• Weird vibes, a first away L, and welcome Sofia Cantore

  Annie, Ella & André recap a strange performance from the Washington Spirit.All the narratives were narrativing ahead of this one—Spirit undefeated away, Thorns undefeated at home, Washington winless all-time at Providence Park—but the vibes just seemed off. We discuss what Portland did to capitalize, and what may have been at the root of the sudden vibelessness.Then we dive into some Spirit news, including welcoming new Spirit signing Sofia Cantore! We discuss the transaction, and where and when she might suit up for the Spirits. We also look ahead to the recently announce W Champions Cup matches. We also preview the final match before the summer break: Spirit vs. the surprising San Diego Wave.Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review.

• The Haunting of North Carolina by the Orange Bow of Brittany Ratcliffe [Spirit v. Courage Match Review]

  Annie, Ella & André review the Spirit's 3-1 win over North Carolina Courage!It was a multi-goal win in Jonatan Giráldez's sign off at Audi. We discuss another iffy start, how the Courage frustrated the Spirit early, the solution that led to two goals, and the toll the international break took on the entire team.We also discuss the pre-match press conference, which doubled as a limited opportunity for some to ask Giráldez about his move to Lyonnes. We talk about how the questionable management of the presser didn't help clean up any of the poor optics, or messaging, around the move.Then we look ahead to this weekend's match against a very streaky Portland Thorns team.
