Settle the Score Allyson and Madalyn

On today's show Allyson and Madalyn discuss the USWNT's loss to Sweden in their first knockout match of the World Cup.  We talk Vlatko replacements, that nail-biting penalty shootout, and all about what needs to change before the Olympics.  Let us know what you thought about our early exit at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

We're on the eve of the USWNT v. Sweden match, and we're finally able to talk about that Portugal draw.  We go into tomorrow's match with some pretty grim predictions, and discuss all of the discussion around Carli Lloyd's comments about the team.  Let us know what you think at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

Allyson and Madalyn, tragically, both agree that the USA is not winning the World Cup after their 1-1 performance against The Netherlands.  They discuss DeMelo's surprising start, Horan's header of revenge, and what the chances look like against Portugal.  How are you going to watch this 3AM game?  Let us know at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

It's the World Cup!!!  On today's episode we talk about the USWNT's 3-0 win over Vietnam in the first group stage game.  Julie Ertz and Savannah DeMelo had surprising starts, Trinity Rodman almost went down in the first minute, and Sophia Smith was involved in all three goals!  Let us know what you thought at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On today's episode we discuss the USWNT's 2-0 win over Wales.  Was it the perfectly bland send-off game that you're looking for right before a major tournament?  Or a medicore harbinger of things to come?  We discuss Trinity's two goals,  our preferred forward line, and which of us is the flight attendant, the passenger, and the pilot.

We're baaaack!!! The World Cup roster has dropped and Allyson and Madalyn are here for it.  And frankly, they have more World Cups under their belts than most of these call-ups.  Will our backline survive without Becky?  Does Savannah DeMelo deserve the nod?  Can Sophia Smith and an on-form Lynne Williams make up for Mal's absence?  Let us know what you think at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.
