There was a surprising amount of disagreement!We also took questions about the active coaching search underway by David Lee, if we should have a For the Glory KC watch party, what the new stadium sponsor should be for Sporting KC, along with some KC Current (and NWSL wages) and World Cup questions.In the SKC roundup we talked about the Stefan Cleveland trade, the lack of signings this week, the new Saint Luke's sponsorship and the announced preseason dates and schedule. For the KC Current's roundup, we covered their trade and the re-signing of Rocky Rodriguez.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:New NWSL rule proposals (aka the Trinity Rodman rule)MLS Cup final ratingsVancouver Whitecaps stadium progressand KS Astras and KC Comets results and scheduleHere is a rundown of topics and start times:MAILBAG - 07:04SKC Roundup - 54:29KC Current Roundup - 1:03:20Digital Crawl - 1:05:15As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

In this episode of Chat By The Pitch, Ian sits down with North Texas player and administrator Kassandra Ruelas to unpack what it really looks like to grow up inside one of the most competitive girls' soccer markets in the country. From yelling “goal” as her first word to playing with the boys and eventually earning a chance to play in Spain, Kassandra's story is a masterclass in soccer IQ, resilience, and family support. Kassandra talks about the pressure of DFW girls' soccer, the unspoken politics of youth sports, and what it feels like to be overlooked and benched after being named captain—and why she refused to let that season define her. She shares how her mom's sacrifices, her cousins' professional careers (including stints in Mexico and with the Dallas Sidekicks), and training with the boys gave her the tools to navigate setbacks without losing her love for the game. For players, this conversation shows how to use the field as your therapy, build your game around intelligence instead of just being bigger, faster, stronger, and survive the hard seasons. For parents, it's a real look at travel, pressure, and why the right coach matters more than any alphabet-soup league. For coaches, Kassandra offers a player's-eye view on communication, favoritism, and how one honest conversation can change a career.Key Talking Points• How soccer has always been part of Kassandra's life — her first word was “goal,” and the living room was a mini-pitch growing up. • The moment in middle school when soccer shifted from “fun with friends” to serious training, four-year plans, and future dreams on the pitch. • Growing up in a North Texas soccer family — cousins who played pro in Mexico and indoors with the Dallas Sidekicks — and the self-imposed pressure to honor their investment in her. • The Texas girls' soccer environment: extremely competitive, with teammates and opponents now playing in the NWSL—and how that can mess with your head if you compare timelines. • How her mom's support and sacrifices (driving 1.5 hours in traffic, always backing her choices) helped balance the pressure. • Soccer as therapy and creative outlet: using the game to disconnect from stress, reset emotionally, and express herself without overthinking. • Learning to separate “family” from “coach” with her three cousins: flipping the switch from joking in the car to professionalism on the field. • Kassandra's club journey: Odyssey → Liverpool → Solar → FC Dallas → Texans → Sting → Al Nord Texas boys → heading to Spain to play with Villarreal. • Why DFW competition at U13+ felt tougher than most out-of-state tournaments (except maybe California) and how playing the same high-level players for years sharpened her game. • The hardest season: being told she'd be captain, then getting five minutes of game time, feeling overlooked, and wanting to quit—but choosing to control her work rate and attitude instead. • Esteban's advice on politics and the rollercoaster of soccer—you can't want the highs without accepting the lows. • How the DFW soccer community is a small world—one name can spark a 30-person chain of connections, from FC Dallas games to Starbucks encounters. • The difference between Texas-style “athlete building” and Spanish tactical football, and why playing with boys forced her to lean on IQ instead of brute force. • Why she turned down a DA opportunity because the coaching style didn't fit her, even though the letters looked good.• A player's perspective on alphabet-soup leagues, constant travel, and chasing logos vs. staying local, dominating your backyard, and finding the right environment. Quotes from Kassandra• “My first word was ‘goal' during a game. Soccer has literally always been there—I can't remember life without it.” • “If I'm not playing on the field, I'm not happy. It's when I miss the game that I...

The World Cup draw is almost here, and the spotlight is swinging toward the United States as the biggest week of the cycle arrives. On today's Morning Espresso, we dig into the latest ahead of Friday's ceremony in Washington, from FIFA's ticketing shift to the star-studded lineup joining the broadcast stage. We also break down Luis Suárez's push for a bigger role in the MLS Cup Final and what his comments say about Miami's mindset heading into their first league championship match. And in the NWSL, Trinity Rodman's contract saga takes another twist as league leadership steps in, prompting questions about the future of top American talent. Plus Premier League midweek shake-ups, La Liga injury concerns, and all the global headlines you need to start your day.
In this episode, we delve into one of the most intriguing storylines in women's soccer: Trinity Rodman's entry into free agency. Having rapidly risen to stardom as one of the sport's most dynamic young talents, Rodman finds herself at a pivotal crossroads in her career, whether to stay in the NWSL or take her talents abroad, perhaps to the WSL, Liga F, etc. I share the latest updates on her free agency, and explore how this move could drastically shape the future of the NWSL, and also what I think the result of this free agency period should/might be from Trin.Tune in as I dissect her on-field impact, the economic and footballing forces shaping her next move, the changing market for the top tier of women's players, and the magnitude Rodman's decision might influence the future landscape of women's soccer. Whether you're an avid NWSL/Spirit fan or just eager to hear more about the prospects of Trinity's rumoured club options, this conversation offers insight and context about where one of soccer's brightest stars might go next.Thank you for listening!

