The Chicago Red Stars have played their final match at SeatGeek Stadium before they become Chicago Stars FC. Unfortunately, the team could not overcome their ongoing issues of playing at home and fell 3-1 to Kansas City Current. 

It was a tale of two halves, and LT and Liz will break down the differences, the tactical and personnel changes made after going down 3-0, and how that second half is important for this Friday’s playoff match.

Speaking of playoffs, Friday November 8th at 7pm CT, the Chicago Red Stars play Shield winners Orlando Pride in the quarterfinals of the NWSL playoffs! LT and Liz have a preview of the match!

Starting in the 2025 NWSL season, the Chicago Red Stars will be known as Chicago Stars FC. So, how are we feeling about the change? LT and Liz are joined by one of the original Red Stars Report community members, Jules, in a discussion about what the change means to them, the fans, and the club’s future.

All three have differing perspectives and thoughts on the new name, the new logo, and how this rebrand was executed.

Let us know your thoughts on the rebrand in the comments or anywhere you interact with us in the community!

Not a great performance by the Red Stars this week, but they maintain their 6th place on the table (for now) and move into the last match of the season. But first, seven internationals on the team have been called up to their country’s teams for the international break!

LT & Liz spend maybe a little too much time discussing the double red card fight between Ludmila and Rosemonde Kouassi. What were your thoughts on the altercation? Let us know in the comments!

Liz also shares a story from her days as a soccer player and getting into an altercation with an opposing player.

The Chicago Red Stars may have dropped their 1st chance to clinch a playoff berth by losing 2-0 to Gotham FC. However, Washington Spirit winning 4-1 over Louisville did the job for Chicago! The Red Stars are in the playoffs!

LT & Liz spend a good portion of the episode reflecting on what this playoff berth means for the club, then they get into the loss to Gotham. They laugh, we reminisce, they celebrate the foundation laid for this new era of the Red Stars.

A loss and a win. Maybe we’ll spend 5% of the episode on the loss and 95% on the win - sounds fair?

Even in a 2-0 win against Houston, LT and Liz have a few things they believe the team should clean up down this final stretch.

We also celebrate the re-signing of Alyssa Naeher to a new contract, her milestone minutes passed, and Shea Groom’s milestone-filled weekend.

Not quite a complete performance by the Chicago Red Stars, but a win nonetheless!

Ally Schlegel is back! Cari Roccaro is playing Center Back and Julia Grosso is finally in the defensive midfield. Things are looking up if the club can grow on this performance.

Next up is San Diego in what would’ve been the Riot Fest match. Thankfully the team will comfortably take on the Wave in Bridgeview as originally scheduled. See you there!

An announcement by Grant kicks off the episode.

I want everyone to know how proud of Grant we are for everything they’re building in their life and career. 

On the Red Stars side, they’ve now lost 3 matches (regular season) in a row and LT and Liz are here to talk about what went wrong and what went right against Orlando.

Marta is obviously gonna Marta.

We also dive into the Ballon d’Or nominations for Mallory Swanson and Alyssa Naeher, as well as the contract extension of Jenna Bike!

Alex Morgan retired over the weekend and obviously wasn’t a Red Star at ay point in her career, but we thought it was important to talk about her impact on the women’s soccer world.

And of course we’re back with another preview of the next opponent. This time we take a look at the Portland Thorns and how the matchup will look for he Red Stars this week.

Losing to Angel City right before the Red Stars take on the best club in the league is not ideal, but LT and Liz are here to discuss the positive takeaways from this match, as always! 

Penelope Hocking was traded to Bay FC, we’ll show what this means for Chicago’s front line now and in the future, especially with her roster spot being filled by Moroccan International Rosella Ayane on a loan.

And Hannah Anderson signed a 3-year contract extension thru 2027. We’ll look at there impact in leadership and on-the-field development this season that lead to this signing.
