With Courtney still working hard, André welcomes Sylvs (Shea Butter FC) to the pod!We start by reviewing the weekend's Women's Champions League (UWCL) matchups. We look at what went wrong for Arsenal, and discuss why Lyon's frontline is the best in the world. Then we begrudgingly discuss Chelsea's 4-1 loss to Barcelona. Sonia Bompastor got on our nerves, and we talk about why, and exactly how.Then we preview the second legs before switching focus to discuss the NWSL overall. Is the sudden formation of a big 4 (erm, 3) good or bad for the league? What does a successful team build look like? Does a salary cap really lead to parity? Plus how to instantly tell whether a rookie talent has a great chance at becoming great.After that, it's the return of Heated & Hyped. We're both frustrated by the NWSL and SafeSport, but end on a high note with the return of Big Fish and the WNBA regular season getting closer.Please subscribe, rate and review.

WE BACK! Well, kinda. Courtney is still swamped by broso so André brought in Skye from Shea Butter FC for an NWSL vibe check!Each team has only played three regular season games, but since we're already headed into an international break now is a good time to look at what we've seen from each team. We start from the bottom of the table and work our way to the top as we check-in on how each team in the league is doing, After, we get Skye's insights on what is going on in Angel City, and why this is such a crucial year for the club. André is shocked and appalled at the list of coaches Angel City fans have endured, and they both wonder very loudly why Christen Press is only getting stoppage time minutes.Please subscribe, rate and review.

So, um, you may have heard that Naomi Girma has gone to Chelsea. You may also have heard that across Diaspora United and Shea Butter FC there are three separate Chelsea fans. SO OF COURSE WE SHOUTED ABOUT IT! We discuss how impactful it is that a Black woman, first generation American center back was the first million dollar transfer in woso. We also talk about why she may have left San Diego, how good she is (and can become), and how she fits at Chelsea. Then we step back to dissect the 'NWSL Exodus' panic, chat Chelsea v. Arsenal, the WSL title race (or, maybe, race for 2nd), UWCL updates, and the mighty Frauen Bundesliga. Please subscribe, rate and review.

The United States and Mexico announced yesterday that they were withdrawing their bid to host the 2027 Women's World Cup, deciding to instead focus their efforts on the 2031 tournament. On Episode 132, we are joined by Sylvs from the Shea Butter FC Podcast to discuss all the implications and what it could mean for the USWNT program as well as the growth of women's soccer in this country and beyond! The USA and Mexico have decided to hold back from potentially hosting in 2027 a little over a couple weeks before the FIFA Congress casts their votes on it at their next meeting. That leaves Brazil and the joint bid of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands to duke it out. But, what does it mean for the USWNT and for women's soccer in the United States and Mexico? Sylvs has tremendous knowledge and perspective on this, so she joins after the break to discuss the implications. Brazil is rumored to be the favorite now to host in 2027, and that has us excited. Sylvs discusses what it would mean for Brazil to host and why it would be a good thing for women's soccer worldwide. We also look at the race for 2031 between the USA/Mexico and South Africa, which poses an intriguing matchup: growth of the game vs. equal investment and payouts. We're thankful to have Sylvs come on and kick some knowledge, and be sure to follow the Shea Butter FC Podcast for their continued excellent perspectives on the game.
