In today's episode, Liam revives a prior series from the beginning of the podcast, Woso Weekly, covering the latest news in women's soccer with insightful analysis.He covers the USWNT's dominant January camp, as the side rolled to back-to-back shutout wins, while showcasing the next wave of talent in Emma Hayes' evolving player pool. He talks about how even with a heavily rotated and relatively inexperienced squad, the U.S. still delivered, as first-time goal scorers and USWNT senior debuts highlighted the team's growing depth. LDG named players who stood out, like Trinity Rodman, who stood out as both a consistent goal scorer and emerging leader, while performances from players like Ally Sentnor, Reilyn Turner, Emma Sears, and Croix Bethune underlined how competitive the forward and attacking midfield picture is becoming ahead of the SheBelieves Cup and World Cup qualifying later this year.The episode also talks about the broader landscape of the women's game, including the inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup, and what the competition reveals about commercial progress and lingering challenges. While FIFA's record-setting prize money signals real financial investment, which poses long-term benefits for the stability of the sport, as the prize money will be reinvested into the sport, there were some disappointments, as LDG highlights, that raised questions about sustainability and execution. He chats about Gotham's loss to Corinthians and Arsenal's dominance, adding context to a tournament that reflects both how far the women's club game has come and how much work remains for the future.Lastly, he talks about Crystal Dunn's retirement and Trinity Rodman's record-breaking contract with the Washington Spirit. As mentioned in the episode, to hear more about Trinity Rodman's move, we did a deep-dive on the Trinity Rodman contract negotiations with the Washington Spirit.Thank you for listening!

It's Champions League Decision Day. All 36 teams kick off at once as the math finally becomes real across Europe. We break down the chaos, the pressure points, and what's at stake, plus takeaways from the USWNT's dominant win over Chile, MLS and Apple's evolving broadcast plans, major roster moves across the league, and more from around the global game.
Trinity Rodman's new contract with the Washington Spirit is more than a star re-signing — it's a statement about where the National Women's Soccer League is headed. In this segment, we break down why it mattered that the league and the Spirit found a way to keep one of the game's most important players at home, including the flexibility shown to make the deal work. We also look at Rodman's impact on the field and on the broader U.S. soccer landscape, and why her presence elevates competition, visibility, and ambition across the league. Finally, we zoom out to the bigger picture: a league that is maturing as a business, adapting in real time, and understanding that star power — when handled responsibly — drives long-term growth.
Champions League Decision Day sets the stakes across Europe, with knockout places, byes, and reputations on the line. We break down what's at risk, who faces real danger, and where opportunity exists to change an entire season in one night. Then we bring it home to Atlanta. Atlanta United's signing of Adrian Gill fits into a longer development pathway, and we hear directly from Matt Edwards on the offseason work, the role of homegrowns, Tata Martino's message, and the identity this team wants to build toward 2026. We also zoom out to the NWSL, where Trinity Rodman's new contract represents more than a star staying put — it's a signal of a league maturing, adapting, and investing in its future. Plus, a look ahead to the USMNT's World Cup preparation, why key player moves matter this summer, and what we want to see from the player pool as camp approaches. All of it wrapped up with the AST 3-4-3: local stories, global headlines, and a few reasons this game still makes us smile.

For the Glory KC is back with the 164th episode of the show!Trigger warning, we get mildly political in the opening three minutes. Skip ahead or stop listening if it's too much for you. Time stamps, as always, towards the bottom of these show notes.Sporting Kansas City had almost nothing officially happen this week. That said, unofficially, there was still a lot going on. First, the rumor from Marca.com is that Robert Lewendowski, one of the greatest strikers in the world, may have interest from Sporting KC. Sure, the story says that the Chicago Fire are in the lead (and the article uses a Fire II graphic in error), but it is still something at least worth talking about. Along with the Fire and SKC, LAFC are mentioned as a possible destination.With new owner Peter Mallouk, all things are possible. That said, this one seems unlikely.Sheena and I break down that rumor, the ongoing Cesar Inga rumors (which appears to finally be dead), the preseason loss to the Fire, and the actual news of a new coaching staff for Sporting KC. But we have to discuss the rumored Footy Headlines kit leak from Sporting KC for their new secondary jersey.It says, "recreated" right on the image, but is it a recreation of a real leak? It does have a variation on the argyle/diamond thing that SKC have been doing. Also, Sporting KC updated their profile pic to neon right after the leak and posted this little video.This may not be the exact kit, but I bet it's pretty close and I like the bold choice. It's a secondary kit, have fun with it! Before we finish with the Sporting KC news, Sheena does a bio of SKC's newest signing, Calvin Harris.The KC Current didn't have much this week, but they did have all four of their USWNT players start in the 6-0 win over Paraguay and announced a couple more preseason games:Sat. JAN 31 - Denver SummitSat. FEB 7 - Angel City FCIn the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:Four countries doing their basecamp in KC: Argentina, Netherlands, England and AlgeriaMLS rule changesTrinity Rodman's record deal to stay in the NWSLA weird LA Galaxy/St. Louis City trade rumorHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC rumors and a coaching staff announcement - 7:42KC Current update - 50:47Digital Crawl - 56:19As 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.

Matt Sahag, who coaches high school girls soccer in Des Moines, joins the pod to discuss a recent pitch from a big ECNL club to players and their parents, discouraging them from playing high school soccer this spring so they can focus on league ECNL play and national showcases.Sahag has responses to the claims made by the club. It's interesting. 13-yr-old's flying out for the weekend to play regular-season games, $2500 trips to Arizona for...what? And you don't get to play against that cross-town rival this season for your school, by the way. AND the pot at the end of this rainbow is probably a partial scholarship at a non-D1 college. Just another slice of the America soccer dilemma.If you want more from Matt on the specifics of the Sporting Iowa pitch, listen to his break-down on Soccer Talks, the Kick It Forward podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e210-high-school-soccer-matters-is-ecnl-super-cup-the-answer/id1458145533?i=1000739927583Join us for the trip to Germany on April 18-26, express interest here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfI4Cp1VpS2eCphsNjf6QHdaRDq86Tf-FeUhJ2tQ0RzkbxQhw/viewform Skip the ads!
