Rose City
Red Card
The unfiltered Portland Thorns podcast. Match breakdowns, NWSL hot takes, and one rant per episode that probably goes too long.
Adults only. Bring a drink.
70 seconds. Hit play.
Portland vs. everyone
Rose City Red Card is a Portland Thorns podcast. Soccer. NWSL. All of it. One host bleeds Portland, the other is from Seattle. It gets heated. It gets loud. It gets real.
No filter
This is an adults-only show. We say what we think about the league, the refs, the coaches, and the plays. If you want polished corporate sports coverage, we're not it.
Portland first
Every episode centers on the Thorns. Providence Park is the 12th player and we never let you forget it.
Cascadia rivalry
Our hosts are split across the biggest rivalry in women's soccer. Portland vs. Seattle isn't just a segment, it's the DNA of the show.
Fan-first
We're fans who got a mic, not journalists who got credentials. Expect passion, opinions, and the occasional rant that goes two minutes too long.

One from Portland. One from Seattle.
