This one got a little loopy
Welcome to part two of Days of Red Stars Past: Beginnings, where Sandra and Claire discuss the Red Stars' first win in the NWSL (against..Portland?) and the first match featuring Vanessa DiBernardo and Julie Johnston in 2014.
They also discuss 2013 NWSL fashion, that one foul, what makes a captain, more fouls, and a player lost to the annals of early Red Stars history. Bear with us, y'all. Quarantine brain is real. Enjoy.
We'll have the viewing guide for our next episode theme once we decide what we're doing, probably sometime this weekend. *
*Also, tell us what you'd like to see! We have some solid ideas, but as this hiatus stretches on for however long, we'd love to hear what eras you guys are interested in hearing about.
Stay safe, love y'all, enjoy

Soccer

Expect the unexpected I guess! Chicago won their first match of the 2022 Challenge Cup 3-1, in a performance against the Houston Dash that showcased tweaks in defense, Mal Pugh in great form, and the ongoing puzzle that is NWSL penalties. We also talk a bit about what to expect on Friday in Chicago's second match against the Kansas City Current

Good Start! Challenge Cup Matchday one recap

We couldn't leave you hanging. Chicago has their first Challenge Cup game on Sunday, March 20 against the Houston Dash, so we sat down to do a check-in on vibes, read some tea leaves on new faces on the roster, and set reasonable expectations for a season that we won't know much about until it happens

One day at a time: Chicago Challenge Cup Preview

We came back for the new year, and promptly so did Yuki Nagasato. Blessed.
We sat down to chat philosophical preferences on Chicago's upcoming coaching hire, an active trade season, and the return of club legend Nagasato, whose return both highlights and could possibly assuage some foundational concerns surrounding the Red Stars this year.

It's 2022 and we are back! at it! We talk Chicago's approach to the 2022 College Draft, Sarah Luebbert staying in Mexico, development, scouting, assets, and one very cool piece of local tv coverage news.

Happy New Year! We back! Draft review, offseason news, TV deals, and more

Chicago didn't do much this week, but that's never stopped us from talking soccer, so why start now! The expansion draft welcoming in the California teams happened on Thursday evening, and we sat down to talk relative value, hindsight, kindnesses, and backstage players. We also talked a bit about the nicest story of the week (not soccer) and what to expect from Chicago's strategy in Saturday's (not) college draft
