The MF crew discuss the devastating and unfortunate injury news that USWNT and Gotham FC's Midge Purce has torn her ACL and will be out for the rest of the NWSL season. How will this affect Gotham's chance at a repeat title? And with the Olympic's looming this summer, and Purce being in fantastic form, you can't do anything but feel for her. Just gut-wrenching. This does however open the door for Yazmeen Ryan to step into the role full-time as she's shown flashes of greatness herself and is only 25 years old.

The MF crew weigh in on whether USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter's stock has gone up or down after the team took home the title at Nations League. Charlie and Nico's feelings are opposite on this and they debate it out. Another trophy was added to the team cabinet but it took a 90+ minute own goal in the semis for Berhalter's side to even reach the final. And with Mexico's side being so poor, and the US the strongest it's arguably ever been, it made the win feel routine vs significant. Then, a discussion about Mexico and how this team is beyond poor and why that is? And finally, what US players stocks have gone down.

The MF crew breakdown last night's USMNT victory over Jamaica 3-1. The scoreline doesn't tell the story of what really happened as the US conceded almost immediately to start the game and it took an own goal late in stoppage time to send the match to extra time.
