Orlando Thee Pride, Brazil’s WWC bid, and Courtney tells a joke
It's been a minute so Courtney & André power through loads of woso news. We start with a sad addition to the sick & shut-in list, then talk about the Women's Club World Cup, Brazil's 2027 World Cup bid, and FIFA threatening to suspend Zambia.
Then we move to the NWSL to spotlight Orlando de Janeiro, and discuss how there's a lot more happening down there than Barbra Banda (though she is outrageous). We also discuss Kansas City, Gotham and Portland, plus André goes on a rant about Jaedyn Shaw and Casey Stoney.
After we hop the pond to talk about the FA Cup Final, Nikita Parris turning down a bag to win a trophy she's already won twice, Sir Jimothy Rats showing how much he cares about Man United's women's team, and the WSL title race coming down to the last day yet again.

Uncle Drogba warned us about this (plus NWSL updates)
Courtney & André review the shambolic shenanigans at Stamford Bridge. Courtney was in London to see the heist in person, and gives her eyewitness account. We talk about how frustrating it was that a ref ruined the most intriguing 150 minutes of football all season.
Then we update the NWSL weekend that was, including Barbra Banda reintroducing herself, Jaedyn Shaw doing a madness, and Reilyn Turner being the truth.

20 goals for 4/20, Banda make her dance, & the DU Derby
WE heard something y'all [NWSL, WSL and Brazil]
Courtney & André get straight into the news of María Sánchez requesting a trade, why she may want out of Houston, and a few places we think she'd cook. Then we look at the mess in Portland, Mike Norris' reassignment, and their reported global search for a coach.
Then we get into the IG fallout from the FA Cup semifinal where Millie Turner decided to post a still photo without considering, or caring, about the racism and hate it'd bring to Lauren James. We also get into bias in refereeing and the danger it puts Mayra Ramírez and Bunny Shaw in, and the damage it's already caused.
We finish with Heated & Hyped, where we're hype about the WNBA, Barbra Banda and the UWCL, and heated about WNBA salary #discourse and Santos refusing to believe 19 players.

Mal Back, Comeback, Cat Back, & SheDoesntBelieve in Consequences
Courtney & André break down the USWNT's 2-1 comeback win over Japan. We discuss the opening goal, what led to it, and the funny reaction in the stadium. Then we talk about how important the USWNT rediscovering their high press was to neutralizing a very dangerous opponent.
We also spotlight Mallory Swanson, Sam Coffey and Jaedyn Shaw. Plus we review the triple sub that put Korbin Albert on the pitch somewhat unexpectedly, which was at the very least bad optics, and how it also stole a moment that Catarina Macário deserved.

Alarmed at what SheBelieves
Courtney & André discuss the hateful and harmful posts shared by Korbin Albert, the legacy of the USWNT, Megan Rapinoe's response, and what was missing from her apology.
Then we shift to talk about our expectations from each team at SheBelieves. We look at some interesting roster decisions across the four teams, and what to look for from each on the pitch.
After, we do a quick roundup of European football, then drop some of our observations from the first three weeks of the 2024 NWSL season.

USWNT SERIOUS FOOTBALLING BUSINESS (+ NWSL Vibe Check)
The USWNT squad for the upcoming SheBelieves tournament dropped and it is some serious footballing business. Courtney & André talk about the return of Cat and Mal, and what it means that 16-year-old Lily Yohannes accepted her first USWNT senior callup.
Then we do an NWSL Vibe Check to discuss every team, what they've looked like so far, what they might be building, and/or what they're missing. We get into whatever the hell Houston is doing, give out incomplete grades for Orlando and Washington, and shoutout players who are already putting in top performances.

Everyone say thank you Casey Krueger [W Gold Cup Recap]
Courtney & André review the W Gold Cup Final between the USWNT and Brazil. On paper the match promised chaos, instead we got a scrappy, disjointed game that could've been better if either team made better decisions.
We discuss the problem with the USWNT attack, and Brazil having their worst match of the tournament. Then we talk about the tournament overall, and call out FEPAFUT president Manuel Arias over his bullshit.

