Are you ready for the playoffs?! The Portland Thorns take on San Diego Wave at Providence Park tomorrow at 12:30 p.m.

The STF Crew discuss Olivia Moultrie’s well-deserved extension and how important this move from Jeff Agoos & the front office truly was (especially when she had a ton of other opportunities)

If Sophia Wilson comes back, the Portland Thorns could have one of the best rosters in NWSL. Phuoc, Melina, and Rocky all share their thoughts on chances of her returning in 2026.

The team finished as the third seed, thanks in large part to head coach, Rob Gale. The trio give him the credit he deserves for navigating a season filled with adversity, change, and so much more. He may have received a few COTY nomination votes as well...

The STF crew also previews the road match versus the Orlando Pride.

Returning to the microphones after a brutal month, Sam, Alex, and Luukas break down Portland’s first regular season loss in Seattle since 2017. It was a bleak loss that capped off a bleaker month for Portland, and left them with just one win in their last nine games.

What’s gone wrong for the Timbers? Is the 2025 season basically cooked? Does Portland have any hope in the playoffs (oh yeah — they qualified for the playoffs)? Listen on to hear all of that, plus: skydivers, sports-mageddon, a reference to the end times, and the scenario by which Portland can play the same team four times in a row.

Welcome back to Stumptown Radio - Portland Thorns Edition.

Unfortunately the injury and road woes continue as they dropped an awful 0-3 loss to NJ/NY Gotham FC to fall further down the NWSL table.

Phuoc also discusses his exclusive interview with President and General Manager Jeff Agoos and all the work that went into it.

Also, the STF crew addresses the Rose City Riveters’ post in regard to fan/supporter negativity towards certain players at Providence Park and how it must stop immediately.
