## Resource

Welcome back to the Rose City Breakdown. Happy Cascadia Derby week! Portland Thorns vs Seattle Reign is widely-regarded as one of, if not the best rivalry in all of women's sports. Although these special matches are typically played later in the NWSL season, it is now the home opener for the Thorns - Friday at 5 p.m. PT on Prime Video. Phuoc and Melina break down the Portland Thorns opening day upset at Audi Field versus Washington Spirit, and preview the massive Cascadia matchup against Seattle Reign. The duo discuss the impact of Jessie Fleming, M.A. Vignola, and Reyna Reyes. Also, give praise to Sarah Lowdon's work during the offseason and preseason to get the team ready. In Robert Vilahamn's debut nothing was going to stop him for being there for his time either, that's class and a powerful first impression, that will leave a lasting memory for many folks. And finally, our new segment... Melina's Corner is finally out where she shows clips to analyze tactics and key metrics for every match. *For those listening it to on Audio, please go see it on YouTube for full film breakdown and clips she uses. Who's our guest this week on the podcast? To preview the PNW clash, Sounder at Heart's Steve Voght joins us to preview the matchup. In our discussion, he breaks down the Reign's opening 2-1 road win over Orlando Pride, who will step up in the goalscoring department, underrated players to watch out for, what type of game to expect, and the key matchups that will determine the outcome of the derby.
