It feels like months since the Orlando Pride last took the field, but the calendar says otherwise. If you believe calendars, it's only been a little less than three weeks, but time moves strangely in the post-pandemic apocalyptic world. Anyway, we don't have a match to recap, so we touched on a couple of Pride players putting the ball in the net during the international break and chat a bit about the United States Women's National Team's three-game friendly series against Japan. Emma Hayes used a lot of players, and the team looked solid for two of the three matches, but the rotated middle game seemed a bit disjointed. Hayes has greatly expanded the player pool and will have plenty of options when the World Cup approaches.Our mailbagbox had questions about a potential change in the NWSL schedule, as the league explores adopting the fall-to-spring slate, and opposition own goals.

The Pride have never won on the road against Louisville, and it's about high time they did. This match begins a congested push to the June World Cup break, and although Friday's hosts aren't high in the table, the Pride must be at their best to get a road result in this fixture. We look back at the series history, compare the two sides, provide our key matchups in the game, and make our final score predictions.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 119 went down:0:15 – We open the show with a little banter about the Pride in the international break and the USWNT's series vs. Japan.9:03 - The mailbagbox features questions via both eletronic mail and social media.

Royal Blue: The Return of the Blues EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Ian Croll and Chris Beesley are back in the studio to digest the international break and look ahead to the return of Premier League action! With Everton traveling to face Brentford this Saturday, the lads dive into the big talking points surrounding David Moyes' squad as they push for a strong finish to the 2025/26 campaign. On the Agenda Today the lads analyse Everton's form coming back from an International Break. Is there a question of an International Hangover? Can the Blues hit the ground running at the Gtech Community Stadium, or will the "international lull" bite again? The Thierno Barry Incident: A deep dive into the recent friction between the summer signing and the fanbase. After the fallout from the Arsenal match and the subsequent reaction at the Chelsea game, we ask: how does Barry bridge the gap with the Evertonians? Iliman Ndiaye is reportedly attracting heavy interest from the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal. With his stock at an all-time high, we discuss what the club needs to do to keep him happy. Is a bumper new contract the only way to fend off the vultures? The Tyler Dibling Conundrum: It's been a tough debut season for the young winger since his move from Southampton. With limited minutes and zero goal contributions so far, we debate whether Dibling can still play a "wildcard" role in these final few games of the season. #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:* https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:* https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO's Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Blame it on Mikel: Arsenal Player Withdrawals, International Break Fallout & April FixturesThe international break returns — and so does the noise.In this episode, we work through a packed window for Arsenal players across international duty, from standout performances and youth involvement to the growing list of withdrawals that have quickly become the dominant talking point.There's a closer look at England's camp, including the reaction to Ben White's return, and the wider conversation around national team expectations versus club priorities. Across Europe and South America, we assess who played, who didn't, and what it all might mean heading into the final stretch of the season.The discussion then turns to the narrative forming around Mikel Arteta, as Arsenal's decisions during the break come under increasing scrutiny — and whether that scrutiny reflects reality or something else entirely. With comparisons drawn across the Premier League and beyond, we explore how clubs are managing players during one of the most delicate moments of the campaign.From there, attention shifts to what's being dubbed “Manager-Geddon”, as multiple Premier League clubs cycle through managers in a season defined by instability. We break down the chaos, the consequences, and what it says about the current state of the league.Finally, focus returns to Arsenal and the month ahead. With fixtures across multiple competitions and key players managing fitness, April shapes up as a defining period in the season — one that could determine how the run-in unfolds.Set Piece FC rolls on — the noise rises, the run-in begins, and all eyes turn to April.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(01:29) - Episode Overview(01:58) - International Break: Arsenal Player Round-Up, Viktor Gyökeres Form & Sweden Qualification(02:35) - England Call-Ups & Ben White's Reception(04:41) - National Team Pressure vs Club Loyalty Debate(06:41) - Gyökeres Revisited: Form Timing & Season Impact(08:16) - South America Update: Gabriel, Martinelli & Hincapié Concerns(10:04) - Martin Zubimendi: Minutes Managed & Performance Questions(10:51) - Zubimendi Debate: Fatigue vs Form(12:56) - Hale End Watch: Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly & Dowman Impact(14:14) - Calafiori, Mosquera & Wider Squad Mentions(15:04) - Premier League Withdrawals: 23 Total, Arsenal ~10(15:35) - Injury Context: Saka, Rice, Madueke & Squad Fitness(17:10) - “All Arteta's Fault”: Club vs Country Tension(18:43) - Wider Context: Haaland, Kane & League-Wide Withdrawals(20:12) - Are Clubs Taking the International Break Seriously?(22:20) - Training Window: Arteta, Pep & Squad Preparation(24:28) - Manager-Geddon: Premier League Sack Season Overview(25:56) - Manchester United: Carrick Impact & Turnaround(28:06) - Tottenham: Circus, Appointments & Rival Perspective(39:20) - Manager Musical Chairs: Nuno, Ange, Dyche & Pereira(41:41) - April: Arsenal Fixtures & Injury Concerns(42:53) - Squad Balance Issues & Tactical Concerns(45:49) - Fixtures: Southampton, Sporting, Bournemouth, City & Newcastle(47:29) - Title Race Context: City Gap & Pressure Points(50:06) - Manchester City Run-In & Remaining Fixtures(51:26) - Closing Thoughts

FC Cincinnati defender Alvas Powell joins the show to talk about his journey from Jamaica to becoming one of the fastest players in MLS—and yeah, we had to ask if he's actually the fastest in Cincy and what would happen if he raced Speed.

