Timbers sweep the Sounders! Recap & reaction to a signature 16 days for Portland

The Portland Timbers finished the regular season sweep of the Seattle Sounders, courtesy of a Brandon Bye winner. The tifo was excellent (and sent Brian Schmetzer into a crashout), the fish was gutted (also sending Brian Schmetzer into a crashout), and the Timbers notched two wins over the Sounders for the first time since 2022. Sam, Alex, Luukas, and Cascadia FC's Jeremy Peterman reacted to an oh so sweet 16 days of dominance over Portland's bitter rivals, and looked ahead to the Leagues Cup and the dawn of the Marti Cifuentes era.

Emergency Quick Take/Hot Take: Phil Neville OUT as Timbers head coach

On the back of one of the most humiliating and angst-ridden defeats Providence Park has seen, it's happened: Phil Neville is OUT as Portland Timbers head coach. How did it happen? Why did it happen now? What's next for the club? Sam and Alex broke it all down, as the latest era for the Timbers comes to an ignominious close.

Timbers get Messi'd in Miami - is the Phil Neville era coming to an end?

After watching the Porland Timbers get schooled by the GOAT in Miami, the boys take to the mics to begin what in all likelihood will be the start of the eulogy for the Phil Neville era in Portland. Sam, Alex, and Luukas outline how Portland lost in Miami, question substitution and rotation decisions, and lay out just why the current gaffer simply hasn't shown enough to remain the current gaffer. Plus: with just one game left before the World Cup break, what does the future have in store for the Timbers in 2026 and beyond? And stick around to the end to hear some genuine appreciation for a man who is likely losing his job - but loved the city of Portland like few others.

What do we need to see from the Timbers this weekend? (Hint: it's not just a win). Is there any way that anything less than a dominant win would be satisfactory? (Hint: nope).

Joined by Jeremy Peterman of Cascadia FC, Sam, Alex, and Luukas discuss what in the heck is wrong with this team's attack, and make an attempt to craft a reasonably sustainable identity for this team. All that and more, including: Luukas' favorite word, the end of Alex's patience, Jeremy's tales of vehicular damage from Timbers training, and Sam processing his feelings about Ned Grabavoy & Phil Neville in real time.

The Timbers hand LAFC their first loss in 2026, give Providence Park something to cheer about

The Timbers... finally... won... a game! For the first time since February the pod squad sits down to discuss a Portland Timbers victory. There were emotions. There was VAR intervention. There was Kevin Kelsy making us first pump in the press box. There was much rejoicing. Sam, Alex, and Luukas broke down the win, from Velde's opener to Kelsy's dramatic winner. Then, the gang dives into some of the discourse online around the win, and what the victory might mean (or not mean) for the future of the Timbers.
