For those who don't play EA Sports' FIFA video game regular, then world of FIFA Ultimate Team – the world that defines the eMLS competition – may feel as if from another planet. One this episode of Breaking Lines, the Portland Timbers' eMLS athlete, the newly re-signed Edgar Guerrero, walks us through how to set up a FUT team, the best way to get as competitive as possible as soon as possible, as well some of his highlights from 2019 on the eMLS circuit.

New host Judah Newby sits down with Timbers play-by-play man Jake Zivin and soccer analyst Joe Slevin about Cristian Paredes being named to MLSsoccer.com's 22 Under 22 list, the announcement of the Timbers home opener and more.

Well into his fifth offseason in Portland, Thorns head coach Mark Parsons makes his Breaking Lines debut to talk about his offseason routine, the depth of coaching talent in the NWSL, and how his life changes with changes at the United States Women's National Team. Also, Parsons talks about the relationship between the NWSL and its main supply of talent (the college game), why the world has not tried harder to replicated the midfields Jose Mourinho used during Parsons' time at Chelsea, and the qualities and scarcities of the world's two most sought-after types of talent: elite strikers and world-class No. 10s.

Hosts Tom Kolker, Jake Zivin and Richard Farley talk about the MLS offseason and check in with Miami Herald soccer beat writer Michelle Kaufman and Drake Hills of The Tennessean about the new MLS teams: Inter Miami and Nashville SC.

Diego Chara is fearless on the soccer field, but outside the lines, the Timbers mainstay is afraid of water.

On this episode of Breaking Lines, we catch up with Portland long-time midfielder before the main part of his offseason, one which will see him and his family return to their native Colombia for the first time in three years. We also get Chara's lessons on fatherhood and take him through the would you rathers that occupy his co-workers at Providence Park.

Larrys Mabiala has quickly become one of the Timbers’ most important players, establishing a presence along the backline that transcends his two-and-a-half seasons with the team. During that time, both on the field and off, he’s become one of the team’s cultural cornerstone, providing an example both on the field and, for a team where facets like fatherhood and balance are disproportionately important, off.

On this episode of Breaking Lines, we talk to the veteran defender about his current offseason, his parenting style, the importance of belief, as well as fashion, with Mabiala beginning this week’s conversation by trying to help our helpless host.
