In this episode, Bram Weinstein is joined by Mike Minnich, and the two take a dive deep into the unexpected journey of the U.S. Women's National Team. Despite lower expectations, the team is now just one match away from a gold medal, led by the electrifying front trio of Mallory Swanson, Trinity Rodman, and Sophia Smith. 

They discuss Trinity Rodman’s breakout performances on the global stage, her potential as the future superstar of U.S. women’s soccer, and what this means for her and the team’s future. Plus, they take a closer look at the defensive powerhouse Naomi Girma and the U.S.’s road to the final against Brazil. Bram and Mike then preview the looming second half of the NWSL regular season as the Washington Spirit prepare to resume action.