Having been part of multiple eras, Powell gives real insight into how much the club has changed and what fans might not see behind the scenes. We also get into the 2026 season, what's gone wrong, why there's still belief in the locker room, plus the Denkey celly vs Tigres, locker room personalities, and more. To close it out, he shares advice for young players, a message to fans, along with an international break update and a quick look ahead to New York Red Bulls.

The international break is on, so we gathered Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) to review Spain's latest 3-0 win against Serbia.A friendly game where Spain didn't really face too much opposition and Luis de la Fuente got the chance to try things and give newcomers, like Victor Muñoz, a chance to shine. He also sent a clear message by starting Unai Simón ahead of the other in-form goalkeepers... Matt & Román also pick their favourites to challenge Spain in their ambition of winning the World Cup and take some time to talk about Raphinha's injury which will keep him away for a while, missing both UCL matches vs Atleti, and potentially a UCL semifinal.We hope you enjoy the pod and thank you for listening!

Gavin and Elliot open off-script. Mo Salah's departure from Liverpool has just been confirmed, and before Arsenal business gets underway there's a moment worth taking — a reflection on legacy, on how elite players leave, and on a contrast with another Liverpool exit that the hosts find hard to ignore.The international break dominates the main agenda, and the "six Arsenal withdrawals" story that has dominated the back pages gets looked at properly. The hosts work through who has actually pulled out, why the circumstances around each case are very different, and what Saka and Rice being handed a week off quietly reveals about how Arteta is managing this period of the season.Fixture congestion and the international calendar come into focus, with PSG's approach to domestic postponements adding some colour to a broader conversation about how the game is being structured at the top level.There's a detour worth taking — into whether Arsenal's constant presence in the headlines is as damaging as it feels. The Arteta media narrative gets examined, and the hosts have a take on it that may not be what you're expecting.Then the episode arrives at its core. Ståle Solbakken has spoken publicly about Ødegaard's mental state, and the hosts don't shy away from it. What his return means tactically, what formation gives Arsenal their best chance in the run-in, and where Zubimendi fits into that picture are all on the table. There's also a wider conversation about the burden Ødegaard carries into the summer — one that goes beyond anything Arsenal-related.Pre-season gets a brief moment. Arsenal are confirmed for Dublin against Real Betis on August 5th, with the shape of the summer starting to come into view.The episode closes on the IFAB rule changes arriving at the 2026 World Cup — five-second countdowns, the substitution clock, injured players leaving the field, expanded VAR, and the Premier League's decision to opt out of corner scrutiny. Arsène Wenger's offside proposal and the thirty-minutes-of-ball-in-play idea also come up. Neither lands without challenge.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:53) - Mo Salah's Liverpool Exit(07:34) - International Break Withdrawals: The Full Picture(09:44) - Saka & Rice Given a Week Off: Who Is This Break Really For?(14:03) - Fixture Congestion, PSG & the International Calendar Problem(15:58) - Gabriel's Knee & the Media's Dark Arts Narrative(20:04) - Does Arsenal Benefit From Being Everyone's Story?(24:22) - The Arteta Media Narrative: Mandela Effect in Football(29:33) - Ødegaard's Mental State: Ståle Solbakken Speaks(34:55) - The 4-3-3 Must Return: Tactical Reality for the Run-In(39:19) - Did Arsenal Mis-Profile Zubimendi?(45:10) - Ødegaard & Norway's World Cup: The Weight He's Carrying(52:43) - Pre-Season Friendlies: Dublin, Real Betis & Staying Close to Home(55:26) - IFAB Rule Changes: The Good, The Bad & More VAR(01:08:21) - The Wenger Rule & 30-Minute Halves: Football's Worst Ideas?
It's been a rollercoaster week for FC Cincinnati—going from a historic 3-0 advantage over Tigres UANL to a complete collapse in Mexico, then responding with a chaotic 4-3 comeback win over CF Montreal despite going down a man after Miles Robinson's red card. The fight and resilience were there, but the same defensive issues and costly mistakes remain, leaving the bigger question: is one emotional win enough to move past the Tigres disaster and win the fanbase back?

That's a wrap on International Break of 2025! We're joined by Amy O'Connor and we're talking all things USWNT and England Lioness matches including their opponents of course! The US took on Italy twice and we're asking the questions that everyone wants to hear: the GK situation? Is this the starting back line? Does Sara miss the 'glory days' or are they still here? Next, onto the England squad that is seeing so much youth. A sell out at Wembley vs. China but how much did we really learn about the Lioness squad? Sara sings Georgia Stanway's praises and a debate about attendance arises. Episode edited by Mike Adams @monkeyhillmedia. Follow us on socials @thewososhow Learn more about your ad choices.
