The U.S. women's national team dropped a result they maybe should have won against Spain in Washington DC, followed by a clawback 2-2 draw that they maybe should have lost. Or do we have it the other way around? Bridie O'Toole of Busy Watching Women's Soccer returns to the show to sort out what the U.S. messed up, what they did well, and these two games taughts us about the USWNT's chances to challenge for a World Cup title.

The Washington Spirit nabbed a crucial win on the road to the Houston Dash over the weekend, but it was only their fourth win in their last 10, and only their fifth result in that span, period. What is going on, and how can it be corrected by the time the playoffs roll around? Jason Anderson of Green Line Soccer joins the guys to uncover every possible thing that may have shifted beyond Leicy Santos's injury.

Fabrice Gautrat's dismissal from the Houston Dash marks the fourth head coach to be fired this year. It feels like a lot. Is it, though? The guys put the NWSL head coach firings in context, and when is appropriate to fire a coach when they may not have as much impact on the field as we've always thought.
Plus, it sucks that Trinity Rodman's presence or absence at Ben Shelton's U.S. Open final became a story. Like, a lot.

The Chicago Stars are comfortably on track to be the worst team in NWSL history. They just sold Jameese Joseph to the Utah Royals, too. What's the plan, here? How can they get back to winning ways in a few years when the roster, front office, and coaching staff are either broken or in flux? The guys try to figure it out.
Plus, why on earth did the Kansas City Current fire Vlatko Andonovski???
