Stumptown Radio

Four points, three games, two birthday goals, one hat trick (FINALLY) - it was a roller coaster week for the Portland Timbers. Sam, Alex, and Luukas chat all about it.Listen on to see which game stands out to the lads, how many of us also "would rather win 5-4 than 1-0", and why despite the flaws we are still legitimately excited for the future of Timbers soccer under Marti Cifuentes.

The Timbers draw LAFC, finishing off a decent three games in six days stretch which continues their steady rise in the standings. Alex and Luukas take to the microphones to react and break it down. What is Marti Cifuentes doing well, and what still needs to improve?Also, with the injuries piling up, what moves should Portland be looking to make as the transfer windows inches closer to closing? All that and more in this episode of Stumptown Radio!

The Portland Timbers finished the regular season sweep of the Seattle Sounders, courtesy of a Brandon Bye winner. The tifo was excellent (and sent Brian Schmetzer into a crashout), the fish was gutted (also sending Brian Schmetzer into a crashout), and the Timbers notched two wins over the Sounders for the first time since 2022.Sam, Alex, Luukas, and Cascadia FC's Jeremy Peterman reacted to an oh so sweet 16 days of dominance over Portland's bitter rivals, and looked ahead to the Leagues Cup and the dawn of the Marti Cifuentes era.

Sam & Alex sit down to pay homage to club legend Felipe Mora after his heroics rescue the Timbers one last time in Mora's final match with the club. Where does Mora sit in the pantheon of greatest Timbers ever? Alex has thoughts.Plus: would you believe that Portland just had their best three game stretch of the entire year? The boys break down what worked, what didn't, and look ahead to the return leg of the rivalry against 5eatt1e.

The Timbers returned to MLS play in absolute style, with a historic fish gutting in Seattle. Sam, Alex, and Luukas revel in the biggest victory Portland has enjoyed over the Sounders, and discuss what things can translate into the second half of 2026.Plus the boys discuss the now official hiring of Marti Cifuentes. What do we like about the appointment? What gives us pause? All of that and more in the triumphant return of Stumptown Radio!
