Friends, Romans, Colleagues, Chicagoans
Welcome to the last episode of Days of Red Stars Past. It's been a journey, but we're getting to the point where we need a little bit more history to happen before we can look back on it again.
So! We discussed: the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and (briefly) 2019 post-season, and wrapped everything up with a hopeful look to the future.
We also wanted to highlight the good work of the Brave Space Alliance, and we'll be trying to continue to amplify the people doing the work in our fair city. Enjoy y'all, and here's to brighter days.

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
