The 2024 NWSL season is more than 75 percent over, but the playoff picture has yet to come into sharp focus.

In this episode, we take a look at the match of the week between top-of-the-table Orlando Pride and the somewhat-reeling Kansas City Current.

After that, we play a game of "arrow pointing up" or "arrow pointing down." You can probably guess the gist of the game.

17:35 - Seattle Reign FC

24:35 - Bay FC

30:00 - Portland Thorns FC

We joined Shades of Blue, the internet's finest Manchester City FC podcast, to talk about the UEFA Women's Champions League. There's obviously a fair amount of MCFC discussion here, but we talk about several other teams in the tournament, as well.

We covered a lot of ground from what happened in Round 1 of qualifying to the draw for Round 2, so here are the highlights:

Orlando Pride kept their scorching form vs. Gotham FC this past weekend, and Dino was in the press box to witness it.

We start this episode with the undefeated Pride, their seemingly endless list of excellent players, their stout defense, and their gutsy style of play.

After that, we take a trip to the middle of the table, where big results in Matchweek 18 has set us up for another round of bangers this coming weekend.

The four teams from 8-11 are only separated by four points in the table, and they play each other this week:

- Angel City FC vs. Seattle Reign FC

- Bay FC vs. Racing Louisville

We talked about the implications of those matches and the overall chances of the teams battling for the final two playoff spots.

The UEFA Women's Champions League is returning, and we are PSYCHED.

For those who picked us up over the last couple months covering the USWNT, the entire genesis of this podcast was built on us wanting a place to talk about last year's UWCL, and we've made dozens (DOZENS!) of internet friends since.

In this episode, we talk about the early qualifying stages of the UWCL, which kickoff Sept. 4 and Sept. 7. We bounce around and talk about some of the first matches and clubs that have piqued our interest -- some more surprising than others:
