Michael McColl of AFTN joins to try and make sense of Vancouver’s weekend disappointment. How did the high-flying Whitecaps fall so flat against 15-man Portland?

Portland MLSsoccer.com beat writer and Prost editor Matt Hoffman chats with us about the other side of the derby. We praise Ebobisse’s big performance and rate it amongst historical performances from other young Cascadians in derby matches. The win itself was one of the biggest away upsets in Cascadian MLS history, and we spend plenty of time recapping it from the winning perspective. Our Texas Week coverage concludes with the group desperately begging Matt to assure everyone that Cascadia’s futility in Houston will finally come to an end on Saturday.
