Lesley and Emily return from their week off, and discuss Bella Bixby's goal for the ages, and Gianni Infantino holding World Cup TV rights hostage. They review the current NWSL Table, and lament the latest piece in a long line of bad news for the Chicago Red Stars.

The Pals celebrate the week in stoppage time stunners across the league and entirely against Orlando, they debate the finer points of VAR implementation, celebrate Cheyna Matthews' breakout performance in Chicago, and take the Paramount+ broadcast straight to the trash for dropping 30 minutes of gameplay.

This Week in Sportsmanship asks the important question for Queer couples in a relationship: are you the starfish, or the one who waits?

We take a surprise trip to St. Louis, and share some feelings about World Cup readiness. We celebrate Australia snapping the Lionesses win streak, and beg sports media networks to carry more international fixtures.

The Pals celebrate a weekend of Chicago home openers! They have questions about Kansas City and for anyone trying to defend against Sophia Smith. They talk March Madness, but never again about Kim Mulkey. Lesley dreams of a peaceful USWNT window, and Emily wonders when her kit will be in the mail. They take out the trash, and award the Sportmanship of the week!

The Pals are back for episode 2! They debate whether Ted Lasso has jumped the shark, celebrate the first NWSL After Dark of the season, and are surprised by Julie Ertz's return to the USWNT. Lesley has some feelings about Gotham's new direction, and Emily wants Catarina Macario to come back when she's good and ready.
