The European transfer window has closed, and some pretty significant pieces of business happened!

We never promised that we'd be good at this, so we recorded the full show on Jan. 29 -- the day before the window closed -- but we reconvened and recorded a new intro to the episode on Jan. 30 to talk about Keira Walsh to Chelsea, Chloe Kelly to Arsenal, Crystal Dunn to PSG, and more!

0:00 - Walsh, Kelly, Adriana, Dunn, and Weinrother

11:58 - Real intro to the show!

13:08 - Chelsea vs. Arsenal recap

21:00 - Aston Villa vs. Manchester City recap

25:37 - WSL table + City vs. Arsenal preview

30:01 - What to make of the NWSL transfers

36:20 - Crystal Dunn leaving Gotham FC (as we saw things before the PSG reports)

38:28 - Mal Swanson yet to report to Chicago Stars FC

39:56 - Messiah Bright, Temwa Chawinga, Hannah Betfort

42:01 - Engen and Walsh want out of Barca? (again, before the confirmation of Walsh to Chelsea)

45:22 - Thoughts on Chloe Kelly's IG posts and City's handling of the situation

48:25 - Mini production meeting on the show because we're thoughtful professionals

In this episode, Grant had the privilege to sit down with one of NWSL media's OGs: Susie Rantz of the incredible football news website, "Sounder at Heart."

After that, Dino gives an update from the good vibes at Orlando Pride training camp, where the double champions look to follow up an all-time season.

Dino spoke with Kylie Strom, who played great after switching from LB to CB between the 2023 and 2024 seasons and played a key role in the league's best defense. Ya know, normal stuff.

Then we hit some WSL news. Did you hear they play football in England, too? And some of our NWSL players went there? We talk about *those* moves and preview the matches you'd expect an Arsenal and Manchester City fan to preview.

0:00 - Susie Rantz from "Sounder at Heart"

29:30 - Orlando Pride's opening day of training camp with audio from Kylie Strom

37:20 - Kerolin to Manchester City Football Club!

42:50 - Naomi Girma to Chelsea Football Club!

48:05 - WSL vs. NWSL because everything must be a battle for global supremacy (but in a fun way)

53:50 - Chelsea vs. Arsenal

56:10 - Aston Villa vs. Manchester City

Big thanks again to Susie Rantz from Sounder at Heart. If you're interested in Seattle Reign FC, you should immediately check out and support their work. If you're MLS-curious, they also have great stuff on the Seattle Sounders, as the website name would suggest.

We're in the middle of the transfer window and NWSL training camps have only just started, but that's not going to stop us from previewing the upcoming 2025 NWSL season.

In this episode, Dino and Grant are joined by Mike Watts, one of the longtime voices of the NWSL across multiple networks.

Mike gave us some great stories from discussions he had with coaches and club executives last season and was just an overall good dude to chat with.

We ended up bouncing around a little bit, so we touched on the recent Jaedyn Shaw news, how he thinks the top-4 will shake out this year, how he defines "team culture" based on what he sees from each club, who from the broadcast teams picks the coffee joints and restaurants on the road, and so much more.

Listen for Mike's sharp insights into the teams and players across the NWSL, and stick around for Mike chastising Grant for making a ridiculous ask at the end of the show. (For the record, Grant stands by this request and will defend it moving forward.)
