Just moments after the U.S. women’s national team's draw against Portugal to advance in the Women’s World Cup, Julie and two-time World Cup champion and USWNT legend Kristine Lilly give their raw and real thoughts on what’s amiss on the field and what needs to happen in the upcoming game. Julie would like the USWNT’s “kick the shit out of you muscle” to kick in, Kristine wants to see improved chemistry and both want the team to play with more freedom to allow the players' creativity to shine. Julie also expresses concern that head coach Vlatko Andonovski is experiencing "paralysis by analysis" and questions his choices on substitutions, or rather lack thereof.

Stay tuned to find out who was in Julie’s New Zealand scooter crew and where she thinks she got her cozy “pajammies” from, which were featured in her latest bands video.

The episode ends on a high note with Julie, Lil, Lynn and the entire Dope Village sending the USWNT the perfect cheer for Game 4!
