    EXPECTED OWN GOALS: Jessica Berman and U.S. Soccer Fail to Meet the Moment(s). Plus, USWNT and Trinity Rodman's Contract

    TRIGGER WARNING: Beginning around the 42-minute mark, there's a discussion of ICE's execution of Alex Jeffrey Pretti. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for as little as $6/month to get bonus episodes and the main feed ad-free! RECORDED BEFORE EMMA HAYES' COMMENTS ABOUT MINNEAPOLIS We start off with the easy stuff: Trinity Rodman remains with the Washington Spirit. The guys break down all the nitty-gritty of her contract now that more details have come to light. Then, they marvel at the brazenness of NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman's comments to the press last week, and that she said the quiet part louder than any sports commissioner ever has before. Finally, after a quick analysis of the USWNT's 6-0 smashing of Paraguay at the weekend, we lament the lack of acknowledgment by U.S. Soccer and the players of the execution of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday.

    EXPECTED OWN GOALS: NWSL Offseason — What on Earth Are the San Diego Wave Up To?

    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for as little as $6/month to get bonus episodes and the main feed ad-free! RECORDED BEFORE CLAUDIA MARTÍNEZ NEWS First things first: Meghann Burke has offered news on the state of the union's grievances against the league! The bad news is it's gonna be awhile before anything is resolved. Then, the guys move on to signings. Denise O'Sullivan has moved to Liverpool. Macey Hodge has gone to Racing Louisville. Melissa Kössler and Maja Lardner offer good respective case studies on how to contextualize data in international transfers and college signings. But seriously, WHAT IS GOING ON IN SAN DIEGO??? Four starters have left the club in the last month, not to mention earlier departures of María Sánchez and Naomi Girma. Ludmila and KiKi Pickett have come in (and Trinity Byars should finally be available), but what is the state of the roster right now? Are things as bad as they were even in the post-Jill Ellis era?

    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for as little as $6/month to get bonus episodes and the main feed ad-free! The NWSL hot stove is officially lit! The headlines this week are Sam Coffey's transfer to Manchester City, with Lindsey Heaps coming the other way from France and signing with her hometown Denver Summit. What do these deals represent for the Thorns and Summit respectively? Did Portland get fleeced? Is Heaps the marquee signing on the field that she will be off the field?