That was not vamos vamos vamos [W Gold Cup SF Recap + Barbra Banda]

Then they talk about the extremely dangerous and unfun conditions the USWNT & Canada were forced to play in. We discuss how the match went from dangerous, to outrageous, to chaotic, to iconic.
Then, BARBRA BANDA IS COMING TO THE NWSL AND WE CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO START WHICH IS GOOD CAUSE IT STARTS NEXT WEEK.

And of course, after 641 days, Catarina Macario is back. We talk about her journey, what it was like when she finally stepped on the pitch, her IG caption about her comeback, and why we're shedding real tears that she's finally back.

My mood is deteriorating [USWNT v. Mexico Recap]
The vibes were improving, until they weren't. Courtney & André review the USWNT's 2-0 loss to Mexico by hoping certain USSF folk have learned to respect Liga MX Femenil.
Then we focus on the USWNT and what went wrong (hint: everything). From the starting XI to the halftime subs to the woeful tactical instructions and a lack of leadership in a tough game – we discuss the loss from every angle.
We also discuss the importance of the tournament and the dope games and performances that have happened outside of the USWNT, Colombia and Brazil.

After that we dive into Europe, including FA Cup shenanigans, Chelsea's rumored interest in Sonia Bompastor, and the UWCL Draw. Then we get heated about Jun Endo's ACL and hyped about Beyoncé (but for very different reasons).

She dragged her Momma in The New York Times
Courtney & André start off discussing the USWNT's Gold Cup squad. We got the Happy Black History Month forward line, plus Mal Swanson is back but on the training squad. We also ask if the midfield as constructed has the capacity or the facilities to functionally midfield. Then we get into Lindsey Horan's very weird interview in The Athletic (and reprinted in The New York Times). We talk about her never actually talking about the football, her comments on American fans, and her being weird about fun team photos. After, we do a quick European update to give shoutouts to Benfica and Slavia Praha for drawing Barcelona and Lyon, respectively. We look at the quarterfinal draw, laugh at Arsenal, and relish in the latest Cat Macario update. In Heated & Hyped, Courtney gives a knee update and André is mad at the Washington Mystics.

NWSL Draft Spotlights, Euro Bag Getters, Free Agency, and Fake Gluten-Free Oreos
Courtney & André start off with some NWSL Draft chatter and spotlight a few melanated ballers to keep an eye on (including a potential Rose Lavelle 2.0 👀👀). Then they end up discussing the merits of the draft, and what it could look like if/when the draft is finally abolished.

SISTER EMMA IS HERE PRAISE GOD (w/ Shea Butter FC, pt1)
U.S. Soccer shed the unseriousness and hired Emma MF'n Hayes so it was the perfect time to crossover with Shea Butter FC!
Skye & Sylvs join Courtney & André to discuss their immediate reactions to Hayes' hiring, her style of management, how she was made in America, her talent identification and development, and what we think all of it means for the USWNT long-term.
We look at some of her successes, but also failures, and how she's moved on from them, and what it says about her style of management.

Then head over to Shea Butter FC to catch part 2, where we discuss the first Hayes-inspired roster drop, discuss who we like, who didn't make it, who we want to see called up next, and have another conversation about the USWNT's midfield.

Courtney & André chat about a wild weekend in woso. First, they get into some super crunchy NWSL semifinals with Gotham beating Portland in Portland (bye Merritt!), then OL Reign out-sufferballing San Diego 1-0.

🎶We believe that children are our future...🎶
Courtney & André dive right into it with a review of three dull, boring, bland and goalless halves of soccer before discussing that one glorious half in which the kids went tf off! We also deal with Mr. Heifetz's weird Liga MX Femenil comments, and discuss what that mindset reveals about U.S. Soccer's player scouting, analysis and recruitment.
Then we prep you for the big NWSL semifinals coming up this weekend. We review the tactical chess match of The Cooler Clash, and reveal the year Sky Blue/Gotham most recently defeated Portland in Portland. Are they due? Go Bats?? Or is André gonna break out the meme again???
After that they discuss the Ballon d'Or from the timing of the ceremony to why Novak's ignorant ass presenting the women's award, and discuss upcoming World Cups including why we know where the men's tournament will be in 2034 but still don't know where the next Women's World Cup will be.

