Courtney & André recap Naomi Girma's ballon d'breakout goalscoring game in which she scored a ballon d'brace.
We discuss the finishes, the purest celebrations ever, and assess the performances several new, new'ish or returning USWNT players. We chat about Jaedyn Shaw's best position to Hal Hershfelt's performance as a lone six, to Emma Sears going demon mode and Alyssa Malonson looking quite cozy and composed.
Then we ask what we learned this international break, and whether any of that will (or should) carry over into the next international window when the team heads to Europe.
After, we shift back into club soccer mode and talk about the final regular season games in the NWSL. We review the matchups, what's on the line, who can snatch playoff positions and/or seeding and how, and give our predictions on how it will all unfold. (Hint: Don't listen Spirit fans.)

The USWNT are BACK and so are Courtney & André! We discuss the back-to-back 3-1 wins versus Iceland (or New Zealand, if you're espnW). Then we look ahead to the third match of this window against Argentina, and who we want to see on the pitch.
We discuss Alyssa Thompson's PhD dissertation from the CP23 School of Finishing, Jaedyn Shaw's absolutely saucy dribble and finish, and Sophia Smith's half volley. We also get into the midfield issues, and why the team currently needs to rely on individual brilliance from attackers.
We look at the midfield, which continues to be a weak spot. We talk about what's going wrong, and tactical and/or personnel changes that could help (ahem-LilyYohannes-ahem). Then we pick out players we want to see line up against Argentina.

WE BACK! It's been a minute but Courtney & André are back in your earholes (ew). We start by reacting to the outrageously silly Bos Nation FC, before getting into Angel City FC's sanctions, and their response.
We also discuss the lawsuit against the San Diego Wave, and the important reporting done by Lesley Ryder and Diana Moskovitz. We discuss power dynamics, anti-SLAPP law, and Jill Ellis.
Then we finally get to action on the pitch, including NWSL Shield Winners Orlando Thee Pride (Courtney is also big mad at Orlando for losing their invincibles run to Portland) and Temwa Chawinga's record breaking season.
Finally, we move onto a little bit of action in Europe, including telling Gunners fans all the reasons why they should trust the process. Please subscribe, rate, review and don't forget to leave a dad joke – we appreciate y'all!

Courtney & André are back and have LOTS to discuss. First we get into the retirements of Alex Morgan & Sinead Farrelly, and the impact both had on and off the pitch.
Then we chat about the NWSL GMs survey and spotlight some weird takes and some surprising takes. We also discuss the piece linked at the end which details multiple GMs claiming player reforms have 'gone too far.' Obviously, we tear that shit apart.
Then we dive into the NWSL weekend, including Gotham hopping up tot third, Kansas City being #shook of Orlando, non-playoff teams missing opportunities to claim valuable points, Bay FC's newfound zoominess, and more.
After we force ourselves to do Heated & Hyped where we're both heated about ESPN's use of AI (and AI in general), and hyped about the U20 World Cup, including the Baby Nats doing a madness. Oh and Courtney is a baby hippo hipster.

Courtney & André get to chat about the new NWSL CBA with two people who helped make it happen, Simone Charley (Vice President, NWSLPA) & Meghann Burke (Executive Director, NWSLPA)!
We talk about what it's like to negotiate with NWSL owners, getting on the same page as players, the big brains across the NWSL, player autonomy and empowerment, why they fought for massive changes and what it took to secure them, and more.
Also, while the completed document hasn't been released, we ask about details in the final document that they're most excited about—and get some terrific answers!

Courtney & André love when labor wins so after discussing public transportation and Courtney's questionable Citi Bike habits, we talk about the NWSLPA unveiling a brand new CBA. We review the main topics, give a shoutout to all involved, and discuss why and how we think it will make the league better.
After that we dive into the return of the NWSL. We shoutout some clubs who seem primed to do some ballin the rest of the way (Seattle Reign, Utah Royals, maybe Rahsing Louisville), and whomst might struggle (San Diego Wavé, Bay FC). We talk about Jill Ellis, Landon Donovan, Ella Stevens, Yazmeen Ryan, the Washington Spirit, and a bunch of other stuff so tap in immedjiately.

Courtney & André chat with the host of Tested, Rose Eveleth. Tested is a six-episode podcast series that digs into the history, and unfortunate present, of sex testing in women's sports. It also chronicles athletes subjected to these tests and how it impacts their lives and careers.
Rose discusses the depth of journalism that went into the near-decade long project, and her journey pitching the series. We delve into current examples of harmful policing of women's bodies, including the gross social media firestorm that wrongly surrounded Algerian boxer Imane Khelif during the Olympics.
We also chat with Rose about advantages and disadvantages, people and organizations using bad science, colonialism and racism, and how it all intertwines to target Black women in sports, particularly Black women from the Global South.
Naturally, there's also women's soccer chat—because obvs—in which we all stan Naomi Girma. Please listen to Tested, then come back here to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review with a dad joke. We appreciate y'all!

Courtney & André review the USWNT's 1-0 win over Brazil to secure the gold medal in Emma Hayes's first international tournament!
We discuss an intense first half, and why Hayes might have gotten away with a few iffy calls. We also laud Brazil, who were an offside flag, a penalty non-call and an Alyssa Naeher save away from going into halftime with the lead.
We also talk about what changed in the second half, plus have a discussion about The Balds™. Then we pay tribute to the Blackest USWNT ever, and thank the trailblazers who came before them.

Courtney & André react to a wild quarterfinal round in the Olympic, and a semifinal round full of suffering and surprises.
André is big mad at Japan's approach while Courtney flames France as Croissant Norway, then we cackle about Spain getting back-to-back doses of CONMEBOL. We discuss "real football", boiled noggins, clutch goals, Naomi Girma's greatness, Trinity Rodman's ascent, and whether suffering is truly necessary.
We also preview the gold medal match and why, no matter the outcome, we will be both big happy and big sad at the final whistle.

Courtney & André review a whirlwind slew of games in the group stage of the Olympic tournament. It was chaotic, spicy, delightful, delicious, heartbreaking, annoying, and full of bangers—so we talk about it all!
Then we shift into Heated & Hyped, where Courtney has some words for NABJ, André is mad at the International Olympic Committee's lack of understanding of social media. But we end on a high, with both of u being hype for the return of CP23 and André loving the NWSL x LigaMXF Summer Cup.

Courtney & André are back to review the USWNT's two matches before flying off to Paris.
Courtney saw concerning things in the match against Mexico, and André saw concerning things in the match against Costa Rica. We discuss the trends that have us #shooketh, and what can be done about them.
It's not all bad though, S.O.S. scored the only goal across both games and hit us with another catharsis celly, and Tierna Davidson hit an incredible pass. But uh, yeah, other than that........um........hm. Ok!

Courtney & André are joined by Sylvs (a.k.a. Shea) of Shea Butter FC for a mini crossover to preview the Olympics!
Part 1 on She Butter FC's feed is our breakdown of the USWNT's roster, so we start off by analyzing Brazil, Canada, Japan and Australia's squads.
Then we preview each group by asking which is actually the dreaded Group of Death, discuss matchups in each group we're most hyped for, predict the top scorer in each group, and decide who we think will make it to the knockout round. New Zealand, we are sorry in advance. Anyway, come vibe with us!

We hit the midpoint of the NWSL season so Courtney & André decided it was time for a vibe check!
First, though, we previewed the NWSL Summer Cup cause we're both kinda hype about it. We predict winners, and why it's an important competition for the two leagues to continue playing one another.
Then we vibe check all NWSL teams. If they're ballin, we look at why, what they're doing, and standout performers. If they're not, we look at why not, and if anything can be done to improve their season in the next dozen games.
We also drop our predictions for ROTY, COTY, Golden Boot and MVP!

We also talk about a couple transfer rumors, plus an accidental Heated when we said we weren't gonna do Heated & Hyped – oops!

With Sister Emma's first callup, training camp and matches before she must name her USWNT Olympic squad, we decided we needed another crossover!
In this episode we look at each position group and discuss who's on the bubble, who might've played their way into contention, and who might've played their way out.
We ask 'Where the yung GKs at?', 'Will we see an emphasis on center backs over fullbacks?', 'Did #5 player her way out of contention?', 'Will Emma Hayes make a football decision regarding Morgan?', and a LOT more.

Moments after Sister Emma picked up her first dub in her first official game, Courtney & André hopped on the mics.
We talk about the starting XI, Mallory Swanson being great, base formations versus in- and out-of-possession formations, why the two styles of goals were notable, plus our wants for the second matchup with South Korea.

Fresh off hoisting her fifth consecutive WSL title and 16th Chelsea trophy overall, the Sister Emma USWNT era has now officially begun with a roster drop ahead of two June friendlies versus South Korea.
Courtney & André hop on the mics with 1/2 of Shea Butter FC, Skye, to discuss the drop. We get into each position group, why we're hype or have questions, and also look at who may have been left out. After a break, we also get into what we expect to be different about the USWNT under Emma Hayes.
Then hop over to Shea Butter FC's feed for the second part of this crossover where we talk NWSL. We get into surprises at both ends of the table, drop some superlatives, and try answer questions like why is SufferBall still sufferballing? And why is StruggleBall still struggleballing?=============

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.
