Hope you all are staying safe, as well as you can.
Here's part two of our conversation about Christen Press, Chicago Red Star. We discuss captaincy, change, growth, jobs, loyalties, and much more.
I've also spent some time this weekend compiling together as many resources as possible to help make it easy to find funds that need support in this moment. Check that out, and give if you can, and take care of yourselves

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
