Spain took home the UEFA Women's Nations League title with a 2-0 victory over France with a dominant defensive performance.Dino and Grant talk about how Spain didn't allow any of France's world-class attackers to get going, then marvel at the sheer volume of battle-tested players younger than 25 La Roja have on its roster. It wouldn't be an episode of ITC without a good hypothetical, so Dino challenged Grant to come up with a World 11 that could beat Spain. After that, we discuss

Mexico scored a decisive 2-0 victory over the USWNT on Monday in the CONCACAF W Gold Cup. But was it poor form, bad strategy, or the wrong 11 for the stars and stripes? Or how about some other options: Was Mexico just as physical and prepared? Does La Tri just have excellent players who showcased their skill in a huge spot? We tackle those questions and send our apologies (in two languages) to Mexico for overlooking them. After that, we chat about USA drawing Linda Caicedo, Catalina Usme, and a

Are the remaining giants in the UEFA Women's Champions League starting to show some weaknesses? Dino and Grant take a look at two VERY interesting match results from the last week. First, Grant's Sky Blues scored a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Kingsmeadow, where MCFC Goalkeeper Khiara Keating put in another phenomenal performance. City is now level on points with Chelsea at the top of the WSL table, giving Emma Hayes' squad another thing to worry about as they try to win that elusive

The past week was light on Champions League football, but there was still plenty of elite women's club football to watch from around the world. Dino and Grant started with the Division 1 Arkema clash between Lyon and PSG (whaddya know, two UWCL teams). This match had a little bit of everything, and we left thinking our new pals from Paris should be feeling quite confident right now. After that, we had an Into the Channel Derby between Dino's Arsenal and Grant's Manchester City. This one
