Soccer Made in Portland: Recent Episodes
The Oregonian/OregonLive
A weekly Portland Timbers and Thorns podcast hosted by The Oregonian/OregonLive's beat reporter, Ryan Clarke, and supporter and longtime blogger Chris Rifer.
It has been a rollercoaster of emotions in 48 hours for fans of the Portland Timbers and Thorns. The Timbers got trounced in Houston; the Thorns pulled out a signature, 2-1 win over North Carolina despite being down a player for nearly the entire match; and coach Giovanni Savarese and the Timbers parted ways. On this week’s episode of Soccer Made in Portland, co-hosts Ryan Clarke and Chris Rifer break down the Savarese firing and what it means for the Timbers’ future. Later, they revel in the Thorns’ resilience (and greatness) as the reigning NWSL champs enter the home stretch. And for the final half hour of the show, a special guest: Thorns and Canada women’s national team forward Janine Beckie jumps on the pod to discuss her recovery from a torn ACL, analyze the 2023 FIFA World Cup, articulate Canada players’ fight for equity, and more.

It wasn’t just the Portland Timbers and Thorns who took some time off: Soccer Made in Portland co-host Chris Rifer did, too. Although he was running, eating and sipping his way through Italy. A familiar experience for co-host Ryan Clarke, save for the running. On this week’s episode, Chris and Ryan examine what can be gleaned from the Timbers’ form in Leagues Cup, and the storylines heading into the final 11 matches of the 2023 season. A potential dynasty hangs in the balance for the Thorns with just seven matches to go in the regular season, and they are getting some of their World Cup participants back ahead of a battle for first place on Sunday vs. North Carolina.