Caroline breaks down the soap opera drama of Lane Kiffin's recent divorce from Ole Miss for the younger, hotter LSU. Who knew a middle-aged white guy would occupy so much of our brain space? It's also high-season for celeb-watch on the NBA sidelines, from Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez cuddling up to Conrad and Steven giving us an alternate ending for “The Summer I Turned Pretty” on the kiss cam. In this episode, we also cover: The NWSL's Sydney Leroux reveals how her silent health struggle is more prevalent in women's sports than we believe Recapping DWTS season 13, plus Alix Earle shutting down rumors about her boyfriend, Braxton Berrios Why Ben Johnson went shirtless for the city of Chicago How Post Malone's Cowboys fandom goes beyond hometown loyalty Petty Boys of the NFL week 13 edition, ft.

In this episode, we're talking about the new professional sports franchise coming to Boston. Rachel Duranwood from Boston Legacy FC yaps with me about local culture, the failed NWSL team that came before, money in women's sports, and the evolving state of women's pro soccer, both locally and nationally. It's a fun chat that goes far beyond the pitch. Oh, and we touch on the team's original botched roll out. They did have a televised reveal of Phang. Marra's closes after 98 years. The most memorable play from Monday's Patriots' game. Aquarium Bar in Valencia. Watch Listers! Listen to Chris Crofton's I'm Your Man. Have feedback on this episode or ideas for upcoming topics?

[Note: This episode was recorded Monday night, prior to the Pride signing Hailie Mace on Tuesday.]The Orlando Pride are coming off back-to-back NWSL semifinal appearances, and much of the credit for that just walked out the door. Haley Carter is leaving her post as the club's vice president of soccer operations and sporting director to pursue other opportunities. It was not welcome news, as Carter has done well to help install the right kind of culture with the Pride — one that shows the utmost respect for the players and protects them from the kind of things that have given the NWSL a few black eyes over the years. Her legacy is turning Orlando into a place players want to play and turning a perennial doormat into one of the better clubs in the league, both on and off the pitch.After our discussion about Carter's departure, we discussed Emily Sams playing for the USWNT in her club's home stadium and her thoughts on Carter's departure.Our mailbagbox basically just wants to dunk on the Washington Spirit for this episode, but at least Washington got to the final game. That said, it probably hurts worse to lose a final than a semifinal, so...yeah. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.After our mailbagbox, we went through the Pride's end-of-season contract status update. Orlando has 23 players under contract for 2026 (24 with Tuesday's signing of Hailie Mace), and we tell you who is and isn't on the squad at the moment. There weren't a ton of surprises, but we will miss Carson Pickett's golazos and Simone Charley's fire.We're in our off-season schedule now, so we'll be back at least monthly, and as often as news requires.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 111 went down:0:15 – Haley Carter built a thing and then let it go, because if you love something, you set it free. Yeah, let's go with that.11:53 - Our mailbagbox just wants the Washington Spirit to feel shame.21:52 - All player contract statuses are accounted for. We wish Ally Watt good luck in Denver (except when she plays Orlando).

Catarina Macario and Jaedyn Shaw powered the USWNT to a 2-0 win over Italy, sealing a fourth straight victory to close out 2025. Darian Jenkins, Lori Lindsey and McCall Zerboni break down the result and what it tells us about where Emma Hayes' squad is headed. The crew digs into the team's strongest emerging partnerships and how Hayes' expanded player pool is reshaping the depth chart. Claire Hutton and Olivia Moultrie earn special praise, while Kate Wiesner impresses in her first senior call-up. And of course, the ladies wax poetic about Cat Macario and how the Chelsea star has quelled the Triple Espresso chatter with recent performances. The crew also tackle the puzzling omission of Emily Sonnett from U.S. Soccer's Female Player of the Year nominees. And finally, they tie a bow on the USWNT's 2025, from memorable moments to the storylines that will carry into the new year.

For the Glory KC is back with the 155th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City and the KC Current did literally nothing this week, so we are filling in with offseason content!Sheena and I did our first ever "For the Glory KC Awards" and gave out many fake prizes to players on both teams. From MVP to Newcomer of the year to strange categories like best hair and best personality. There are the awards you'd expect and everything in between.We also asked the question, which is more shocking? Peter Vermes getting fired with nearly four years left on his contract or Vlatko Andonovski stepping down unexpectedly after the greatest regular season in NWSL history?Speaking of Vermes, he was reported to be up for the Atlanta United job that ultimately went to Tata Martino. Which left the question, where should Peter land if he stays in MLS? There are only a few jobs left open and the New York Red Bulls one looks like it's going to Michael Bradley (according to Tom Bogert of the Athletic). So that only left open the Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (soon enough), St. Louis City and of course Sporting KC.In addition to picking Vermes' landing spot, we ponder the question of how nervous should we be that Sporting KC still only have 14 signed players and no coach with preseason set to start in just over five weeks on January 10th?We also cover the news about Kansas City and the 2031 Women's World Cup, Bia Zaneratto possibly heading to Brazil and a lot of USWNT news for the full team, U-23s and U-20s.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:MLS Cup where everyone is rooting for Vancouver over MiamiThe 2028 Copa America maybe coming to the USAPhoenix possibly landing MLS and NWSL expansion teamsand UMKC's NCAA Tournament fateHere is a rundown of topics and start times:End of Year Awards - 3:22Sporting KC roster, coach and Vermes' fate - 47:222031 WWC Update - 56:28KC Current roundup - 1:04:12She Scores - 1:06:35Digital Crawl - 1:17:31Upcoming GamesMLS Cup: Vancouver Whitecaps vs Inter Miami, Saturday, Dec. 6th at 1:30PM CSTWorld Sevens Football TourneyWomen's College Cup (CPKC Stadium)As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.
