    Ep. 166: LDG's Reacts to the USWNT's 2-0 Victory in the Opening SheBelieves Cup Match + Previews the USWNT's Upcoming Fixture Against Canada WNT — The Women’s Soccer Podcast

    In today's episode, Liam analyzes the USWNT's opening match of the 2026 She Believes Cup, with a 2–0 win over Argentina that extended their unbeaten start to the year and recorded a third straight clean sheet. This episode breaks down the performance through a tactical lens, looking at the evolving shape of the team in and out of possession, Lindsey Heaps dropping into build-up, the role fullbacks played pushing high, and how the team's pressing strategy under Emma Hayes evolves with new figures on the pitch. LDG also assesses defensive structure, second-ball control, and what Kennedy Wesley’s composure on the ball might mean for the center-back depth chart. In midfield, we examine how the Heaps–Yohannes–Moultrie trio functioned and what that says about the evolving hierarchy. Finally, LDG turns to the upcoming Canada match, which, after their 4–1 win over Colombia, will pose very different tactical problems to the USWNT with stronger midfield duels and a greater threat in transition. He outlines where the U.S. build-up patterns could be stressed, how the wide channels may decide the match, and what rotation decisions could shape the group. Thank you for listening!

    Ep. 160: LDG's Thoughts on the January USWNT Camp, Inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, Trinity Rodman's NWSL Record Contract with the Washington Spirit, Crystal Dunn's Retirement, + so much more! — The Women’s Soccer Podcast

    In today's episode, Liam revives a prior series from the beginning of the podcast, Woso Weekly, covering the latest news in women's soccer with insightful analysis. He covers the USWNT's dominant January camp, as the side rolled to back-to-back shutout wins, while showcasing the next wave of talent in Emma Hayes’ evolving player pool. He talks about how even with a heavily rotated and relatively inexperienced squad, the U.S. still delivered, as first-time goal scorers and USWNT senior debuts highlighted the team’s growing depth. LDG named players who stood out, like Trinity Rodman, who stood out as both a consistent goal scorer and emerging leader, while performances from players like Ally Sentnor, Reilyn Turner, Emma Sears, and Croix Bethune underlined how competitive the forward and attacking midfield picture is becoming ahead of the SheBelieves Cup and World Cup qualifying later this year. The episode also talks about the broader landscape of the women’s game, including the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, and what the competition reveals about commercial progress and lingering challenges. While FIFA’s record-setting prize money signals real financial investment, which poses long-term benefits for the stability of the sport, as the prize money will be reinvested into the sport, there were some disappointments, as LDG highlights, that raised questions about sustainability and execution. He chats about Gotham’s loss to Corinthians and Arsenal’s dominance, adding context to a tournament that reflects both how far the women’s club game has come and how much work remains for the future. Lastly, he talks about Crystal Dunn's retirement and Trinity Rodman's record-breaking contract with the Washington Spirit. As mentioned in the episode, to hear more about Trinity Rodman's move, we did a deep-dive on the Trinity Rodman contract negotiations with the Washington Spirit. Thank you for listening!
