We discuss the issues of the first match, a 0-0 draw, and what changes in the second match that led to a much different result (hint: your 6 gotta 6). Then we look ahead to what the team could be, and Courtney drops some of her favorite lineup ideas for the future of the USWNT.

Then we switch back into NWSL mode to review Gotham's latest match versus KC, and marvel at the last place team in the league being on a 7-game unbeaten run at home. We also look ahead to the wild weekend that awaits in which playoff seats will be won and lost, as well as a first round bye potentially being up for grabs.

In Heated & Hyped, André expounds on his recent tweets about the Carli Extravaganza U.S. Soccer decided to put on, and Courtney talks about her frustrations for women footballers all over the world, brought on by listening to Attacking Third's interview with Cedella Marley, Global Ambassador for the Jamaican Women's Football Team. We also both discuss the recent nonsense a particular broadcast team got themselves into over Jennifer Cudjoe.

We move on to what's got us hype, including Courtney being excited about the return of Insecure and André congratulates the recipient of the extra ticket to the NWSL Championship game that he accidentally bought. Also, Courtney drops a dope surprise that everyone should get hyped for!
