Did you miss us? We're back after the longest two week break the world has ever seen and we are here to talk NWSL & World Cup sendoff matches. First up, the NWSL! The NWSL table is on fire and it's because of unexpected results across the league. We dove head first into San Diego vs. Spirit at Snapdragon Stadium and the wild 2-2 draw that saw a PK, the start of Ashley Hatch's Revenge Tour, and young talent in the SD lineup. We're also talking movement in the table. Next, it's the World Cup sendoff games starting with Zambia's 3-2 win vs. Germany that rocked the world before the tournament has even begun. Disturbing news on Zambia's Head Coach has come to light, and we tackle that with a heavy heart. Finally, it's England vs. Portugal and USA vs. Wales. Cause for concern for England? Was this a strong send off performance for the US? A special shoutout to Mike Adams, who usually edits this podcast but has the flu and we missed him dearly this week!
