Double Post Podcast

The audio quality for this episode is as poor as the Timbers' final performance of the season at Real Salt Lake (hint: really bad). We discuss the pros and cons of a weird season, as well as some roster implications and club news. And, as always, we answer your lovely listener questions.

P.S.: Go Thorns!! We recorded this before the final, but congrats on championship no. 3!

On this episode of the Double Post Podcast, we discuss the investigation results (very bad), a loss to LAFC (also bad), lineup decisions (spoiler — bad), and the Timbers' playoff scenarios and chances. We also answer your questions, as always. Go Timbers!

This episode is long and mostly off-topic. We apologize in advance. We do actually cover the Timbers' miracle draw in Columbus, but we also cover these other topics: crests, hatred of the European market, failing classes (but still graduating), fantasy Premier League, the Western Conference playoff picture, 🎲, the recent USMNT roster, and much more.

Four straight wins for the fifth-place Portland Timbers and we're still not 100% confident they'll make the playoffs. Such is MLS.

Portland did beat Minnesota 1-0. We're here to recap every big moment (and some of the small ones, too) as well as answer a TON of listener questions.

Thanks for listening

The Portland Timbers are... good? Lucky? Plucky? Whatever it is, they're winning 2-1 for a third straight match. We go over the Austin FC and Atlanta United games, as well as each player's role int his squad. We then do a deep dive into the playoff picture out West, looking at the teams near Portland in the standings and who they have left to play. We also chat about recent USMNT developments.

Cheers!

The Timbers defeated Seattle for the second time this season, this time 2-1. The Cascadia Cup is ours once again!

The Portland Timbers drew the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-1 on Sunday night.

Most importantly, we answer your listener questions, including multiple tangents about food.

Like, subscribe, rate 5 stars, whatever, peace.

The Portland Timbers did something really great: they beat their arch-rivals in their own stadium. Badly. 3-0. On their special day. That they planned just for us.

:)

We were both in attendance, so we give our thoughts on the game and day that was. We also answer your lovely questions and find a few minutes for frank discussion about the Timbers' playoff chances.

Yes, this is a full two hours. Cheers.

In which Charlie and Reece discuss graduating college, the Timbers losing to Inter Miami, expectations for the rest of the season, most likely outcomes, Gio's job security in a disaster scenario, transfer window possibilities, the USMNT, and the Champions League Final.

A much lower tone for this episode given a fresh pair of Portland Timbers losses in less than a week's time. We go over the results, deep-diving on the Philly game. We also talk Gio's job security, VAR, a little bit of Inter Miami preview, and expectations for the rest of this season — in addition to answering your questions, of course.

Reece was too busy to record (school sucks), so Charlie's trying out a solo show. He uses it as a chance to rant about Portland's roster, the Nathan signing, the front office, Timbers media dynamics, school, and how to consume MLS media.

We're back talking about Portland's latest matches (spoiler alert: they were boring). We also discuss the "PTFC for Peace" charity match and the small bit of joy it brought us amid these dark times at the club. We also had a ton of listener questions, mostly about the striker position.

Topics include cocaine, the quarters system, and Fanendo Adi. Go Timbers!

Yes, we know this is late. Yes, we know it's under an hour. No, we still don't have an answer at right back. We discuss Portland's disappointing loss to the Galaxy but make our feelings about the team general and less-specific to the match itself. Therefore, **IF THE VANCOUVER GAME ALREADY HAPPENED, THIS EPISODE IS STILL RELEVANT**. We also discuss Nima Saghafi and the World Cup Draw.

We break down Portland's 1-1 home draw against Orlando City SC as well as the USMNT qualifying for the World Cup. We also touch on Portland's upcoming match against the LA Galaxy. Segments include "whoever draws the penalty should take it" and "a shot for a bike" — Enjoy!

The Timbers beat a team from Texas and got destroyed by another team in Texas. Rants include: our rec soccer goalscoring records, USMNT injuries, Timbers right backs, MLS TV ratings.

The Portland Timbers drew LAFC 1-1 Sunday night. We go over the highs, lows, and in-between moments. We also had a plethora of questions: Who will start at left back? How can the Timbers get Jaroslaw Niezgoda more involved? How many bicycle kick attempts will Dairon Asprilla have this season? Also, don't miss Reece's ferocious rant about a certain player.

The Portland Timbers drew last year's Supporters' Shield winners 2-2 last Saturday. We give our takes on the match, diving into both general and super-specific analysis. Who played well? Who struggled? Why is our center forward playing winger? And did Yimmi Chara just score the goal of the year in game one??

We also touch on the USMNT and lament the upcoming absence of Weston McKennie.

Hey. Bet you didn't expect to see this. We're back!

The Timbers lost to Club América :(   but it's ok! They tried!

Charlie almost forgets how to count again and laments the fact that the Timbers didn't advance. Reece goes off about referees and Kai Havertz. We both lose respect for our favorite statistical ratings system. Long story short—you won't wanna miss this episode.
