Settle The Score

Okay, so maybe Tobin Heath doesn't live in Kentucky now, but her NWSL rights are technically owned by Racing Louisville!  Hers AND Christen Press'.  On today's show, we discuss everything that went down in the NWSL Expansion Draft last night.  We wildly speculate about what effect Angel City will have on all of this, mourn the loss of Cudjoe from Sky Blue, and wonder what the heck OL Reign is going to do about its total lack of any goalkeeper.  Plus, we dish on Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe's engagement, and say au revoir to Jaelene Daniels.  Let us know what you think at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

Just in time for Halloween, we predict which NWSL teams might be facing some spoooooky Racing Louisville FC expansion draft drama!  We also dive deep into the recent USWNT camp, and express our effusive love for Becky Sauerbrunn.  Shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

On today's episode we discuss the USWNT October camp call-ups, gush about how excited we are for Macario's citizenship, and relive last weekend's three NWSL matches.  Let us know what you think at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

A: Christen Press and Tobin Heath!  BOOM!  They have outsold the men in the first three days!  We also discuss the upcoming USWNT camp, who our new call-ups would be, and everything about the NWSL Fall Series, including the not-so-triumphant return of the Orlando Pride with Sydney Leroux, Ali Krieger, and the human shield, Ashlyn Harris.  Who would your call ups to the October camp be?  Email us your picks at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com

On today's episode we discuss the NWSL Fall Series, Sky Blue's win over the Washington Spirit, Tobin and Christen's move to Manchester United, and what's been going on with the Utah Royals.  Let us know what you think about all these WOSO-goings-on at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

Today we discuss the beloved 2002 soccer feature film, Bend It Like Beckham.  From Jess's absurd ability to lie to her parents constantly to Jules's midriff-baring costumes, we discuss the entire movie in all its glorious Beckham-loving detail.  Let us know what you think about it at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

Today's episode is a quick catch up, since we received a lot of mail about Julie Ertz standing during the anthem at the NWSL Challenge Cup Final.  We also discuss Sam Mewis's move to Manchester City, and other post-Cup NWSL talk.  Reach out to us with your opinions on JJ's decision to stand at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

Congratulations to the Houston Dash, the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup champions!  In today's episode we discuss the semi-finals, Sky Blue's improving prospects, and the Dash's perfectly good win over Chicago.  We also dig deep into the NWSL top 11 and offer some of our own choices, guess what Vlatko was writing in that notebook, and wonder what we're going to do now that the tournament is over.  You can always reach out to us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

It has been an absolutely unbelievable week in women's soccer.  We kick off the episode with how excited we are about the new 2022 NWSL team Angel City, then dig into every NWSL Champions Cup quarter final and make our predictions for the semis.  Let us know your take on this tournament at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

In today's episode we question what toll living in the bubble is starting to take on the NWSL players, Portland's inability to win any games, and Sky Blue's proud performance agains the unstoppable North Carolina Courage. Plus, we give our predictions for the Challenge Cup's quarterfinals.

On today's episode Allyson and Madalyn discuss the surprising upsets and resulting wild table from this week's NWSL Challenge Cup matches, try and fail to pronounce Louisville, and make predictions for next week's games!  Let us know what you think about the Challenge Cup so far at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

The NWSL is back and we cover every match so far! From the seemingly unstoppable North Carolina Courage, to the energetic and youthful Washington Spirit, to fake crowd noises, to the confusingly new Chicago Red Stars and Casey and Julie's emotional anthem display of friendship and leadership, we talk about everything that went down the first week of having soccer back.  So kick back, relax, and catch up on all of the NWSL action, just in time for more games tomorrow!  Tell us your thoughts on this first week at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

Settle the Score is back for season 3 with a special preview of The Challenge Cup.  We update you on rosters, the withdrawal of Orlando from the tournament, and who we think is going to take home the trophy. Plus, we catch you up on all the soccer goings-on that happened during our break, including Alex Morgan's baby, US Soccer's BLM response, and Carli Lloyd's indefensible tweet.  Reach out to us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

On today's episode we talk about the 2006 women's soccer film, She's The Man! Amanda Bynes does some pretty questionable drag kinging, David Cross is delightfully random, and Channing Tatum has abs.  We try to figure out just how offended we actually are by all of this. If you haven't seen the movie in awhile, give it a watch and then come make fun of it with us!  And as always, feel free to reach out at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

We were devastated when we heard about the judge's ruling in the USWNT's lawsuit, but also a little confused. On today's episode we have on Alyssa Work, an actual lawyer, to explain what's going on with the team's legal journey to equal pay.  We also talk about what's been going on in the NWSL and take the 2015 World Cup Roster challenge!

Without new soccer to watch, we've taken to USSoccer's new sport: brac"kit"ology.  That's right, we're ranking kits. We also do a general state of the union, talk about what Covid-19 has been like for us, for the national team, and what we think it will mean for the NWSL.  And, of course, we send out well-wishes to the very pregnant Alex Morgan and give our thanks for Ashlyn and Ali's adorable Instagram workouts.

Without much soccer news, we wanted to try something lighthearted for this Friday's episode. We're talking all about Alex Morgan's star turn in her 2018 feature film, Alex & Me.  We liked it, we swear, but there were some hilarious things in this straight-to-video artistic masterpiece of our time like: cartoonishly evil fathers, posters that come to life, and a goalie who can't keep the ball out of the net because of her pesky allergies.  And sure, Alex's acting leaves something to be desired, but the movie was a great time. Watch on Amazon or YouTube to follow along with us! As always, you can reach us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On today's episode we spend a lot of time talking about what life has been like for us during the Covid-19 outbreak in the United States, especially since Allyson is a health care professional who works in a hospital. But we also talk about what the cancelling of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics means for the USWNT, the resignation of Carlos Cordeiro, and which USWNT members are providing us with the best Insta-content during social distancing. 

On today's episode we discuss the unbelievably sexist USSF documents that were released on Monday, the USWNT's classy and powerful response, as well as Cordeiro's idiotic and unacceptable apology that was read at the end of the Japan game. We also discuss the Spain and Japan matches, as well as the cancellation of the April games due to Coronavirus.

On today's podcast we talk about the USWNT's first game in the She Believes Cup!  Spoiler: we big-time won.  We discuss the lineup, whether Mewis or Horan should be starting, if Becky is slowing down, and Julie Ertz's game-winning smile.  Plus, share your USWNT friendship stories with us by emailing settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.
