    These guys are the best, what a combo. Tons of weekly content (especially with the subscription). You got the politically correct Timbers insider with Susman and the more direct, independent and critical Booker, love the balance. Tons of knowledge inside and outside of the league.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS POD PREVIEW: Cifuentes' favorite Timbers, Da Costa revival, and more!
Q: Which players do you think will benefit the most from Cifuentes' system? Which players might not fit as well?
The hosts suggest that players with strong technical ability in midfield and distribution will benefit, while some defenders and goalkeepers may need to adapt, with Costa highlighted as a major beneficiary for his tempo and ball progression.
Can the Timbers repeat last week's success against FC Dallas?
Q: Obviously, one of those players will be in that game, and it will be on the other side for Santi Moreno. But Adam, let's talk about the main man in the Timbers attack, Christopher Velda.
Velda is expected to return to the lineup, likely on the left with Lasseter, and his pace and ability to stretch the defense remain key; if he's on the left, he should be a major threat, and the pairing with Velda and Lasseter could be explosive if Velda is used effectively in transition and build-up.
Previewing the Timbers' showdown with San Jose
Q: What are the key matchups to watch for the Timbers?
Watching the Timbers' fullbacks against San Jose's pace on the wings (Kukanovic and Ricketts) and how Vieira and Boleru control the midfield will be crucial; the Timbers' ability to win wide crosses and limit set-pieces will likely decide parity in the game.
Previewing the Timbers' showdown with San Jose
Q: What makes this San Jose team tick compared to last year?
Abram notes a smoother defense, a high-pressing, wide-focused game, and Ronaldo Vieira anchoring the midfield, with younger players stepping up and a strategic shift that reduces vulnerability in transition.
Can the Timbers build on momentum against RSL this weekend?
Q: What can the Portland Timbers potentially exploit in this RSL side that they haven't looked strong on in recent weeks?
The Timbers can target RSL's vulnerability in defense, particularly on aerial balls and decision-making in the back line, while leveraging midfield overloads to create chances for quick transitions and exploiting RSL's tendency to concede late goals when pressed high.
