Special guest Becky Sauerbrunn joins host Meg Linehan to talk all things USWNT, the SheBelieves Cup, and her post-career transition to broadcasting with TNT Sports, as well as her podcasting with Sam Mewis. The conversation also dips into being on the other side of the media divide, USWNT leadership, and what Sauerbrunn's latest books and TV recommendations are.

Later on in the show, The Athletic's Melanie Anzidei joins Meg to report on the ground from Houston, Texas, where the SheBelieves Cup kicks off. What is the atmosphere like in camp? How is Emma Hayes and her experimental team approaching these matches? And, could the three visiting nations be in more of a 'win-now' headspace?

PLUS: Meg gets you caught up on all the Luis Rubiales trial, Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw's powerful statement, and other international and NWSL news from another busy week in women's soccer.
