Soccer Made in Portland podcast: A hiccup for the Thorns, a brutal ending for the Timbers

A fan holds up a scarf reading “No Pity” as the Portland Timbers face FC Dallas in an MLS match at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022.

While both the Portland Timbers and Thorns have kept their unbeaten streaks alive in recent weeks, the two teams are in very different form as the season winds toward its end. On this week’s episode of Soccer Made in Portland, hosts Ryan Clarke and Chris Rifer discuss the unfortunate finish to Saturday’s Timbers match against FC Dallas and reflect on the significance of the Thorns’ draw vs. North Carolina. After two weeks off from the pod, there’s plenty else to discuss as well, including the weather in Grants Pass!
