The Yanks Are Coming Soccer Show Yanks are Coming Soccer Show

We review the Women's World Cup and discuss the future of NWSL in an hour-long chat with Philadelphia Inquirer writer Jonathan Tannenwald, one of the premier soccer journalists in the country. Among the topics covered are the legacy of the 2019 team, Jill Ellis' management and squad selection, the future of the women's game internationally and an in-depth look at NWSL going forward. 

Kartik Krishnaiyer and Matt Lichtenstadter break down the USWNT victory over the Netherlands and honestly assess the current state of the USMNT in wake of a good Gold Cup run which ended in a loss to Mexico in the final. The sky isn't falling folks! 

As we look back at the semifinal we defend Jill Ellis, take Phil Neville to task and laid the effort of The USWNT going forward. Looking ahead to the Final we say don’t sleep on the European Champion Dutch, they’re a real threat to USWNT.

Neil and Kartik look back at the USWNT’s glorious 2-1 win over host France in the quarterfinals and look ahead to a tough test against England in the semifinals. We also talk about what makes the Netherlands so dangerously good at this tournament.

Neil Blackmon returns from two weeks at the FIFA Women’s World Cup to join Kartik Krishnaiyer previewing the France v USA Quarterfinal. We ask the key tactical questions for both managers going into an epic clash and also ponder has a France side historically so underwhelming in the biggest matches finally about to get over that hump?

Neil and Kartik look back at the first weekend of the Women’s World Cup, the US U-20 run and spend a lot of time pondering macro questions about the US men’s national team program.
