A podcast that centers Black women in the global game.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Courtney & André ask how much Concacaf is too much Concacaf? But before that, they review Brazil's impressive and saucy 3-0 win over Mexico. They discuss the red card, the goals, and where Mexico went wrong even before the sending off.
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.
