Due to timing, we couldn't include England vs. Denmark in yesterday's episode, so we we just decided to give the Lionesses their own, deserved, full episode! This special will focus on the England vs. Denmark matchup & we are joined by special guest David Gough to break it all down. Gough was the assistant coach with England from 2014-2016 & won the bronze medal in 2015 with the Lionesses. We had him on to discuss England's second group stage match vs. Denmark & to analyze the game.
USA vs. Netherlands, Australia vs. Nigeria, & Canada vs. Ireland. PLUS what is going on with Norway? And who is this cute Koala that Germany is carrying around? We couldn't pick one game to highlight so we picked all three. Sara is incredibly hyped about the USWNT performance while Allie has some different opinions. Should Lynn Williams have come on as a sub? Next the two discuss Australia vs. Nigeria -- is this the most fun game of the tournament so far? And of course they'll dig into each team's performance. Finally, Canada vs. Ireland and Ireland's tournament comes to a close. Plus storylines for upcoming matchups in our new segment.

Are you convinced by Australia? Can Ireland still play the upsetter?

Did you miss us? We're back after the longest two week break the world has ever seen and we are here to talk NWSL & World Cup sendoff matches. First up, the NWSL! The NWSL table is on fire and it's because of unexpected results across the league. We dove head first into San Diego vs. Spirit at Snapdragon Stadium and the wild 2-2 draw that saw a PK, the start of Ashley Hatch's Revenge Tour, and young talent in the SD lineup. We're also talking movement in the table. Next, it's the World Cup sendoff games starting with Zambia's 3-2 win vs. Germany that rocked the world before the tournament has even begun. Disturbing news on Zambia's Head Coach has come to light, and we tackle that with a heavy heart. Finally, it's England vs. Portugal and USA vs. Wales. Cause for concern for England? Was this a strong send off performance for the US?
A special shoutout to Mike Adams, who usually edits this podcast but has the flu and we missed him dearly this week!
