City Cast Denver listeners nominated Denver's new NWSL franchise, Denver Summit FC, as one of the biggest wins of the year at our Denver-est Denver Awards last week, and the city is undeniably abuzz with excitement over the prospect of a professional womens soccer team. But how much public money should the City of Denver put up to support the team? City Council is voting tonight on the proposal to spend $50 million to buy land and build support infrastructure for a new stadium, so we're revisiting a conversation host Bree Davies had earlier this year with one of the country's foremost experts on the politics of stadiums, CU Denver's own Dr. Geoff Propheter. Denverite reported on the details of the community benefits agreement that Denver Summit FC reached with neighbors of the proposed stadium site.

In today's Morning Espresso on the SDH Network—brought to you by Oglethorpe University—we open with a conversation about “the noise” around young players and why learning to navigate it matters in professional environments. From there, it's a full MLS SuperDraft recap, led by Atlanta United's night: trading down from No. 2, adding allocation money, and still landing Enzo Dovlo at No. 12, along with Noah James later on, plus plenty of Atlanta and Georgia connections throughout the draft.We also cover the latest MLS roster moves, including business involving Vancouver, Austin, and D.C. United, and dig into the growing standoff between the NWSL and the Players Association over proposed roster and salary-cap mechanisms. We wrap by looking ahead to a packed weekend and beyond: AFCON kicks off Sunday in Morocco, the Premier League slate brings key matchups, and there are new developments tied to the World Cup picture—from Saudi Arabia's 2034 planning to U.S. Soccer's ticket lottery process.
Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola tackle the thorny issue facing USMNT fans ahead of the World Cup: how far can the average supporter really stretch their budget to follow the Stars and Stripes? The guys break down FIFA's pricing structure, the impact on in-stadium atmosphere, and what it all means for the matchday experience (05:25). American Outlaws board member Trevin Wurm joins to explain the growing frustration among AO members, how ticket allocation for Group D games is shaping up, and the push to make watch parties an accessible option for the diehards and soccer-curious alike (15:52). The crew analyzes Antonee Robinson's impressive return to Fulham (31:07) and how things have gone from bad to worse for Wilfried Nancy at Celtic (35:32). And to close it out, Jamie Clark stops by fresh off leading Washington to its first ever NCAA College Cup title (46:51).

Annie, Ella & André do their best to break down why this will be an important week for the Spirit's quest to re-sign Trinity Rodman.We break down each aspect of the saga, from Rodman wanting to stay and the league seemingly caught off guard by that fact, to the proposed contract that's the center of a grievance, and a newly proposed mechanism that has some good/some bad, but is ultimately a workaround that would leave lots of players behind. We get into it all!Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review — it means a lot to us!

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...

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.

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!
