Rose City Red Card
The unfiltered Portland Thorns podcast. Marissa bleeds rose. Alan is from Seattle, which makes things interesting.
Every episode: what actually happened in the Thorns' last match, what it means in the NWSL table, and at least one rant that goes too long.
Adults only. Bring a drink.
