A special week continues with a special edition of Breaking Lines, this week featuring four ex-players' unique perspectives on the best rivalry in Major League Soccer.

For the Seattle Sounders, Brad Evans was a cornerstone in midfield and defense as the team established itself is a perennial, while eventual Timber Steve Zakuani was, after joining the Sounders in 2009, one of the most dangerous wide attackers in the league. And from Portland's perspective, midfielder Ryan Pore helped usher the Timbers from USL to MLS, while Jack Jewsbury, after joining the club in 2011, wore the team's armband and help it build toward a first star.

On Wednesday, the four former Timbers and Sounders got together to talk early rivalry moments, the teams' place in the MLS universe, and what the rivalry meant to each of their careers.

For almost two months, the lives of the Portland Timbers' players were lived as snapshots. Whatever they were doing in mid-March, they were doing in mid-May as stay-at-home took effect. Last week, though, that changed, with the beginning of individualized training in Beaverton allowing soccer players to get back to their soccer field.

On this episode of Breaking Lines, we talk to Timbers defender Bill Tuiloma about that return, what his mindset was like in the last days of working out at home, how he's kept in touch with friends and family in Europe and New Zealand, and which Marseille teammates came closest to creating a Michael Jordan effect in l'OM's dressing room.

His connection to Portland goes back to the team's United Soccer League era, spanning from central defense during his time on the field to, now, the broadcast booth, where he works with Jake Zivin and Nat Borchers on the Timbers' broadcasts. On this episode of Breaking Lines, we track Ross Smith's path from an aspiring player in Guelph, Ontario, to Cascadia, where a second career with the game has kept him in the sport he loves.
