In an episode that might feel like a second child to you, the Portland Timbers 2024 season is officially done — and it couldn’t go without one last piece of drama, right?

After a wild opening three minutes, Sam, Alex, and Phuoc dive into those Evander tweets, the fallout, and the response from Ned Grabavoy and Phil Neville. Then the gang breaks down the rest of the highlights from the 2024 season exit interviews from the gaffer and GM, including responsibility for the failure of this season, potential offseason incomings and outgoings, and hopes for the future of the academy.

All that and more, including: Alex’s roster strategy and breakdown (genius), Sam’s intro strategy (not so genius), and Phuoc’s frustration with the Timbers FO (relatable).
