Nos Audietis

It's a tradition unlike any other, but one Reign FC fans always love. We have a chat with Jess Fishlock. Now that she's got a couple of matches under her belt for Reign FC, hear from her how she's getting acclimated with the squad and new surroundings after a memorable loan spell at Lyon. While she enjoyed a lot of success on the field playing for the French side, it was two milestones off the field that bigger for the Welsh midfielder - announcing she's writing her life story, and being awarded as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE).

Always a fun, engaging chat with Fishlock and this quite possibly be the most engaging one yet, especially when you hear her stance on pineapple on pizza.

The Women’s World Cup is under way. While many pundits have called this the deepest and potentially most entertaining WWC in history, there are still many issues bubbling just beneath the surface. Equal pay, investment in the women’s game domestically and prize money are just a few of them. 

I decided to call up two experts in soccer governance in Professor Steven Bank from UCLA, and journalist Beau Dure, formerly of USA today and publisher of several books on soccer. We discuss the prize money disparity, the USWNT lawsuit and Hope Solo’s crusade against the USSF.

The Women’s World Cup is upon us and on this episode, I’m joined by Meg Linehan, a writer at The Athletic. We touch a bit on her background at the NWSL before moving to The Athletic full time. She'll be in France covering the Women’s World cup, mainly focused on the USWNT, but writing other stories on the tournament as well. We talk about the monster WWC primer she wrote for The Athletic, and preview the tournament.

We also talk about some of the off-field issues surrounding women's soccer, including the equal pay, the Women's National Team lawsuit, the future of the NWSL and the Hope Solo crusade against the U.S. Soccer Federation.

The thing you've been waiting for within the podcast is back - Reign FC player interviews! The first installment of Reign FC player interviews features forward Bethany Balcer. She's quickly making a name for herself in a team already loaded with plenty of marquee names and it's time to get to know a little bit more about her.

Who would portray her in a hypothetical biopic? What is it about teammate Shea Groom that she would like to incorporate into her game? How does she feel about pineapple on pizza?

You'll discover the answers to that and more on this episode.

Sounder at Heart contributor and attorney Miki Turner sits down with Seattle Sounders General Manager and President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey for an in-depth conversation. We talk his post-MLS career, surviving law school and the bar exam, and his transition from corporate lawyer to MLS executive. We also discuss his early time at Real Salt Lake, why he decided to join the Sounders organization, and his role in transforming the Sounders' youth academy and second team. I also ask him what he thinks about all of the lawsuits that seem to be consuming American soccer.

It’s been three weeks since we last record and, wow, has a lot happened. The Sounders have played four matches, going 1-0-3, made two huge signings and, most recently, suffered one particularly painful loss.

By now, you’ve surely heard that Chad Marshall has decided to retire, effective immediately. The decision, best we can tell, was a bit sudden, but also somewhat forced by the knowledge that there was some degredation going on in his surgically repaired knee. Marshall was one of just two players remaining from the Sounders 2014 double-winning squad, was still one of the best defenders in the league at the age of 34 and was genuinely considered one of the most popular player among teammates.

Luckily, it looks like the Sounders are in a good position to cover for his loss. Roman Torres has been playing well, going 90 minutes in all three games last week. The Sounders also have signed Marshall’s expected longterm replacement, Ecuador international Xavier Arreaga. Arreaga was one of two deadline day signings, with the other being Joevin Jones.
