Diaspora United ·

2022/03/23

What's good!? Courtney & André are back with a fresh episode and fresh games to react to! We stop in Europe to discuss the latest UWCL matches, PSG vs. Bayern and El Clásico. We talk about the Katoto Hive remaining well-fed, PSG's fullbacks dicing people up like wingers, Real Madrid's tactics, that soft pen (plus some VAR talk, we apologize), and why seeing Barcelona struggle made André hope for a Club World Cup even more. Then we move onto the Challenge Cup! The preseason not-preseason

2022/03/15

The NWSL is BYKE! The 2022 Challenge Cup kicks off in a few days so Courtney & André teamed up with Skye & Sylvs of Shea Butter FC for another crossover pod!

2022/03/10

Don't look at us like that y'all know we had to Dad Joke the title! Anyway, Courtney & André were so hyped and honored to welcome Tigres forward Mia Fishel to the pod! It was unbelievable to be able to talk to Mia and hear in her own words an approach that we hope many young players emulate. #BigFishelEnergy Before the interview though, we do some quick shoutouts to Syd Leroux, T h e E t e r n a l F o r m i g a, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Crystal Dunn before chatting with Mia.

Y'all. Y'all! Y'ALL!! The USWNT babies went all the way off on Iceland so Courtney & André scrapped their rundown to react to all the Black excellence, gloriousness and wonderment on display!

WE BACK!! In this episode Courtney & André discuss the overt anti-Blackness of cold weather, give shouts to Uchenna Kanu, Mia Fishel, and Deanne Rose.

Guess what? We are FIDDY years old! That's right, this is Courtney & André's fiftieth episode and, if you're listening the day it drops, it is exactly one year since our first episode. It's been so much fun and we can't thank y'all enough, but in this pod we tried! We put out the call for questions and y'all responded with some BANGERS!

2021/12/23

Aaaaand we're BACK! Courtney & André found a bit of time in between an unexpectedly busy holiday season to go through the bevy of news that's dropped since we last recorded. We review some key moves in the NWSL on either side of both drafts before getting into the Courage rolling out a sequel no one was asking for. Then we look ahead to the next round of the UWCL and pick out the matches we're extremely hyped to see. Since the NWSL can't stop NWSL'ing, Courtney gives a lesson on all that's

Euro Update and Domestic Foolishness

Diaspora United ·

2021/12/07

Courtney & André are back with another episode! The end of a USWNT cycle plus the NWSL madness then playoffs made our last few pods very American woso-centric, so we take a moment to back off all that and chat Europe. We run through D1 Arkema, WSL, the Frauen Bundesliga and Primera Iberdrola to get you caught up on key title races and players to watch, including young stars like Selma Bacha, Léa Khelifi, Deanne Rose and Mary Fowler. We also have yet another chat about Gareth Taylor because why

Courtney & André had a LOT to talk about so get comfy and ride with us. NWSL trade chaos has already started so we run through recent trades, including one that dropped mid-recording. We then talk Ballon d'Or, PRO's refusal to properly recognize, categorize or train NWSL referees (and what they're doing about it), plus spotlight some recent international fixtures. #DiacreOut After the break we do a deep dive into the USWNT's two matches in Australia.

2021/11/24

Due to the NWSL's refusal to stop NWSL'ing, we had way too much to talk about alone. So Courtney & André (or, per Courtney's request, Coach Stith & André the Giant), did another crossover pod with Skye & Sylvs, the good folks at Shea Butter FC! In Part 1 we discuss the NWSL Championship from the vantage point of two of us who were there and two who experienced the tv broadcast. We also discuss what it felt like for ALL of ERRBODY to witness a star exploding on the biggest stage, plus we

After Courtney recovers, they talk about the NWSL semifinals, say some final works about OL Reign and Portland Thorns, and chat about (and make fun of) the NWSL's Best XIs. In Heated & Hyped, André unfurls a scroll of things that got him heated, and Courtney wants to fight George Hudson. Please share, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all!

2021/11/09

Courtney & André chat about some recent news around the woso world before diving straight into the two NWSL playoff quarterfinals, where we got a snoozer and a BANGER! Unfortunately, Courtney's squad was on the wrong end of the snoozer. We discuss the gameplan, what went wrong, Scott Parkinson's approach, and getting Red Stars'd. We also talk about Mal Pugh's impact and a much deserved, and absolute BANGER of a, goal! Then we move onto the BANGER of the weekend! André is still feeling the pure

Courtney & André return with an XXL episode! We start off by discussing the Portland Thorns' hiring of Karina LeBlanc as GM, the NWSL's lost-but-maybe-always-there-though-never-ever-enforced 'Rooney Rule', and the Kansas City Current (shoutout KC please don't hate us for laughing at one of your nicknames). Then....IT'S MF'N PLAYOFF TIME! We get into the last bit of the regular season that put the playoff picture into focus by going over OL Reign lookin filthy, Gotham struggling to score goals,
