An up and down week saw the Thorns lose at home 3-1, and then win at home 3-1. What does it all mean? Are the Thorns cooked? Are they fixed? How do they navigate the rest of the season? The Stumptown crew takes to the microphones to figure it all out.

Plus, the crew talks through Alex Morgan’s retirement and reflects on her impact on soccer in the Rose City, in the USA, and around the world.

Including: Wilder’s new Spanish stardom, Melina’s “Optimism Corner”, Phuoc’s harsh but necessary truths, and Sam’s dislike of long competition titles.
