We are back! Cody has returned from his sojourn to the North and just in time for us to prepare for some kind of tournament that is being played here this summer? Cup of the Worlds or something? Is this like the Intercontinental Challenge Cup or something different? Jokes aside, we are hours away from the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup and 7 weeks of soccer overstimulation to our senses, so it is good that we are getting together beforehand to discuss this sport that we all love.That said, this is a Sporting KC podcast, and it has been a minute since Cody and I have discussed SKC, so we do have a few mailbag topics to dig into while that team is on hiatus during the World Cup break, including a player rumor! and hopefully as that break continues some news will start to trickle in regarding more potential transfer moves and how the team is preparing for the 2nd half of the season. Obviously the USMNT is kicking off their home World Cup campaign on Friday, on the heels of a couple decent, let's call them professional performances vs Senegal and Germany. Certainly a vast improvement on the last window vs Portugal and Belgium, and there are some interesting tidbits I think that we can take away from how these games went and how personnel performed that could inform the way this team will try to play this summer.There were also a couple supposed soccer games in Brazil for the USWNT, and they served a useful lesson for that team, if not really how to play the beautiful game, but rather how to survive when the opponent will simply not allow it to be beautiful in the first place,
In what turned out to be one of the craziest matches in recent memory, the USWNT came up with a 1-0 win against Brazil and Sam and Ali are here to dissect all the madness. High energy, an electric crowd, yellow cards, red cards, and a Sonnett vs. Marta showdown. This game had it all and we're still recovering.SUBSCRIBE TO THE WOMEN'S GAME NEWSLETTER: https://mibcourage.co/42X5HpBSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The USWNT scored in the 2nd minute and looked like they were on their way to a huge result against Brazil. Just 12 minutes later, they were trailing 2-1, later losing by that same scoreline.In this episode, LDG breaks down the 5 biggest ways Brazil exposed the USWNT, from struggles playing through pressure and controlling the midfield to bigger questions about where this team stands under Emma Hayes.

David Wright, U.S. Soccer Chief Commercial Officer, joins Sports Business Radio for a conversation about the upcoming FIFA World Cup and how U.S. Soccer is preparing to leverage the moment of having the biggest global sporting event on North American soil this summer. We discuss U.S. Soccer brand activations to keep your eye on, fan engagements that are planned, how U.S. Soccer wants to grow soccer (participation and viewership) and how the HBO documentary “U.S. Against the World” is taking viewers behind the scenes to get to know the USMNT. We also discuss the brand new state-of-the-art Arthur M. Blank Training Center that recently opened in Atlanta and how that facility will benefit the USMNT and USWNT for years to come.

The Orlando Pride hosted Bay FC and made it two straight wins for the first time in 2026. Orlando continued its successful ways against California-based teams with another standout performance by striker Barbra Banda. The Zambian international scored two goals and set up another to lead the Pride to another big three points on the cusp of the World Cup break. Jacquie Ovalle and Zara Chavoshi came off the bench, taking the Pride two steps closer to having a healthy roster.It wasn't all good news, however. The game was fun until Banda picked up an injury late in the game and now we wait to see what the severity is. Losing Banda for any length of time is not ideal for a team reliant on her for goals and hovering near the bottom of the playoff places.We break down the Pride's 3-1 win at home, look back at our score predictions, and make our selections for Player of the Match.This week's mailbagbox asked about Nicole Payne, Tallahassee-based side TLH Reckoning, Orlando Pride players as USWNT starters, 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 the mailbagbox, we look ahead to the USWNT heading to Brazil for a pair of friendlies. These games should be good tests for Emma Hayes' side, and it will be fun to watch Orlando's Brazilians play for their national team.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 125 went down:0:15 – Orlando has its first winning streak of the season with a victory over Bay FC.19:04 - The mailbagbox takes us into the summer break.32:45 - The USWNT heads to Brazil to face a good team with several Pride players on it.
