Talk Timbers hosts Judah Newby, Jake Zivin, and Liam Ridgewell preview the critical showdown against LAFC this Sunday afternoon at Providence Park—the Timbers' final regular-season home game with huge MLS playoff implications. They invite ESPN's lead commentator Jon Champion to the conversation, asking for his thoughts ahead of the nationally-televised game and what's going on with LAFC's Gareth Bale. 

Jake Zivin and Joe Slevin reflect on the TImbers' recent winning streak as the playoffs approach, the upcoming home game against Minnesota United, and call on special guest Liam Ridgewell to take us behind the scenes during the Austin FC weather delay. (Nachos were scarce.) 

Timbers star midfielder Sebastián Blanco then joins the show to talk about how the Timbers are getting it done: "Sometimes, you know, it's more about playing nice, playing [with] beauty. Everybody loves that. We love to [do that]. But sometimes, you just have to play well and... help the team in every moment."
