Settle the Score

On today's episode Allyson and Madalyn discuss the surprising upsets and resulting wild table from this week's NWSL Challenge Cup matches, try and fail to pronounce Louisville, and make predictions for next week's games!  Let us know what you think about the Challenge Cup so far at [email protected]!

The NWSL is back and we cover every match so far! From the seemingly unstoppable North Carolina Courage, to the energetic and youthful Washington Spirit, to fake crowd noises, to the confusingly new Chicago Red Stars and Casey and Julie's emotional anthem display of friendship and leadership, we talk about everything that went down the first week of having soccer back.  So kick back, relax, and catch up on all of the NWSL action, just in time for more games tomorrow!  Tell us your thoughts on this first week at [email protected].

Settle the Score is back for season 3 with a special preview of The Challenge Cup.  We update you on rosters, the withdrawal of Orlando from the tournament, and who we think is going to take home the trophy. Plus, we catch you up on all the soccer goings-on that happened during our break, including Alex Morgan's baby, US Soccer's BLM response, and Carli Lloyd's indefensible tweet.  Reach out to us at [email protected]!

On today's episode we talk about the 2006 women's soccer film, She's The Man! Amanda Bynes does some pretty questionable drag kinging, David Cross is delightfully random, and Channing Tatum has abs.  We try to figure out just how offended we actually are by all of this. If you haven't seen the movie in awhile, give it a watch and then come make fun of it with us!  And as always, feel free to reach out at [email protected].

We were devastated when we heard about the judge's ruling in the USWNT's lawsuit, but also a little confused. On today's episode we have on Alyssa Work, an actual lawyer, to explain what's going on with the team's legal journey to equal pay.  We also talk about what's been going on in the NWSL and take the 2015 World Cup Roster challenge!

Without new soccer to watch, we've taken to USSoccer's new sport: brac"kit"ology.  That's right, we're ranking kits. We also do a general state of the union, talk about what Covid-19 has been like for us, for the national team, and what we think it will mean for the NWSL.  And, of course, we send out well-wishes to the very pregnant Alex Morgan and give our thanks for Ashlyn and Ali's adorable Instagram workouts.

Without much soccer news, we wanted to try something lighthearted for this Friday's episode. We're talking all about Alex Morgan's star turn in her 2018 feature film, Alex & Me.  We liked it, we swear, but there were some hilarious things in this straight-to-video artistic masterpiece of our time like: cartoonishly evil fathers, posters that come to life, and a goalie who can't keep the ball out of the net because of her pesky allergies.  And sure, Alex's acting leaves something to be desired, but the movie was a great time. Watch on Amazon or YouTube to follow along with us! As always, you can reach us at [email protected].

On today's episode we spend a lot of time talking about what life has been like for us during the Covid-19 outbreak in the United States, especially since Allyson is a health care professional who works in a hospital. But we also talk about what the cancelling of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics means for the USWNT, the resignation of Carlos Cordeiro, and which USWNT members are providing us with the best Insta-content during social distancing. 

On today's episode we discuss the unbelievably sexist USSF documents that were released on Monday, the USWNT's classy and powerful response, as well as Cordeiro's idiotic and unacceptable apology that was read at the end of the Japan game. We also discuss the Spain and Japan matches, as well as the cancellation of the April games due to Coronavirus.

On today's podcast we talk about the USWNT's first game in the She Believes Cup!  Spoiler: we big-time won.  We discuss the lineup, whether Mewis or Horan should be starting, if Becky is slowing down, and Julie Ertz's game-winning smile.  Plus, share your USWNT friendship stories with us by emailing [email protected].
