HEY SPIRITS episodes:

October 20, 2025 What to make of a weird game?
Annie & Ella chat about a very weird final home game for the Spirit.
We discuss two own goals, a beautiful team, and just how fans should react to the end of Washington's winning streak. We also share our opinions on stutter step penalty kicks, try to list all of the Spirit players called up in this international window, and mention a referee once again getting it mostly right.

October 13, 2025 Rain, Rotation, & Rodman's Left [Spirits v. Courage Review]
Annie, Ella & André review a soggy and desperate night in Cary, North Carolina.
We discuss North Carolina playing desperate (and well) and the Spirit matching their intensity despite using all subs by the 67th minute. We discuss the good then bad box defending, Trinity Rodman's left foot, Narumi Miura's development, and we actually have nice things to say about referees this time! 😱

October 09, 2025 Spirits, Super Falcons, and Afrobeats (w/ Deb Abiodun)
Ella & André were delighted to be joined by the one and only—the rookie of the month in her first full month in the NWSL—Deborah Abiodun!
We get into her journey into professional soccer, from playing with her brothers in Nigeria, to streetball and camps, to the University of Pittsburgh and Super Falcons.
We also discuss her loan to Dallas Trinity, and how each phase of her career has prepared her for the whirlwind journey she's had over the past few years.
Also, we got to break the news of Deb winning Assist of the Week and it was awesome to hear her live reaction! Plus, in true Hey Spirits fashion, we also chat about Wizkid, Afrobeats, DJ'ing, shross or crot, candy corn, and more!

October 07, 2025 DOMINATION! FRUSTRATION! ELATION! [Spirits v. San Diego Review]
Annie, Ella & André recap yet another magical moment at Rowdy Audi!
The Washington Spirit secured their 100th regular season win in dramatic fashion. Washington dominated the match, and got an early goal from Rose Kouassi, but the search for second went on and on, as did frustration with inconsistent refereeing. Then San Diego made it worse by equalizing deep in second half stoppage time.
But Rose Kouassi came to the rescue yet again. Was it a crot or a shross? It doesn't matter, it was the match winning final shot of the match that reclaimed all three points!

Annie & André review a hard earned point in Kansas City, courtesy of a 0-0 draw.
We discuss the Spirit's lineup and dominance of possession, coping with the Current's quick and direct counters, how the match changed without Chawinga, and of course give our thoughts on the two yellow cards for Hal Hershfelt that left the Spirit down a player.

We break down the tactical fluidity that kept Seattle off balance, then spotlight Deb Abiodun's unreal debut, the New Trin dropping a brace, dimes from Leicy Santos and Croix Bethune, patience, spaces instead of positions, and a lot more!
