3 Bethune assists, 2 Ratcliffe goals, 1 Spirit win
The Spirits beat Chicago 4-2 thanks to Trinity Rodman's first, Ouleye Sarr's third, and a banger of a brace from Brittany Ratcliffe!
Immediately after the postgame presser Annie, Ella & André hopped in the studio to react to it all. We talk about the Spirit finding their footing, controlling the game, responding after Chicago's first, and what it all means for the progression of the team so far.

Banda'd [Orlando Review | Chicago Preview]
Ella & André react to the Spirit's narrow loss to Orlando Pride – well, more accurately, Barbra Banda. The Zambian star made her first NWSL start and showed why she was worth several bags.
We discuss what worked and what didn't when defending Banda, the lineup tweak to start Paige Metayer over Ashley Hatch, Ouleye Sarr's perfect self-assessment, Bethune's first assist, and Trinity Rodman seeking her first goal.
Then we look ahead to Wednesday's game against the Chicago Red Stars. We chat about how the defense can adjust during this run against elite attacking talent, and how the Spirit can find success in attack against a stingy Red Stars defense.

THE GK UNION (w/ Aubrey Kingsbury & Nicole Barnhart)
To celebrate goalkeeper kits finally becoming available across the NWSL we chatted with 2/3 of the Spirits GK Union, Aubrey Kingsbury and Nicole Barnhart!
Annie, Ella and André ask just what exactly is the GK Union, the keepers they looked up to, why it's about damn time that their shirts are available, plus Aubrey's big promise to anyone who buys and wears one at Audi.
We also took the time to chat about the season so far, how the fluidity in the outfield affects organizing the backline, who has impressed so far (and who will soon), baking, the Washington Capitals, and Barnie's work with DC Soccer Club.

Lefties in Houston plus much-too-early season thoughts [Spirits vs. Dash Match Review]
The Spirits conceded another early goal but two rookies scored and two free agents combined to deliver a 3-1 win. Annie, Ella and André relive all the goals, what led to the comeback, and the Spirits unveiling a devastating high press.
Then we look at the season so far to note some interesting occurrences and performances, discuss Riley Tanner being waived, and briefly look ahead to next weekend's home match against Gotham FC.

Customer Reviews
Love it 😍
Love the spirit and the podcast it’s wonderful
Love the podcast
I love Washington spirit and love listing and hearing from your point of view on the game I’m excited to hear from you the rest of the season and I don’t really like Candy corn but I will eat it
So fun so spirits wahoo
Love this podcast! I look forward to hearing the hosts thoughts before and after each game, and especially love the player interviews they’ve been doing.
Some loving feedback: please get Jo a new mic lol. Annie and Andre both sound great, but Jo is quite echo-y, and it takes away from her A+ thoughts. Also, I’d love if we took tired out of the intro vocab!!! We’re all so excited to hear from all of you, so match our energy!!!
