Welcomed on Anthony DiCicco who is the son of USWNT Coach from 1994-1999. He joined CrunkChocolate for a wonderful discussion about how he fell in love with the sport, a bit on his father, the growth in US Women's soccer, and more.

TOPICS:

- Intro

- How did you fall in love with soccer/football

- You have a truly one of a kind experience being the son of Tony DiCicco experiencing the USWNT squad. Did it feel like you were seeing the birth of the US women’s football renaissance?

- Watching the women’s game grow in the US. What are the next step(s) for the game to continue to grow?

- Conversation about which is the “better” league between NWSL and WSL. Is there a correct answer or should we enjoy the leagues for what each offers?

- USMNT has disappointed many for some time under this golden generation? Should we as fans accept that getting to the round of 16 in the WC and possibly being the best club in CONCACAF is all we will get? Does the US Soccer fan base expect too much from the squad?
