Happy news for women's sports, and four games with 20 goals on 4/20.

Welcome back to an all-new episode of Football is Wife! EVERYONE watched the Women's Basketball Championship, and no one practiced their penalty kicks.

The Chicago Red Stars are way higher on the table than expected, and Mal Swanson is BACK! Has Chicago found happiness at last? Plus! A bra...

The new NWSL season is here! The pals debate the finer points of who wins a season, discuss the opening week of action, and wonder if 11,500 seats are really enough.

It's another episode of Football is Wife! The Pals relive the magic and the memories of NWSL Decision day, including Syd Leroux's BICYCLE KICK.

We're back for another episode of Football is Wife! As the Chicago Red Stars' season winds down, the NWSL playoff race heats up.

The race for the NWSL Playoffs is ON! Do the Red Stars have enough gas in the tank to finish in the top six, or will the middle-of-the-pack teams finally reverse their downward trend? Plus! Casey Krueger takes the crown for NWSL Save of the Week with her heroic goal line clearance, and FIFA goes straight to the trash for announcing the host(sssss) in 2030 before we get a morsel of 2027 WWC news.

We're joined by Houston women's soccer freelance writer, and host of Squad Depth Podcast Theo Lloyd-Hughes! We dive in to the historic sporting rivalry between England and Australia, the tremendous potential of an Australian "99ers" moment, and The Lionesses' cool as a cucumber approach to each World Cup match. Plus: the surprising reactions from England thus far. Will the ex...

We are joined by two VERY special guests, Courtney Stith of Diaspora United, and Sylvs Bullock of Shea Butter FC to feel our feelings about the USWNT's early exit. Where did they go wrong?

Join us for a USWNT postmortem, *and* to revisit the origin of the "tallest podcast in sports&q...

We vent about the USWNT-Portugal match, and go back in time to try and pinpoint where the US went wrong. We don't know why Vlatko won't make subs... or change his tactics... or name a consistent roster. The USWNT has 99 problems and none of them are getting solved before their Sweden match. Is a historically early exit on the horizon?

We react to the latest USWNT World Cup match. Does a draw against the Netherlands spell trouble for the Round of 16? We have questions about Vlatko Andonovski's substitute strategy, and look ahead to the next match against Portugal.

The pals check in on the latest news out of Angel City, make their picks for the USWNT World Cup Roster, and buckle up for a world of hurt against the Portland Thorns this weekend.

The Pals dive in to a week of Sports docs, Super Teams, and Super Leagues! The Angel City documentary is here, and the pals share their praise (and notes). They debate the pros and cons of having a second pro soccer league, and ask Cathy Englebert for some real expansion progress after a tough week of cuts in the WNBA.
