In today's episode, Liam revives a prior series from the beginning of the podcast, Woso Weekly, covering the latest news in women's soccer with insightful analysis.He covers the USWNT's dominant January camp, as the side rolled to back-to-back shutout wins, while showcasing the next wave of talent in Emma Hayes' evolving player pool. He talks about how even with a heavily rotated and relatively inexperienced squad, the U.S. still delivered, as first-time goal scorers and USWNT senior debuts highlighted the team's growing depth. LDG named players who stood out, like Trinity Rodman, who stood out as both a consistent goal scorer and emerging leader, while performances from players like Ally Sentnor, Reilyn Turner, Emma Sears, and Croix Bethune underlined how competitive the forward and attacking midfield picture is becoming ahead of the SheBelieves Cup and World Cup qualifying later this year.The episode also talks about the broader landscape of the women's game, including the inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup, and what the competition reveals about commercial progress and lingering challenges. While FIFA's record-setting prize money signals real financial investment, which poses long-term benefits for the stability of the sport, as the prize money will be reinvested into the sport, there were some disappointments, as LDG highlights, that raised questions about sustainability and execution. He chats about Gotham's loss to Corinthians and Arsenal's dominance, adding context to a tournament that reflects both how far the women's club game has come and how much work remains for the future.Lastly, he talks about Crystal Dunn's retirement and Trinity Rodman's record-breaking contract with the Washington Spirit. As mentioned in the episode, to hear more about Trinity Rodman's move, we did a deep-dive on the Trinity Rodman contract negotiations with the Washington Spirit.Thank you for listening!
