Courtney & André hopped on the mics after the final whistle of the USWNT's last match this international break, a 6-0 win over South Korea. We discuss the issues of the first match, a 0-0 draw, and what changes in the second match that led to a much different result (hint: your 6 gotta 6). Then we look ahead to what the team could be, and Courtney drops some of her favorite lineup ideas for the future of the USWNT. Then we switch back into NWSL mode to review Gotham's latest match versus KC,

Courtney & André are back with another new episode for your earholes! (sidenote: why does the word 'earholes' sound so deeply disgusting? anyway... ) Your hosts discuss the new NWSL interim CEO, Marla Messing. We run through her credentials, the tasks she has in front of her, and what we're hoping she does and does not do. Then we discuss Lynn Williams and Sam Mewis' latest episode of Snacks, in which they interviewed Midge Purce. They touched on the Black Women's Player Collective and how it

Courtney & André return with another fresh episode! We start off by acknowledging and elevating NWSL players' words, requests, and instructions for support. We also read poignant words from Imani Dorsey, Black Women's Player Collective board member and Gotham FC outside back. With their blessing, we move forward and always in solidarity. Then we discuss recent NWSL news, and wonder if this is another okey doke from Steve Baldwin (#SellTheTeamSteve #SellToMichele). Then we talk about the drop

CW: Sexual coercion Courtney & André depart from the normal pod format to discuss the NWSL, Paul Riley, Richie Burke, Farid Benstiti, Christy Holly, and Lisa Baird. We also look at what the league's attempts to move forward tell us, and demand not only protection for the players, but immediate and substantive empowerment – which is long overdue.

The international break is over but it left plenty for Courtney & André to #discuss. We start off with a quick review of some key scores and goalscorers from the international break, including France dominating then struggling, Marta doing a(nother) madness, plus the Aisha Buhari Cup and more. Then we talk about the USWNT's two matches versus Paraguay and attempt to answer the question that seems to vex many a U.S. soccer fan: Is Catarina Macario good? We investigate! We also talk about the

The soccer never stops so Courtney & André do their best to keep you up to date on what to look for in Europe and the Americas. We start out by discussing the UWCL draw that just dropped, and pick some of the matchups we're looking to the most. We then check-in on the WSL where Hope Powell's Brighton continues to impress while Gareth Taylor's Manchester City does the opposite. Then we stop in France to shoutout some favs, including Yung Gawd Catarina Macario! After that we hop to the NWSL to

Anti-Black technical difficulties couldn't stop us! We sat down for the second time this week and STILL had plenty to say, plus we added some new topics cause the news, football, drama, and as Ben Olsen would call it, "noise", never stops! Courtney & André start the pod with a review of European national squads, key matches and top performers, plus we ask the question 'Is Catarina Macario good?'. Then we jump to the NWSL to run through scores, highlight some performances, and Courtney breaks

~ C R O S S O V E R P O D ~ Between coaches getting the boot, owners actin up, Black players being disrespected, plus actual games, there was just too much to talk about by ourselves. So we linked up with the homies at Shea Butter FC for another crossover pod! In Part 1 we rundown the latest NWSL scores, then Skye and Sylvs tell us what a Cascadia Rivalry is like in-person, and how dope it was to see them play at Lumen Field. Then we get COACH STITH's notes from the Gotham vs Orlando match, plus

The news be newsin y'all! We dropped an episode last week, but so much has happened that it feels like it's been weeks since we hopped on the mics! So Courtney & André broke from their usual flow to dive into NWSL regular season results first, including Courtney's take on what happened to Gotham in their 3-2 loss to Reign and André's reaction to Ashley Sanchez's match-winning B A N G E R. We also take a moment to tell you why you should attend an NWSL game if you have a chance. Then we get into

We had to get into it y'all. The NWSL refuses to get it, so we decided to help in our own special way. First, Courtney & André start the episode with some quick news and notes, then Courtney runs through the latest NWSL results, including a breakdown of Gotham FC's shiny new 3-5-2 formation (also #FREECUDJOE). Then we welcome Douglas Reyes-Ceron, co-founder of Rose Room Collective, an independent supporter group for the Washington Spirit and D.C. United by, and for, people of color. We delve

Whew, we had A LOT to cover! Courtney & André reflect on the Bronze and Gold medal matches of the Olympics. Courtney shares her conspiracy theory on what happened to Abby Dahlkemper and we break down a CONCACAF masterclass by Canadian goalkeeper Steph Labbé, plus the straight up ice in Deanne Rose's veins. Then we review the weekend's NWSL matches, including dispatches from matches we covered live. Courtney dishes on Gotham FC vs. North Carolina Courage, and André goes in on Segra Field again

And Nary A Lesson Was Learned

2021/08/02

Welp y'all, that was disappointing! Though it had been coming for the USWNT, we didn't expect it to end with Crystal Dunn playing RCB. Vlatko my guy, what is you doin?! Courtney & André try to answer that and many other questions in their deep dive of Canada's 1-0 victory. We discuss substitution patterns, hockey line changes, the problems with the midfield, Lindsey Horan's role, lament that we never saw Christen Press and Lynn Williams on the pitch together, react to shocking minutes totals,

And that's that on the quarterfinal round of the Olympics, with Canada, Sweden, Australia and the United States moving on to the semis! Courtney & André return to talk through the results and bemoan the football gods pitting diaspora against diaspora in Canada and Brazil. Then we get into the USWNT's great escape over the Netherlands. We spotlight concerns about some performances and decisions being made, but celebrate the players that balled out to keep the L away! We also give a special

Yes it's us again but this time we brought a friend! Courtney & André welcome in Texas A&M, Melbourne City and OL Reign star Ally Watt! Ally discusses the devastating injury she suffered twelve minutes into her NWSL career and her difficult path to recovery. She also talks about the mental strength required to reteach and re-train your body, and sheds insight on the long road back that people on the outside never see. Then – y'all know us – we go all over the place! We talk about angry

2021/07/30

Courtney & André try to process waking up at 4am for *that* USWNT performance. Before we get into it, we talk about how the real potential banger of the day – Brazil vs. Zambia – was marred by injuries and VAR deciding to insert itself for no good reason. Still, the overall story of the group stages is Barbra Banda and Zambia, who balled out and showed real resolve to keep it 1-0 for 80+ minutes versus Brazil. Then, well, we get into it. We ask many questions about that USWNT performance, such

We chat through all the matches and talk about how each group is looking as we head into the final matchday of group play. We also take a bit of time to wonder

WHEW! The USWNT made us get up before God and morality for THAT?! Courtney & André had to hop on the mics to react to the USWNT's 44-match unbeaten streak ending in emphatic fashion as they were mollywhopped by Sweden, 3-0. We talk about what went oh so wrong, what Sweden did to cause it, how the USWNT never adjusted, those pre-Olympics matches not being the smokescreen we thought they were, and adjustments we would've liked to see (and what we hope to see moving forward)! There was a lot to
