In today's episode, LDG previews the Gotham FC 2026 NWSL season alongside Cloud 9 members Nat and Marge!Over the course of today's conversation, Nat, Marge and I talk about Gotham's incredible championship run and break down everything that's happened since the final whistle in San Jose and the NYC victory parade.First off, we'll look back at the rollercoaster ride that was last season, from making the playoffs on the goal differential tiebreaker to knocking off shield-winners KC Current and reigning champions Orlando Pride en route to winning the NWSL Championship against Washington. Then we'll react to the Jaedyn Shaw signing and what it means immediately for Gotham and what it could mean in the future.Next up, we dig into Gotham's offseason, talking about expectations and hopes we had going into the offseason, and what surprises occurred.We looked at the signings of NWSL veteran Sav McCaskill, rookies like Andrea Kitahata and Jordynn Dudley, as well as the importance of Midge Purce staying with the team and the re-signings of Kayla Duran and Katie Stengel.With every offseason, players also depart the club, and we talked about how those players' departures impact the club, specifically touching upon Ella Stevens and Josefine Hasbo moving to expansion side Boston Legacy, Gabi Portilho to San Diego Wave FC, and Stella Nyamekye to Brann.We then look ahead to the future and play a fun game, determining which three players whose contracts will expire beyond the 2026 season we would want the club to re-sign, with stars like Ann-Katrin Berger, Rose Lavelle, Jess Carter, and more included.To wrap up the episode, we bring back our classic 5-4-3-2-1 format as a series of quick questions that provide us with some predictions and wishes as we head into the new season.Thank you for listening!

Then, they revisit the World Cup Final and Spain's 1-0 victory. Afterwards, they speak on the Spanish F.A. and the shocking post-game actions from their president.

After that, they look ahead to the World Cup Final, Spain vs. England, and make predictions as to who will play, who will sit, and who will win.

Midge and Katie have all the feels as they dissect the US' early World Cup exit.

Then, they look back at the full USA vs. Sweden match and how tactically the USA was finally getting there. After that, they're joined by Becky Sauerbrunn to discuss the legacy this team leaves behind as well as the new beginnings that are to come in future World Cups and in next year's Olympics. Finally, Midge and Katie look at England vs. Nigeria and pour one out for Ify, then pick who, if anyone, they're taking to win the quarterfinals, and eventually, the tournament.
Midge and Katie are back as they get together to discuss the end of the group stage, with Portugal in the rear view. First, they react to the 0-0 draw, finally seeing Lynn Williams, and a very soft yellow that could mean everything. Then, they look into recent comments about the team and the negative turn that has occurred in fandom and the media, and discuss how the US team is absolutely in it to win it. Later, they're joined by USWNT goalkeeper A.D. Franch who gives her take on the US in the knockouts and what it might take to beat Sweden. Finally, Katie and Midge look at some of the other knockout matches and speculate who might go all the way.

Later, they're joined by Allie Long to discuss her prep for the Netherlands in 2019 as well as who, if anyone, has seen Barbie on the current squad. Lastly, Katie and Midge take a look at some of the other huge scorelines, discuss what exactly is wrong with Norway, and decide which upcoming matches to watch with one big twist.
The 91st returns and Midge and Katie are back to break down all of the moments from USA vs. Vietnam and the 3-0 victory that left everyone having an ok time.
