Since firing head coach Lorne Donaldson at the end of April, things haven't gotten any better for the Chicago Stars. In fact, they may haven only gotten worse. After a 0-0 draw in New Jersey, the Stars have lost their last three in a row and are adrift at the bottom of the NWSL table. Will things get better any time soon? Off the field, general manager Richard Feusz definitely said some stuff, Mallory Swanson is pregnant, and the Stars are going to play a game at Northwestern's ramshackle soccer-turned football lakefront stadium. It's a lot to get through, most of it not good, and Alex is once again joined by Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports to go over it all. Oh, and did we mention Alyssa Naeher's hurt now?

Lorne Donaldson has been fired as head coach of Stars FC, in a surprising move that's shaking up the club. The CHGO Stars crew breaks down in this emergency pod to what led to Donaldson's dismissal, the team's recent performance, and what's next for the Stars. Who could be the next head coach, and how will this affect the squad in the future? Don't miss our full Stars FC coaching change analysis, reactions, and insider breakdown! 

Well, the Chicago Stars did win for the first time this season back on April 13th at Bay FC! Unfortunately they've lost the two since without scoring a single goal. Are the team's problem's fixable? Would even the return of Mallory Swanson do anything to help? Things don't get any easier with Gotham, the Spirit and Current all on tap in May. Then, Tara from the Scuffed Podcast and their recently launched ‘Boots on the Ground' podcast focusing on the US Women's National Team and the NWSL joins the show to check in on news and notes from the last month.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Northern Super League, and Canadian national team chat. What a week it's been for the Whitecaps. They dominated Colorado Rapids to stay top of the MLS West, they gave themselves a great chance of advancing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Pumas, and news broke on Friday that a new, soccer-specific stadium to call their own was in the works. We delve into all the action on and off the pitch and hear from Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster about the stadium news. We've two feature interviews for you this episode. First up is a chat with Vancouver Rise President Sinead King about getting the new team up and running in a new league, the challenges faced and those to come, and where her love of football came from. We also chat with Vancouver's Canadian women's national team hero Julia Grosso about being back in the city, her career, that gold winning penalty, and lots more. Plus we look at Canada's win over Argentina and the U17 women qualifying for this year's World Cup in Morocco. Music-wise The Bees Band feature in Wavelength with a song featuring the legend that was Stan Bowles, Camille Schmidt continues her residency as our Album of the Month, there's Britpop songs from Menswear and The Boo Radleys.

Two games into the NWSL season and things couldn't be going much worse for the soccer team formerly known as the Chicago Red Stars. An underwhelming rebrand, lack of reinforcements and absent Mallory Swanson led into what's been a terrible start on the field. Alex recaps a drubbing in Orlando and blown lead at home before being joined by Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports and Defector to commiserate.

Join the DIEHARDS for just $4 a month! https://www.allchgo.com/intro-offer-youtube A year removed from finishing in last place, the Chicago Red Stars are headed to the playoffs! While that is certainly worth celebrating, it hasn't happened because they've been playing well. Three losses in their last four games, with Ludmila suspended and Mallory Swanson struggling, leave the Red Stars in a strange position. Alex Campbell looks ahead to the postseason and at how lucky the Red Stars are to be a part of it on the CHGO Red Stars Podcast.

Not quite a complete performance by the Chicago Red Stars, but a win nonetheless! Ally Schlegel is back! Cari Roccaro is playing Center Back and Julia Grosso is finally in the defensive midfield. Things are looking up if the club can grow on this performance. Next up is San Diego in what would've been the Riot Fest match. Thankfully the team will comfortably take on the Wave in Bridgeview as originally scheduled. See you there! Watch new episodes each Tuesdays at 6am CT!

We're back! The Red Stars are back! Julia Grosso is here! We lost! Oh wait, that last one shouldn't be part of the excitement.

LT and Liz have you covered this week with all the news, including Olympic Gold Medal discussion, coming back to the NWSL action, and the new historic CBA approved by the league and its players.  Watch new episodes each Tuesdays at 6am CT!

