The Portland Thorns got back to their winning ways against the Courage, but lost Sophia Smith for their rivalry match — in incredible fashion. Sam, Alex, and Wilder got together to break down the win and talk about Portland’s chances in Seattle without Smith and without Sam Coffey.

Then in the second segment, Sam and Alex chat through the Portland Timbers’ 0-0 draw in St. Louis. They heap praise on Zac McGraw, King Pants, and Claudio Bravo, and then dive a bit into Evander’s MVP bonafides using an old friend as comparison.

All that and more in this episode, including: Wilder’s tattoo bet, Alex’s facial expressions, Phuoc’s newest hype train, and Sam’s love for a certain former Timbers forward.
