Reign sit below the playoff line heading into a month-long league break. The Reign suffered another wildly expected loss to the Washington Spirit last weekend. We dissect what all went wrong in a match that was hard on the eyes in more ways than one. With the Men's World Cup break upon us, we also talk about the new “Kids Free” program for the Reign, the upcoming USWNT matches, as well as other NWSL results and news.SPONSORSSounder at Heart - Our network host and biggest supporter, Sounder at Heart covers the Seattle Sounders, Seattle Reign, and MUCH MORE!

Hosts Keely Dunning and Laura Schott are back — as is the Reign FC attack, with your PNW Queens netting not one, but two goals against Boston Legacy. Blood is in the water for the Reign as the team hopefully is able to ride this momentum into a result against Washington Spirit on Saturday. And of course we couldn’t end the show without some exciting USMNT news (congrats to Cristian Roldan!) and some general thoughts ahead of World Cup 2026. Celtic Jersey joke: Vittorio Angelone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosts Keely Dunning and Laura Schott skip the tactical TED Talk and head straight for the postmatch comments from Sam Meza and Angaard James-Turner following Reign FC’s 2-0 loss to Gotham. The goals may still be in witness protection, but the squad mentality remains strong — a testament to Laura Harvey’s leadership and a locker room full of adults who know how to handle adversity without staging a nationwide mutiny. Then, the hosts take a spin around the league and the latest NWSL standings before diving into Netflix’s documentary on the gloriously dysfunctional 2010 French Men’s National Team — a cautionary tale featuring player revolts, locker-room chaos, and enough ego to power a small country.

One day Seattle will score again, Friday was not that day. The Reign fell to Gotham 2-0 Friday night at Lumen Field.

We also cover the week's other matches from around the NWSL and preview the Reign's next match.SPONSORSSounder at Heart - Our network host and biggest supporter, Sounder at Heart covers the Seattle Sounders, Seattle Reign, and MUCH MORE!

It’s Deja Vu in the Reign FC universe — another match without a goal, and this one hurts. Keely Dunning, Laura Schott and this week’s guest, Kelyn Rowe, breakdown a beyond-disappointing 0-1 loss to Washington Spirit.