Lana Del Rey's hit song “Summertime Sadness” could've been the anthem for Toronto FC fans driving home from BMO Field Saturday night, and anyone that still doesn't have reliable internet service. The expected debut of Lorenzo Insigne was delayed for two weeks, and TFC conceded in stoppage time to draw the San Jose Earthquakes 2-2. But as Brendan Dunlop, Craig Forrest and Jimmy Brennan discuss, brighter days are ahead for Jimmy's old club as TFC pulled off a trade to land midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye from the Colorado Rapids in exchange for Ralph Priso, and loads of TAM/GAM cash. At the match as a fan, Jimmy is reminded of how aggressive he was as a player by San Jose's Shea Salinas.   The Canadian women's national team punched their ticket to the 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup in Australia and New Zealand by reaching the semi-final stage at the CONCACAF W Championship. The crew take credit for Julia Grosso's emergence as a prolific CanWNT goalscorer, since appearing on Footy Prime. Chelsea's £45 million signing of Raheem Sterling from Man City is seen as a win for all parties involved. Gareth Bale and Giorgio Chiellini experience El Tráfico from the sidelines, and Jimmy & Craig explain why European players are so attracted to the North American lifestyle.    Presenters: James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and Dan Wong Voice Over Talent: Jeff Cole This podcast has content that may use words and share tales that offend, please feel free to use your best discretion.  Parental discretion is advised.

Another day in the blanket fort with a gold medal show on tap. The Welcome Matt looks at the Canucks order of operations this summer in contract negotiations, wondering why the Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes deals are now being on the back burner to get Jason Dickinson deal done first. The Pat Down focuses on the NHL schedule for next season and how logistically it must be a nightmare for the league who still don’t know if they’re going to send its players to the Winter Olympic Games in China. Harman Dayal follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter, and tells us why he’s skeptical that Olli Juolevi can be an everyday NHL player, why he doesn’t think that Jason Dickinson will give the Canucks more offence, what he thinks the AAV will be for Dickinson’s new contract, why he feels that the players and Travis Green are pumped by the moves the team has made, and who he thinks could be bargain pickup for the Canucks. Golden goal scorer Julia Grosso from the gold medal winning Canadian women’s soccer team joins and explains how she was feeling walking up to kick that game winning goal, how much confidence and belief the team had in one another, and how Christine Sinclair has been a huge influence on her career. It’s Sekeres’ shot to sizzle on Hot Take. The show wraps with all the Errors & Omissions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Canadian captain Christine Sinclair let out a celebratory scream that could be heard throughout Yokohama Stadium when teammate Julia Grosso delivered the game-winning dagger in Friday's gold-medal match.. Canada won 3-2 against Sweden in a thrilling penalty-kick battle to become Olympic champions for the first time in women's soccer.  After Canadian goalkeeper Stephanie Labbé denied Jonna Andersson's attempt, Grosso scored the winner to end it. The team went wild, charging Grosso and piling on top of her — dancing, yelling and soaking up the moment.  Are the national and provincial governing bodies for Canadian soccer equipped to capitalize on an expected wave of interest in the game? GUEST: Melanie Bradley, General Manager of Brams United Girls Soccer Club in Brampton and former coach of gold medalists Ashley Lawrence (Defender), Kadeisha Buchanan (Defender) and Adriana Leon (Forward) - The Canadian business community appears to be largely supportive of the Quebec government's move to impose the country's first vaccine passport system. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce says vaccine passports or digital vaccination certificates would help to prevent future waves of the pandemic from forcing a resurgence of financially disastrous lockdowns by enabling those with low risk to participate in events, move freely and go about their daily lives. GUEST:  Mark Agnew, VP of Policy for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce - William Grenville Davis, the Progressive Conservative premier of Ontario for 14 years, has died at home in Brampton. He was 92. Seldom in Canada — perhaps anywhere in the world — has a political leader described his formula for success in such succinct and self-effacing terms as Davis once did. He was an unstinting booster of his Brampton hometown, a peerless fan of the Toronto Argonauts, father of Ontario's community college system, a key figure in Canada's constitutional repatriation, unrivalled master of oratorical circumlocution and — most of all — a devoted family man.
