    The cleanest sheet you ever did see [Spirits v. Wave Match Review]

    Annie, Ella & André discuss a unique Spirit performance that led to their first clean sheet since April. We review the match by discussing the lineup, tweaks made to frustrate San Diego, improved box defending, and Aubrey Kingsbury's terrific performance. We also chat about Tara McKeown creating a new position for herself, who and what to watch during the summer break, and our summer plans. Among them, we hope to do a Q&A pod!

    Weird vibes, a first away L, and welcome Sofia Cantore

    Annie, Ella & André recap a strange performance from the Washington Spirit. All the narratives were narrativing ahead of this one—Spirit undefeated away, Thorns undefeated at home, Washington winless all-time at Providence Park—but the vibes just seemed off. We discuss what Portland did to capitalize, and what may have been at the root of the sudden vibelessness. Then we dive into some Spirit news, including welcoming new Spirit signing Sofia Cantore! We discuss the transaction, and where and when she might suit up for the Spirits. We also look ahead to the recently announce W Champions Cup matches. We also preview the final match before the summer break: Spirit vs. the surprising San Diego Wave. Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review.

    The Haunting of North Carolina by the Orange Bow of Brittany Ratcliffe [Spirit v. Courage Match Review]

    Annie, Ella & André review the Spirit's 3-1 win over North Carolina Courage! It was a multi-goal win in Jonatan Giráldez's sign off at Audi. We discuss another iffy start, how the Courage frustrated the Spirit early, the solution that led to two goals, and the toll the international break took on the entire team. We also discuss the pre-match press conference, which doubled as a limited opportunity for some to ask Giráldez about his move to Lyonnes. We talk about how the questionable management of the presser didn't help clean up any of the poor optics, or messaging, around the move. Then we look ahead to this weekend's match against a very streaky Portland Thorns team. Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review.

    EMERGENCY POD: Jona Giráldez to leave the Spirit (for Lyonnes) after less than a year

    Well, so much for a quiet international break. Annie, Ella & André process the news of Jona Giráldez's imminent departure from the Spirit after less than a year. As if that wasn't odd enough, he's reportedly heading to sister club under Michele Kang's ownership, OL Lyonnes. We discuss the optics of the move, what might have led to it, and what we hope to see next. We also look back on the Spirit's time under Adrián González.

    Those are the Spirits that we know [Spirit v. Reign Match Review]

    Annie, Ella & André review a much more like it performance in a 2-1 dub against Seattle Reign! We discuss the Spirits record-tying away victory, fluidity (and goals) in attack, solving multiple variations of the Reign, pressing to force predictability, another weird box defending moment, Rose Kouassi's defensive game, Croix Bethune's first goal since returning to the pitch, and more. Lots more, including what scary movie haunted Annie over the weekend. Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review.

    Never Have I Trevor (w/ Esme Morgan)

    Welcome to the only place in woso to get your 2025 Jacksonville Jaguars season preview!! Ok just kidding but also kinda not. Annie & André welcome Esme Morgan to discuss the Spirit's season so far, how her game has developed in the league, and delivers a vibe check on the squad during a rough defensive patch. Then we get into her love for the Jacksonville Jaguars. She shares how her fandom began, watching Red Zone with her dad, playing Madden Mobile, and retells an incredible draft night story. (We also force her to give her prediction for the Jags this upcoming season.) After, we talk about Biscuit, the cat she recently adopted. Plus, we end with a few quick questions, including how she was inspired by Rosa Parks. Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review.

    Defense? Never heard of her [Spirits v. Royals Review]

    Annie, Ella & André review yet another bonkers goalfest at Audi! That sounds like a good thing, and the fight back was impressive, but a quite unfortunate trend has emerged. We discuss the defensive issues, possible root causes, and what that might mean. But we also praise a 😎spirited😎 comeback courtesy of Casey Krueger, Tara McKeown and the return of Hal Hershfelt. Also, we review every goal, chat about Utah's time wasting and teams coming to Audi to be the villain, the way Rose Kouassi is refereed, and more.

    The Rose Kouassi Stat Trick [Spirits v. Tsars Review]

    Annie, Ella & André review the Spirit's chaotic 3-2 win over the Chicago Stars (or Tsars). We review yet another new lineup, and ask whether the inconsistency is harming cohesion. Then we review all the goals, good and bad, and marvel at Rose Kouassi's first goal and unique Stat Trick™ performance. We also discuss the Spirit's inclusion in the upcoming Champions Cup, 'Empowering Legendary Females', 'pitch please', Unwell FC, and apologize to members of the Daddy Gang who enjoy being part of the Daddy Gang.
