Here on Episode 28 of Defenders of the Banc, Filly and the Scarf are in beautiful Portland, Oregon to help the Timbers open newly renovated Providence Park! The boys in Black and Gold christened the new surroundings nicely, leaving with all three points in a fantastic 3-2 win. The Defenders recap the great game and a great city, including the incredible food and beer scene, the soccer culture of Portland, and a few of the tourist attractions that make Portland so much fun, and weird. The episode has all the classics, including This Day in LAFC History and their "Wait, What?" moment of the match. We recount another amazing Vela goal, a bicycle kick, our first beer showers, and watching the Champions League final with about 200 other Black and Gold supporters. Portland, it's been fun! Thanks for being such great hosts, and for the three points! A big thank you to all of our Defenders out there who listen to our pod each episode. Our next episode will feature an interview with Javi Perez, recorded about 10 days before his unfortunate ACL injury, so stay tuned!
