Sam, Alex, and Phuoc sit down to talk to the big man himself: Portland Timbers head coach Phil Neville! We chat with coach about how he and his family are settling into Portland, the bond he already feels between the city and the players, how he manages young players, and what he really thinks about Liam Ridgewell when they met on the field years ago.

Before all that, the STF boys discuss Portland’s rousing derby win over Seattle and forecast the stretch run of the 2024 season.

All that and more, featuring: Sam “he has a mic now” Svilar, Alex “the best ability is availability” Barnes, and Phuoc “Zuperman” Nguyen.
