Portland Thorns: Playoffs Denied Again

The Stumptown Footy crew breaks down the road loss at Racing Louisville, playoff race, GM search, and the pivotal offseason.

Welcome to Stumptown Radio!

On this episode, Melina, Wilder, and Phuoc breakdown the Portland Thorns road loss at Racing Louisville. We talk about the starting XI, defense, and Rob Gale’s postgame presser. Former Thorn, Janine Beckie provided the game-winning assist to Taylor Flint who has scored 6 of her 13 career goals against Portland.

Portland, Bay, and Louisville are all vying for the final playoff spots. The Thorns can finish anywhere from sixth to completely out of the playoffs at ninth. We go over the remaining schedule for all three.

Scenarios:

  • Portland Thorns & Bay FC in with win/draw

  • Racing Louisville in with win and…

    • Bay FC loss

    • Portland Thorns loss and multiple goal win at San Diego Wave (GD)

What do the Portland Thorns need to accomplish in the postseason? The crew goes over the GM search (Mark Parsons’ potential fit), needs in the offseason, and more.
