After a midweek game that the Thorns won (but probably shouldn’t have) and a weekend game that the Timbers lost( but probably shouldn’t have), the STF crew takes to the mics to break it down — with some special guests!

Joined by Spotrac’s Taylor Vincent for the first segment, Sam, Melina, and Phuoc break down the Thorns recent run of results and prognosticate how they can turn it into something sustainable. And in the second segment, Sam, Phuoc and Cascadia FC’s Jeremy Peterman talk through the “bad half, good half” Timbers and debate whether this weekend is a must-win game.

All that and more, including: Melina’s mind-blowing meme & gif game, Taylor’s analytical deep-dives, Phuoc giving Phil Neville what he asked for, Sam’s mispronunciations, and a legendary rant from Jeremy at the end that you absolutely must hear.
