Soccer Made in Portland

These guys are best timbers podcast hands down. But fact that Oregonian decided to turn blind eye to timbers( didn’t replace Ryan as beat writer, and now demise of podcast), I’ve cancelled Oregon subscription. So 5 stars for the guys, 0 stars for Oregonian.money better spent where I can get Timbers news realtime (eg stumprown footy etc).

As a new-to-soccer fan, this podcast is super helpful for me to learn more about the sport! I am a Thorns fan and love the coverage of the team and the behind the scenes goings on. I don’t miss an episode! Both hosts are wonderful, but Chris could interrupt a little less and talk a little less to give Ryan some more space for his takeaways and opinions. Thank you for doing this show!

Been listening for years through many hosts and generally enjoyed the discussions. But I feel like the episodes used to be more insightful and analytical than they are today. A lot of that is the totally negative attitude of Chris Rifer towards the Timbers. Criticism is good and the Timbers have really struggled so far, but where is the analysis of the players, the positional set-up, the strategy? These days it is mainly, "the coach must go." Ok, the start of the season has been terrible, but what should PTFC be doing? How should the Timbers approach the upcoming game? That would be more interesting discussion than the sour and sarcastic takes that we get.

Oregonian needs to full support this podcast and the crew who work on it. Such great content and we need this Timbers coverage! Keep the pod going!
