The plan was to have Reo, host, journalist and producer of Tested Podcast, on to just chat about some soccer. They're a massive women's soccer fan and the idea was to just yap about soccer instead of the deeply heavy stuff they usually get called on to discuss — and then World Athletics did something stupid. Ugh.

But before we get into that, Reo & André relive the absolute cinema that was the Gran Final of the Copa América Femenina. We discuss bad decisions, then suddenly great decisions, and all the drama and bangers along the way.

Then we dive into NWSL stuff. We discuss Trinity Rodman's triumphant return, what might be wrong with Angel City and Bay FC, Ally Sentnor's trade to Kansas City, and North Carolina's frustrating fumbling of a press conference they scheduled.

After, we get into World Athletics' new decision to restart sex testing. Reo takes us through the history, the premise and guise used to continue to bring these tests back up, what they are and the flawed science around them, and what we can do to help push back against this alarming trend across women's sports.

André welcomes Amelia Lopez to the pod to discuss the Concacaf W Champions Cup!

We review the final round of the inaugural tournament, the vibes from Liga MX Femenil sides, plus Emily Sonnett's extremely Concacafy penalty draw. Then, we get into the tournament overall. What did they get right? What could be better? What's the importance of international club competitions? How can it be improved in the future?

(Plus Amelia drops some #NEWS at the end of the episode.)

With Courtney still swamped André welcomed Tamerra Griffin back on the pod!

We start by discussing the breaking news of Angel City signing Sveindis Jane Jónsdóttir, what it could mean for the next step of her career, ACFC's ambitions, and the NWSL continued quest to lure young European talents.

Then we dive into the USWNT roster, and delight at Lo LaBonta finally being given her flowers. We chat about what it means, and hope Casey Krueger's edible arrangement is on the way. After, we preview the UWCL Final. Do Arsenal have a chance? How can Barcelona be beaten? What does André, a Chelsea fan, truly hope for?

At the end we review Jessica Berman's awkward partnership with Unwell. From influencer culture, to courting new fans, to coplaying SGs, there's a lot to unpack!

In this episode André is delighted to be joined by Executive Director of the NWSLPA, Meghann Burke!

You may have heard, the NWSL & NWSLPA agreed to yet another CBA (though the full text wasn't released until recently). This agreement builds on the previous agreement from 2022 to include revenue sharing, minimum salaries, a cap floor, guaranteed contracts, no trades without consent, the abolishment of all drafts, and even more.

It's a historic, and hard fought for agreement, so we get into the details, what it means to the players, how it came about, the big brained players at the table, plus a brilliant story about Brianna Pinto.

With Courtney still working hard, André welcomes Sylvs (Shea Butter FC) to the pod!

We start by reviewing the weekend's Women's Champions League (UWCL) matchups. We look at what went wrong for Arsenal, and discuss why Lyon's frontline is the best in the world. Then we begrudgingly discuss Chelsea's 4-1 loss to Barcelona. Sonia Bompastor got on our nerves, and we talk about why, and exactly how.

Then we preview the second legs before switching focus to discuss the NWSL overall. Is the sudden formation of a big 4 (erm, 3) good or bad for the league? What does a successful team build look like? Does a salary cap really lead to parity? Plus how to instantly tell whether a rookie talent has a great chance at becoming great.

After that, it's the return of Heated & Hyped. We're both frustrated by the NWSL and SafeSport, but end on a high note with the return of Big Fish and the WNBA regular season getting closer.

WE BACK! Well, kinda. Courtney is still swamped by broso so André brought in Skye from Shea Butter FC for an NWSL vibe check!

Each team has only played three regular season games, but since we're already headed into an international break now is a good time to look at what we've seen from each team. We start from the bottom of the table and work our way to the top as we check-in on how each team in the league is doing,

After, we get Skye's insights on what is going on in Angel City, and why this is such a crucial year for the club. André is shocked and appalled at the list of coaches Angel City fans have endured, and they both wonder very loudly why Christen Press is only getting stoppage time minutes.

Another NWSL season is upon us so, with Courtney deep in the trenches, André chatted all about it with friend of the pod, Kudzi!

The team-by-team, player-by-player preview pods are out there, so we wanted to focus on bigger picture topics from the season. Will we continue to see a tactical style shift across the league? How will new roster construction mechanisms impact squad cohesion? Will there be another clear top-4 this season?

After, we step back even further than the games and discuss the league overall, and it not seeming up to the fights it will undoubtedly find itself in. We look at the political landscape, current investigations and lack of receipts from the league and ask: Are they ready to protect their players? Is there a developing schism between the league, some players, and its most dedicated fanbase? And: What is the cost of silence?

Courtney & André recap a very interesting SheBelieves Cup in which several things were learned. We start by reviewing the final game, USWNT vs. Japan, before looking at the tournament overall.

We discuss Japan not being done reloading, USWNT coach Emma Hayes missing crucial opportunities, Colombia needing a refresh, and Australia having no plans after 2023.

CW/TW: Apologies for not noting this during the episode, but after USWNT chat we get into the racist and misogynistic abuse of Bunny Shaw, the dangers of the situation Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis were in, and Mapi Leon's inappropriate touching of Daniela Caracas. This section begins at 46:01.

Courtney & André react to what Emma Hayes is calling her first real callup after having seen a number of players up close. We discuss the pleasant surprises/additions, but also dive into key questions for all four position groups.

After, we discuss the racist and misogynistic abuse of Bunny Shaw, and why shouting 'There's no place for that!' isn't enough. Courtney also dissects the seriousness of the situation Sam Kerr was in. Then the two talk about the inherent transphobia in Mapi Leon's aggression towards Daniela Caracas, and who Leon's statement reminded us of (extremely derogatory).
