps as well in an action-packed Ep. 117. 

Ari, Andrew and Steven preview the fourth Cascadia derby of the 2017 MLS season. Michael McColl of AFTN joins to discuss Whitecaps' match in Minnesota this weekend. 

With a quiet week coming for our Cascadian clubs, we examine the big picture in Vancouver and predict the USMNT match against Trinidad and Tobago. 

Michael McColl of AFTN joins Ari, Jackson and Steven to discuss Vancouver's 2017 Canadian Championship prospects and an important league game against DC over the weekend. 

The group ponders whether Sounders' victory over RSL marked a step forward, or more of the same.

Prost Portland Editor Matt Hoffman calls in to shed light on Portland's 4-1 loss in Montreal, and then helps us take a look at the first Seattle-Portland derby of the year. 

A derby, a domestic cup, top notch analysis and some pizza. It's all in Ep. 113, tune in and get ready for a big week of action in Cascadia.

The gang sits down to discuss the roughest week of 2017 to date for our clubs, with two losses on the road and a measly home draw with an expansion club for us to chew over. We ponder where the Timbers fit in the front four in the West, take our first look at Bernie Ibini, and start to wonder if any heat will develop for Brian Schmetzer in an action-packed Ep. 111. Our clubs didn't come through for us this week, but we came through for you!

The RC crew opens up a jam-packed week of Cascadian soccer news by reviewing last weekend's derby between Vancouver and Portland. Why did the Whitecaps start so slow again? What did we learn about Timbers' bench? Is Montero the biggest figure in Cascadia now? We hit these questions and more as we discuss our second rivalry game of 2017. 

Player salaries were released this week, and we go over the biggest steals and worst blunders on two of our clubs' rosters. (We'll take a look at Seattle next week on Ep. 109!) Can you guess how many CM's the Whitecaps are paying 6-figure salaries to? We couldn't! 

The big stadium news out of Portland gets plenty of attention. We go over its artistic merits and what it means for the future of the club. 

Lastly, with Radio Cascadia Live off this weekend, we both review Sounders' big 3-0 win in LA and preview their upcoming match with New England. Along with Portland's blockbuster trip to Dallas and Vancouver's to Montreal, we have three great games to get ready for before a massive Saturday slate of Cascadian soccer in Week 9.
