## Resource

Welcome back to the Rose City Breakdown - the only women's professional sports podcast in the city of Portland. The Portland Thorns are now four points clear in first place of the NWSL table. Melina Gaspar and I share our thoughts of the wins over San Diego Wave 2-0 and Chicago Stars 2-0. Who stood out and what lingering concerns are there? In Melina's corner, she highlights the standout play of Jessie Fleming and a few defensive details that needs to improve. The WNBA is finally back? For the first time since 2002, the Portland Fire are returning. Matt Bagley of Portland Supporter ( portlandsupporter.com ) and Sports Illustrated discusses the expectations for the team, potential starting five, which players to look out for, and so much more. https://bsky.app/profile/bagleysports.bsky.social
