That's a wrap on International Break of 2025! We're joined by Amy O'Connor and we're talking all things USWNT and England Lioness matches including their opponents of course! The US took on Italy twice and we're asking the questions that everyone wants to hear: the GK situation? Is this the starting back line? Does Sara miss the 'glory days' or are they still here? Next, onto the England squad that is seeing so much youth. A sell out at Wembley vs. China but how much did we really learn about the Lioness squad? Sara sings Georgia Stanway's praises and a debate about attendance arises. Episode edited by Mike Adams @monkeyhillmedia. Follow us on socials @thewososhow Learn more about your ad choices.

Texas cashed in big at the Players Era Championship, literally, but the real jackpot was Rori Harmon's clutch game-winner to knock off South Carolina and shake up the national rankings. UCLA may have stumbled in Vegas, but the Bruins bounced back with a statement win over Tennessee. On the footy international stage, the USWNT wrapped up 2025 in style with two dominant victories over Italy under head coach Emma Hayes. We love where the USWNT is headed.Women's Sports Weekly is turning 100 next week!

[Note: This episode was recorded Monday night, prior to the Pride signing Hailie Mace on Tuesday.]The Orlando Pride are coming off back-to-back NWSL semifinal appearances, and much of the credit for that just walked out the door. Haley Carter is leaving her post as the club's vice president of soccer operations and sporting director to pursue other opportunities. It was not welcome news, as Carter has done well to help install the right kind of culture with the Pride — one that shows the utmost respect for the players and protects them from the kind of things that have given the NWSL a few black eyes over the years. Her legacy is turning Orlando into a place players want to play and turning a perennial doormat into one of the better clubs in the league, both on and off the pitch.After our discussion about Carter's departure, we discussed Emily Sams playing for the USWNT in her club's home stadium and her thoughts on Carter's departure.Our mailbagbox basically just wants to dunk on the Washington Spirit for this episode, but at least Washington got to the final game. That said, it probably hurts worse to lose a final than a semifinal, so...yeah. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. 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 went through the Pride's end-of-season contract status update. Orlando has 23 players under contract for 2026 (24 with Tuesday's signing of Hailie Mace), and we tell you who is and isn't on the squad at the moment. There weren't a ton of surprises, but we will miss Carson Pickett's golazos and Simone Charley's fire.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 111 went down:0:15 – Haley Carter built a thing and then let it go, because if you love something, you set it free. Yeah, let's go with that.11:53 - Our mailbagbox just wants the Washington Spirit to feel shame.21:52 - All player contract statuses are accounted for. We wish Ally Watt good luck in Denver (except when she plays Orlando).

It's the final USWNT match of the year and the girls are ending 2025 with a bang. Jaedyn Shaw glazes, Emma Hayes cells, and Captain Cat Macario. This game had it all and the vibes are high heading into 2026.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.
Catarina Macario and Jaedyn Shaw powered the USWNT to a 2-0 win over Italy, sealing a fourth straight victory to close out 2025. Darian Jenkins, Lori Lindsey and McCall Zerboni break down the result and what it tells us about where Emma Hayes' squad is headed. The crew digs into the team's strongest emerging partnerships and how Hayes' expanded player pool is reshaping the depth chart. Claire Hutton and Olivia Moultrie earn special praise, while Kate Wiesner impresses in her first senior call-up. And of course, the ladies wax poetic about Cat Macario and how the Chelsea star has quelled the Triple Espresso chatter with recent performances. The crew also tackle the puzzling omission of Emily Sonnett from U.S. Soccer's Female Player of the Year nominees. And finally, they tie a bow on the USWNT's 2025, from memorable moments to the storylines that will carry into the new year.

On today's Morning Espresso, we're charging into a massive week for the sport with the World Cup Draw now just days away.

For the Glory KC is back with the 155th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City and the KC Current did literally nothing this week, so we are filling in with offseason content!Sheena and I did our first ever "For the Glory KC Awards" and gave out many fake prizes to players on both teams. From MVP to Newcomer of the year to strange categories like best hair and best personality. There are the awards you'd expect and everything in between.We also asked the question, which is more shocking? Peter Vermes getting fired with nearly four years left on his contract or Vlatko Andonovski stepping down unexpectedly after the greatest regular season in NWSL history?Speaking of Vermes, he was reported to be up for the Atlanta United job that ultimately went to Tata Martino. Which left the question, where should Peter land if he stays in MLS? There are only a few jobs left open and the New York Red Bulls one looks like it's going to Michael Bradley (according to Tom Bogert of the Athletic). So that only left open the Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (soon enough), St. Louis City and of course Sporting KC.In addition to picking Vermes' landing spot, we ponder the question of how nervous should we be that Sporting KC still only have 14 signed players and no coach with preseason set to start in just over five weeks on January 10th?We also cover the news about Kansas City and the 2031 Women's World Cup, Bia Zaneratto possibly heading to Brazil and a lot of USWNT news for the full team, U-23s and U-20s.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:MLS Cup where everyone is rooting for Vancouver over MiamiThe 2028 Copa America maybe coming to the USAPhoenix possibly landing MLS and NWSL expansion teamsand UMKC's NCAA Tournament fateHere is a rundown of topics and start times:End of Year Awards - 3:22Sporting KC roster, coach and Vermes' fate - 47:222031 WWC Update - 56:28KC Current roundup - 1:04:12She Scores - 1:06:35Digital Crawl - 1:17:31Upcoming GamesMLS Cup: Vancouver Whitecaps vs Inter Miami, Saturday, Dec. 6th at 1:30PM CSTWorld Sevens Football TourneyWomen's College Cup (CPKC Stadium)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.
