- "We've done enough to suffer less" [Spirit v. Dash Review]
Annie, Ella & André reviewed the Spirit getting back to goals and winning ways down in Houston.
We discuss getting an early goal, dominating in and out of possession, then allowing a late half equalizer (oops!). The same thing happened in the second half, until the Spirit's depth and new signing Clara Luvanga got her first NWSL goal.
We also look at the international break and all the callups, what they mean, and why the timing of this international break literally could not be worse.

59 min - Three 6 Midfield [Spirit v. Angel City Review]
Annie, Ella & André review another flat attacking performance and loss at Rowdy Audi. Well, kinda.
Since not much happened in the game (both teams finished below 1.0 xG) we zoomed out for a bigger picture view of the current state of the Spirit. We discuss the three 6 midfield, load bearing Leicy Santos, team construction, a changing team at the end of a season, and the realities of a precision attack with an unfamiliar squad.

1 hr 4 min - Three goals, three points, & a chicken wing [Spirit v. Stars Review]
Annie, Ella & André are delighted to be back discussing a Spirit win! It was a cold, damp and windy day by the lake, but the Spirit started strong, scored early, and finished with a comfortable scoreline and clean sheet.
We discuss the much needed result, the good and 'still needs work' aspects of the performance, Trinity Rodman's quest for 10g/10a, Mélissa Bethi's injury, wide forward Sofia Cantore, and much more.

57 min - We're sorry to have to do this [Spirit v. Boston Review]
Annie, Ella & André react to a shocking loss to Boston Legacy, that forces us to have bigger picture conversations about the Spirit's current approach.
We discuss the dreaded 'p' word (patience) and the tactical nuances of the NWSL that are disrupting the Spirit's preferred approach. We dive deep on proactive vs. reactive setups, winning the mini-games within the game, and loosening the requirement for sophistication with an evolving roster.
After, we check on a few former Spirits with new clubs, and tell you what to expect from new and exciting signing Clara Luvanga.

57 min - Victory in Portland & Welcome to IFAB Corner [Spirit v. Thorns Review]
Annie, Ella & André react to the Washington Spirit's first ever win at Providence Park, coming from behind to beat the Thorns 2-1.
We discuss the no good very bad first half, which included conceding a penalty, plodding attacking play, and a half that ended with just two shots—both taken by center backs.
Thankfully the second half was a different story. We review the halftime adjustments, Tara Rudd's penalty, the tweak that led to Mélissa Bethi's game winner, Andi's sacrifice to ensure victory, and we welcome everyone into IFAB Corner.

51 min - August Dub, Dynamic Debuts, & Healing Vibes [Spirit v. Bay Review]
Annie, Ella & André finally have another Spirit dub to talk about! The Spirits bagged a goal just before halftime and kept a clean sheet to earn their first win since don't worry about it.
Anyway, we discuss the lineup, starting intensity, the tactical assist from Bay, and finally scoring a goal. We also rave about Mélissa Bethi and Monique Ngock's debuts. However it wasn't all good. We discuss not finding the second goal, and send healing vibes to Ashley Hatch and Kate Wiesner who were both subbed off with painful injuries.

1 hr - Maybe don't play the Pride on Pride Night [Spirit v. Orlando Review]
Annie, Ella & André review the Spirit's Pride Night 0-1 loss to Orlando Pride.
We discuss the early goal and the Spirit's struggles to score. We talk about hitting the post, a plethora of box touches, dominating possession, and still only getting three shots on target.
After, we zoom out to talk about the real reason(s) the Spirit are suddenly struggling to score. We discuss squad building, and the lack of an attacking midfield profile when Leicy Santos is unavailable.

1 hr 6 min - Life After Soccer, DC Love, & Trans Rights (w/ Gaby Vincent)
Ella and André were delighted to be joined by former Washington Spirit midfielder, Gaby Vincent!

Annie, Ella & André were honored to chat with Washington Spirit striker Ashley Hatch!
Hatch was recently activated to the matchday roster after taking maternity leave to start a family, giving birth to her son Leo seven months ago.

43 min - Ummmm What Was That [Spirit v. Courage Review]
Annie, Ella & André react to, erm, whatever that was.
We do our best to talk through the Spirit going down 0-3 in fifteen minutes, the immediate reaction (meh) and the post-halftime reaction (better!). We look at how the game model, lineup decisions and gameplan created a perfect storm that the Courage were thrilled to take advantage of.
Come commiserate with us, and hope we never have to speak of this game ever again!
