On this Episode:

A lot of pride in this episode. 

- Legend of the sport and episode 100 guest of the show Sinead Farrelly announces her retirement. We’ll talk about her impact on the sport. 

- We know who we are playing in the Concacaf Champions cup. And when. We’ll talk about this exciting grouping as Gotham avoids NWSL teams. 

- Gotham is winning all types of league awards. Two Gotham players made the NWSL team of the month and it isn’t Hero of the month Ella Stevens. We’ll share our disappointment. Plus Ann Katrin wins save of the week and Rose wins goal of the week. We’ll share our “Duhhh”. It was a heck of a performance from those two.

-Gotham FC’s pride event which was also excellent. And the game wasn’t that bad either. We’ll discuss the stars shining and highlight the unsung heroes on the day. 

- We have some really fun stats on this show. Stick around for that.

-Lastly, we look forward to Racing Louisville. A team Gotham has beaten only once in 9 matches. What is it going to take for Gotham to get a win?! Let’s find out!

Gotham completes an undefeated month of May by getting 3 points from the first ever meeting of expansion side Bay FC.

In the news we have, pride raiser,  an engagement announcement, how we are going to watch the Liga MX femenil summer cup, 

 

An episode in three parts. We are going to do a deep dive on the turnaround from a winless April to an undefeated May. There is a lot to discuss including who Gotham FC fans voted as Hero of the month of May.

Part 2: Question, is Gotham the same high pressing machine they were in 2023 or have they evolved into something different? Perhaps, something scarier? We’ll break down this 2-0 road result against upstart Bay FC and try to figure out the identity of the 2024 Gotham FC?

Part 3: Then we look forward to the break and compare and contrast where Gotham is in the table compared to last season and see if Gotham is ready for midseason madness.

RUNDOWN: 

What an emotional roller coaster this game was! Excitement, realization, jubilation, frustration, confusion, despair and disbelief, then back to jubilation again! Lynn Williams grows her legacy and Ella Stevens gets revenge on a wild night in Harrison as Gotham gets a 2-1 home victory over the Red Stars.

This is a Quote heavy episode. You can quote us on that.

Gotham FC announces they are playing Chelsea in a friendly. Is this too many games? We’ll opine. 

We have National team call-ups. Most not surprising. But there is one omission that is pretty shocking. We’ll talk about it. 

We get to break down this incredible 2-1 record breaking victory as only we can. 

We talk about Lynn’s legacy.

Then we look forward to our next opponent. Bay FC. First time ever. Gotham heads to San Jose.
