Stumptown Radio: Portland Thorns Edition | Valerin Loboa signing and summer window reaction, nightmare loss to Utah Royals, and goalkeeping decisions
Description
The Portland Thorns just made their biggest signing of the secondary transfer window with the acquisition of Colombian international, Valerin Loboa.
Phuoc, Emma, and Rocky discuss the summer window additions of Loboa, Julie Dufour, and Laila Harbert. Did the team do enough to compete in 2025 or are they looking ahead to 2026?
After back-to-back losses at home to KC Current and most recently, Utah Royals, the trio react to the nightmare loss to the 14th ranked team in NWSL.
Is it time for Rob Gale and the Portland Thorns to make a change at goalkeeper and settle on a starting backline?
What do they expect for the rematch against Racing Louisville?
