Soccer Made in Portland is coming to an end. At least for now.
On this final episode (unless they decide to randomly record again), Chris and Ryan reflect on the last couple of years and the importance of soccer journalism. Before that, though, the ... more
The Timbers’ attack is white hot, and the Thorns’ season has plateaued a bit heading into the Olympic break. On this week’s episode, Chris is back from his wedding and honeymoon to chat with Ryan about all things PTFC, including several games and tra... more
The Portland Timbers’ turnaround is rolling along, thanks in large part to improved defense and MVP-caliber play from Evander. How can Phil Neville’s squad keep this up?

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).
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 wh... more
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!
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!
Portland is my hometown and I have been following the two clubs for a decade, as long as I’ve been into football. I have been watching as many games as possible and try to catch as much news and analysis about how they’re doing even as I’ve moved away for school and work. It is hard enough to find people dedicated to covering Portland soccer, and especially the women’s team, as in-depth as you guys and I am highly appreciative of your work because in some ways, it makes me feel back at home in t... more
