Episode 90: 1 Wedding, 2 Home Openers, 3 Points

JP & Zippy are joined by Stumptown Footy contributor and Red Smoke Radio Co-Host, Tyler Nguyen as they discuss the Thorns home opener, what to expect during the Thorns World Cup absences, and why do the Thorns end up with some many un-drafted players on their squad?

Erin Jean lays down a sweet Thorns report and Zip & JP further discuss home opening day shenanigans— a wedding, flag wavers, Enchanted Forest TIFO, a sideline scrum, and what makes a bicycle kick a bicycle kick.

As well, a brief interview with Zarek Valentin about joining forces with Patch Patrol to raise money for this Ribbonz initiative fundraiser.
