Will the Cascadia Cup belong to Vancouver for a third year running? The test starts this weekend.
It’s derby week in Cascadia! Portland travels to Vancouver this Saturday for the first PNW rivalry match of the year, and the Radio Cascadia crew has a full preview for you!
Ed Pham previews the Timbers side of things, commenting on their wide play and the importance of keeping Pedro Morales quiet. Graham Tooke joins from Vancouver and emphasizes that the Whitecaps will need to possess better than they have of late, or face a dangerous Portland counter as a result. It’s the first chance for the Whitecaps to defend their back-to-back Cascadia Cup titles, while the Timbers look to win it for the first time since 2012.
Ari Liljenwall of MLSsoccer.com stops in to talk Sounders, previewing their match at FC Dallas. Can Seattle stop Castillo down the left? Who slots in for Marco Pappa? Ari and Steven give their take, and also review S2 vs. Sacramento Republic and the latest Sounders roster moves.
Listen in to Radio Cascadia Ep. 36 for the best previews of this weekend’s derby, and drop by next week to hear us break down all the action!
