We were so impressed with the opening match tifo (and the players' reaction to it) that we spent a bit of time on it in the latest Emergency Podcast.
We also talked about some post-SKC match concerns we covered earlier in the week on Verde All Day, talked a bit about tonight's matchup against the Timbers, and projected how Verde might be after their first seven games – with a schedule that all of a sudden appears friendlier than what other teams might experience.
(Also, a programming note: Tonight's At the Whistle match report may or may not be delayed a bit ... this is a night of moving parts and unusual match night circumstances for both of us.)
