WoSo Zone NWSL Preview Episode on Portland Thorns

2

Kieran Theivam and JJ Duke's quick analyses of each NWSL team and their upcoming season is really great. The Portland Thorns episode includes a really great interview with Portland's favorite defender, Emily Menges, as well as some great discussion of Portland's potential in the season! Theivam's point about Parsons's consistency (he's three for three on bringing teams to the semi-finals in the NWSL) is really an excellent point, and should make every Thorns fan excited about the coming season!

Portland's native son is on top of the North American soccer broadcasting game, but he still somehow got roped into going on ExtraTime Radio this week and giving a pretty wide-ranging interview.

Caleb Porter was interviewed on ExtraTime. I think people will be please about what he has to say about his offseason reflections and preparations for the coming season. In particular, he talks about the team identity and tactics, and what it takes to succeed in MLS.
