Lisa Carlin, Christine Cupo, and Sandra Herrera open up the show by celebrating now international retiree Alyssa Naeher's greatest moments. From the Olympics to the World Cups, she truly went out on top. Next, the A3 crew draw their critical eye to the Houston Dash in the new recurring segment "NWSL Team Needs." They finished dead last at the end of 2024, what's it gonna take for them to get out of the basement. Then, the group open up the A3 Mailbag to answer your questions. And finally, ICYMI: News & Notes, that includes chats about Jill Ellis and her move to FIFA, the US Soccer End of the Year Awards, all the latest NWSL free agency moves, and Carli Lloyd's induction into the US Soccer Hall of Fame.