There's a lot goin on and we had a lot to say so we cover as much ground as we can!
Courtney & André start off by reviewing the NWSL quarterfinals, with OL Reign suffocating an energetic Angel City, then Gotham getting a smart win over a Kerolin-less (sad feelios) North Carolina Courage. We look ahead to the semifinals then chat about Vlatko's return to the league.
Then we discuss the statement and action being taken by the Reggae Girlz to refuse callups in order to force change with the Jamaican Football Federation, and receive pay they've earned. We discuss the issues, and how you can help elevate all players struggling against their federations.
Next, we get into England being weird about Arsenal's alabaster, eggshell frosty squad and coaches whining about the UWCL format because they failed to make it to the group stage.
We wrap up by reviewing candidates for NWSL awards, including our picks for coach of the year, defender of the year, rookie of the year, and MVP!

After hitting some highlights around Europe, we return to the States to talk about NWSL Boston's weird stadium and transportation plan and ask if it's all a bit too prior-era NWSL. Then we dig into the madness that is the NWSL table and look ahead to yet another wild weekend of matches.

Xtina vs. Britney, World Cup Recap pt2 (w/ Tamerra Griffin)
We had a lot of ground to cover so we welcomed freelance women's soccer writer who covered the World Cup for The Athletic, Tamerra Griffin!
Now that the world Cup is over, Tamerra joined Courtney & André as they attempted to immediately reflect on the tournament overall. It was the biggest one yet, with 32 teams, so we discuss what that means and how it played out. We also chat about finally having proof that any gaps have nothing to do with talent, but everything to do with resources and preparation.

Multiple Conflicting Truths, World Cup Recap pt1 (w/ Tamerra Griffin)
We had a lot of ground to cover so we decided to bring in freelance women's soccer writer who covered the World Cup for The Athletic, Tamerra Griffin!
Tamerra joined Courtney & André for a conversation about both sides of Spain's victory over England, and lifting their first every World Cup trophy. First they discuss the matchup on the pitch, the impact of Salma Paralluelo starting and Lauren James on the bench, what went wrong for England, and whether Sarin Wiegman panicked or had a little too much dip on her chip.
Then we dive into the ick of Spain's win. We look at the federation and its key figures, who wasted no time in reminding us just how backwards and disgusting they truly are. We discuss the conflict of celebrating the players while knowing this will embolden an already brazen collection of men.
We also look at the player perspective, those who played and those who sacrificed, and discuss why labor issues are never as binary as people would like.

It was the years, not the millimeter [USWNT Postmortem]
Well, that was brutal!
Courtney & André react to the dramatics that ended with the USWNT being knocked out of the 2023 World Cup in the round of 16, by a millimeter. Courtney details the pain of witnessing it live, while André hopes the lesson learned by those with power is that the difference wasn't a millimeter, but the years that came before.

WAKE UP: Where the sage at
Y'all, we don't know what that was either but we tried to talk through it. The USWNT needed to put in a good performance but instead Vlatko's tactics left the team looking toothless and confused.
We try to figure out what went wrong, and what we now want from the USWNT in the rest of this tournament, plus André wonders if Vlatko is quiet quitting.

THANK YOU + The NWSL is NWSLing
Courtney & André hopped on the mics on this blessed PUT IT IN REVERSE TERRY day to say a thousand 'thank yous' and chat some NWSL!
First things first, we cannot believe y'all. We are humbled, honored, touched, hyped and still in disbelief at what y'all did. Thank, thank you thank you.
After thanking you all, and André being forced to say 'Tallstralian', we look at a wild weekend in the NWSL. The bottom table clubs did a Birdman hand rub and tried to collect as many points as possible while Casey Stoney and Sam Laity are deeply committed to SufferBall and paying for it, plus Gotham and Angel City scrap to a 0-0.
Then in Heated & Hyped we talk about soccer federations across continents sucking, and for no good reason. We also talk about Elon Musk sucking, and also for no good reason (though maybe some diabolical ones). Then, y'all know what our hyped is: THANK YOU FOREVER AND EVER!

Great gowns, beautiful gowns [USWNT Squad Review w/ Shea Butter FC]
The World Cup is coming and Vlatko Andonovski recently dropped his 23 player USWNT squad, and we had to talk about it!
But we couldn't do it alone, so we crossed over with Skye and Sylvs from Shea Butter FC! We review the squad line by line, from goalkeeper to the attacking line. Is Alyssa Naeher in good form? Can she get there? How did Andonovski manage the loss of Becky Sauerbrunn? Is Julie Ertz supposed to save two lines or...? Is Emily Sonnett actually versatile? DeMelo in, that's dope but what does it mean that she's uncapped? Too much roster redundancy in midfield? Where the 8s at tho? How does Lindsey Horan's mobility impacts Andonovski's midfield setup? Should Sophia Smith be the #9? Where the shooters at?
Plus we run through our predictions for the group stages and why the USWNT absolutely must finish first in the group. Please listen, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all!

She got that MAMA DAWG
WE BACK! André is back in good health while Courtney is dodging the remnants of wildfires but we backity back to start our next hundred episodes!
Since we haven't spoken to y'all since the CRYSTAL DUNN INTERVIEW we had to do a live recap. We dish on how it all came to be, and why the phrase 'never meet your heroes' doesn't apply in any way to Crystal Dunn.
Then we dive into some NWSL news & notes. We start by discussing Sydney Leroux's dramatic return to the pitch that got even the most thuggish among us all teary eyed. Then we talk about Angel City as a whole, and what may be needed to get the squad where it needs to be. Then we rapid fire shoutout some Black ballers, including Michelle Alozie, Sophia Smith, Jaedyn Shaw, Yazmeen Ryan, Elyse Bennett and more!
And cause it's been a while, we made Heated & Hyped a mini-segment, so listen to hear why Lindsey Horan might have some explaining to do and also why you should go see Across the Spider-Verse. Please listen, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all!

The former MAC Hermann winner, NWSL MVP and Golden Boot winner, and World Cup winner sat down to chat with us about everything from completing her first 90 minutes as a mom and the significance it holds, her son Marcel and the joy he brings, scoring THAT goal in a semifinal, wanting to play midfield for the USWNT but embracing the challenge at left back and making the struggle part of her journey, her dream 5-a-side, and more!

NWSL Vibe Check
WE BACKITY BACK! The 2023 NWSL season is matchdays old so Courtney & André take a tour around the league to perform some necessary and vital vibe checks!
First we visit Seattle, Washington and Portland for some good vibes before dropping to the 5-out-of-10 vibes level, then plummeting further to check on the teams with the bad vibes. Along the way we also give shoutouts to some teams whose vibes are on the come up, thanks to Lynn Williams, Alyssa Thompson and Adriana.
Then, we scrap our normal Heated & Hyped segment because Christen Press recently gave an interview that has us both much too hyped to be heated! Please listen, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all.

Loopy NWSL and UWCL Talk
Courtney & André are BACK with a new episode and both feeling a little tired and loopy but we had a lot to talk about so we did it anyway!

NWSL is Back & Chelsea Almost Murdered Courtney
WE BACKITY BACK! Courtney & André return and there's a LOT to discuss!
First, André welcomes Courtney back from England where she indulged in the HASHTAG GO TO GAMES CAMPAIGN and was rewarded with a moment of a lifetime as she was live to see Chelsea defeat Lyon at Stamford Bridge. Then they move onto the NWSL where it's time once again to shout about Sophia Smith, but also yung gawds Alyssa Thompson and Messiah Bright.
Then we react to reports of problematic behaviors coming from Kansas City, where Mykiaa Minniss' treatment at the club was recently revealed, plus Lynn Williams' recent detailing of her trade away from Kansas City.
After that, we bring back Heated & Hyped! Please listen, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all!
