Around 18,000 fans are going to fill the stands at San Jose's PayPal Park on Saturday to watch the Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC NWSL championship matchup. Looking to build on this season's record success, the league is now adding two new teams -- the Denver Summit and the Boston Legacy. CBS News MoneyWatch correspondent Kelly O'Grady has an inside look. The 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup was a turning point for women's soccer in the U.S., with the game shattering attendance records and proving the sport could achieve commercial success. Brandi Chastain and Briana Scurry, who were on that historic team, join "CBS Mornings" to discuss the rise of women's sports. Lori Lindsey, CBS Sports NWSL lead analyst and former Women's National Team member, joins "CBS Mornings" to break down expectations for Saturday's game between powerhouse teams Washington Spirit and Gotham FC. It's going to be "offense versus defense tomorrow night," Lindsey said. A record number of fans are embracing the rivalry between the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC for the NWSL championship title -- and the merchandise. CBS News' Jonathan Vigliotti met the designer who's leveling up fan fashion. Kelsie Whitmore was drafted as the first overall pick of the inaugural draft of the Women's Pro Baseball League on Thursday night. She speaks with "CBS Mornings" exclusively about the moment she heard her name called, and what it means to have a Women's Pro Baseball League now. NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss Saturday's championship game between the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC. She also explains why this was her dream job growing up, and how women's sports is inspiring younger generations. Mickey Guyton, who is singing the national anthem at Saturday's NWSL championship game, talks about how she prepares before a performance, what inspired her to make a Christmas album and the state of country music.

[Note: This episode was recorded Monday night, prior to the news late afternoon that Haley Carter is leaving the Pride's front office to pursue other opportunities. We will, rest assured, address that news on our next show.]The Orlando Pride just couldn't score. The team played well against Gotham FC, particularly on the defensive end and in the middle of the pitch, but the team's inability to find a goal — coupled with a late set piece goal conceded off an iffy foul call just outside the area — ended Orlando's bid to repeat as NWSL champions. The game could have gone either way, but it went the wrong way. We break down the heartbreaking loss, check on our score predictions, and make our selections for Player of the Match (we split the vote this time).The Pride may also be on the move in terms of training location. We briefly discussed the club's intentions to put everyone at the same facility at Osceola Heritage Park, which would be a boost in the facilities arms race for Orlando.Our mailbagbox wants to know if the NWSL will follow MLS in changing to a fall-to-spring schedule, if the Pride's attendance will keep going up, if Marta should become a super sub, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp.

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 briefly talked about Luana's new contract before going player by player through the Pride's roster and determine whether we think that player will stay for next season or go, and whether or not we want them to stay or go. Listen in real time as I struggle to remember who Kat Asman is, and as we forget Cosette Morche and Elyse Bennett completely. Yeah, we were not ready to do stays/goes yet.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 110 went down:0:15 – The Pride didn't score, so the Pride didn't win. It's as simple as that. But it's also not. The team played well apart from lacking goals.20:28 - Our mailbagbox is searching for answers.36:00 - Stays/goes time. We discuss contract situations and try to predict how the 2026 roster will shake out.

When it was first revealed that Denver was getting a new professional women's soccer team, many Denverites were thrilled! Including Mayor Mike Johnston, who has become Denver Summit FC's chief cheerleader. But he's been in hot water lately with city council, and now they're throwing the brakes on public subsidies he wants for a new soccer stadium. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi have been following the project, and they're breaking down all the latest twists and turns. Plus, some listener questions on bike lanes and Colorado's claims to food fame; and, when is it going to snow already? What do you think about the stadium politics? Should council put up the money?

For the Glory KC is back with the 153rd episode of the show!Before you do anything else, can you take our Sporting KC and MLS fan survey? Thanks!The main event, for the second straight week, are the KC Current who shook up the soccer world. First, Vlatko Andonovski is out as the coach but is promoted? It felt weird to us as well. Sheena and I talk through the sudden change and shed some light on the move and all the other front office changes around the Kansas City Current.Then we can't avoid the pain of discussing the premature end to the season for KC, as NJ/NY Gotham bounced them from the playoffs unexpectedly late in extra time. We break down the injuries, the decisions that led to those, the games highs and lows and everything in between.And before the sadness ends, we have to discuss the departure of Hailie Mace from the Current. And another KC Current player is on the move too. Plus, the KC Current are up for nearly all the awards.Sporting Kansas City were less in the news, but Major League Soccer on the whole made massive waves this week. First, they announced a schedule change to a "winter" schedule in 2027. In between there will be one more "regular" season, then a mini season they are calling a "sprint" to start 2027 before the full switch to the summer to spring move in July of 2027. We break down our feelings on the moves and try to capture each side of the equation (for more depth, check out my Op-Ed on the subject).The league also confirmed big changes with the Apple TV deal, including the end of MLS Season Pass.Beyond that, there are rumors of more changes, including the elimination of conferences and a new five division MLS setup. Sheena was very upset at my proposed divisions from nearly a year ago! And of course, MLS may change their playoffs again too.Before we depart, Ike Opara and Sporting KC II made news too, and SKC even signed a player, Cielo Tschantret. If only every week of the offseason was as busy as this one! It's a long episode, but maybe there won't be anything that happens this week?In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:NWSL expanding to Atlanta and another city in 2028USMNT and US U-17 updatesFIFA is raising ticket prices again for the World CupMissouri State comes up short in the CUSA finalHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Vlatko is out as the KC Current coach - 9:37KC Current vs. Gotham playoff stunner - 34:30Hailie Mace departs KC - 1:09:27MLS “Winter” Schedule & other big changes - 1:23:20SKC Round-up - 2:01:48Digital Crawl - 2:07:12Upcoming GamesUSMNT vs. Uruguay, Tues, Nov 18th at 6:00PM CSTMLS playoffs resume Saturday 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.

Gio Reyna took his start and ran with it! Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the mercurial playmaker's statement performance after smashing home a goal within minutes of his surprise return to the USMNT XI in a 2-1 win over Paraguay. The guys dive into what Reyna's spark means for the team, Balogun's continued rise, and why Pochettino's back-three system looks increasingly convincing. The guys also discuss how the overall mood around the USMNT has shifted over the past year, whether Poch deserves more respect, stock up/stock down, and what changes they expect ahead of Tuesday's clash with Uruguay. Big shoutout to the American Outlaws chapters in San Francisco and Boston for hosting Jimmy and Charlie during the game!
