Settle The Score

On our SEASON 4 PREMIERE we talk about the USWNT's return to the scene with their two games against Paraguay.  The 9-0 and 8-0 wins were remarkable mostly in the intense spotlight being shone on Carli and seemingly no one else, and the team's re-introduction to the likes of Macario, Andi Sullivan, Sophia Smith, and even Mal Pugh.  Send us your thoughts on the two matches at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On this season of Settle the Score's final show, we talk about the USWNT's 4-3 victory over Australia, Canada's dramatic win over Sweden in penalties, and THOSE Sam Kerr/Kristie Mewis picks.  We also talk about our hopes for the future of our team, and have all the feels about this being some of our favorite players' last tournament.  Thoughts?  Email us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

We lost.  The USWNT went out in the Olympic semifinal to Canada, in a 1-0 slog of a match.  It wasn't the outcome we wanted, of course, and we process our feelings and what we think went wrong on the show today.  If you're as sad as we are, we hope you find the conversation cathartic.  Plus, we end on a bright note with our true feelings on the future of the team, and news about the equal pay lawsuit!

WHEW.  That was an extremely close call.  On today's episode we walk you through the gut-wrenching roller-coaster that was the USWNT's Olympic quarterfinal versus The Netherlands.  We give props to Miedema, give huger props/apologies to player of the match Alyssa Naeher, and wonder what exactly Vlatko was thinking with those subs. Have your own take on the game? Let us know at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On today's episode we talk about the USWNT's 6-1 win over New Zealand and their 0-0 tie with Australia in the Olympics.  Look.  It's not a real optimistic episode.  The gals didn't give us much to work with, but we share our high points, as well as our predictions for Friday's match against The Netherlands.  Let us know your thoughts at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

Woof, that USWNT vs. Sweden match was a tough one!  We dissect our 3-0 loss and try to figure out what the heck was going on with our gals!?! And what will Vlatko do to come back from it on Saturday versus New Zealand?  Need to rant?  Need to be consoled?  Email us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

The USWNT has landed in Tokyo, and we are here to discuss their send-off series against Mexico.  We talk about both 4-0 wins, the triumphant return of Tobin Heath, the tragedy that was Christen Press's "offside" goal, and whether or not Rapinoe is fit enough to start.  Let us know your thoughts at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

WE GOT THE ROSTER!!!!!!  At this point we've been waiting a year longer than we thought we would for this, so needless to say we could not wait to share our thoughts with you.  Let us know what you think of Vlatko's 18 at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

OH. MY. GOODNESS.  We talk for a full hour today about the last three USWNT games versus Portugal, Jamaica, and Nigeria.  We got a lot of helpful data in the lead up to the 2021 Olympic Games, and can't wait to share all of our predictions and opinions with you.  We're pretty sure we know who's on that plane, pending a healthy Tobin Heath and Julie Ertz.  Plus, we break down all the goals, including Sam's killer header, Carli's oldest ever, and Christen's incredible screamer in the Nigeria match.  Let us know what you think at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

On today's episode, Allyson and Madalyn are overjoyed to be podcasting in person after over a year apart!  It's a doozy of an episode, where we wonder if Vlatko is just another Jill, talk about how in trouble the USWNT could be without Julie Ertz, question FIFA's desire to make the World Cup biennial, and beam with pride over Orlando Pride's first place standing in the NWSL!  Reach out to us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On today's show we talk about the USWNT's 2021 Tokyo Olympics draw into Group G with Sweden, their upcoming friendlies, and the NWSL Challenge Cup this Saturday with Gotham and the Portland Thorns! Plus, Allyson breaks down the tastiest new treat from Trader Joe's to eat for the upcoming match against Portugal!  Shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

Today's episode is DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA.  We discuss two very interesting USWNT matches against Sweden and France, the next stage of the team's lawsuit, and where we think Vlatko is at with Lynn Williams and Carli Lloyd.  Then, we dig into the astounding number of controversies from just the very first week of the NWSL season, and praise the new Gotham FC rebrand!  Shoot us an email with your thoughts at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On today's episode, we'll be honest, there's not a ton of USWNT or NWSL happenings to talk about.  Instead, we check in before the Sweden and France games in April, and ask ourselves some very entertaining hypothetical questions about the upcoming Olympic Games!  Shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On today's show, we belatedly discuss the USWNT win at the She Believes Cup, talk about the upcoming NWSL Challenge Cup, and do a prettttty long deep dive into what's going on with Tobin's Instgram, as well as her chances of making the World Cup roster.  We also discuss some listener mail about our Sonnett comments last time.  Let us know what you think at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

On today's show we recap the USWNT's first two incredible games of the She Believes Cup!  We talk lineups, we talk how Christen Press is at PEAK Christen Press right now, and we fully agree that Sonnett doesn't need any more playing time.  And Allyson tries to stop Madalyn from believing in her far-fetched "Vlatko starting Lynn Williams in the Olympics" conspiracy theories.  Most importantly, we celebrate Ali and Ash's new daughter Sloane Phillips!  If you have any thoughts, or are a staunch Emily Sonnett supporter, email us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com!

On this episode we delve into our deep love of Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso.  Sure, the show is not technically about women's soccer, but it IS the only soccer sitcom on tv, and Ted Lasso won us over hard, just like he does everyone.  We try to convince you to give the show a shot if you haven't seen it, and then we move into spoilers.  So whether or not you've seen the show yet, we won't ruin anything for you without warning.  And we STRONGLY suggest that you watch!  Football is life!!!  Let us know your thoughts on Ted Lasso at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com, or on Twitter @scorpod or on Instagram @scorepod.

WOW.  On today's episode we talk all about the two USWNT games against Colombia last week.  The Mewis hat-trick, that Macario goal, Tierna Davidson's almost flawless game on Friday, and defenders playing offense.  Okay, let's be real, we talk about Macario A LOT.  We revisit everyone's chances  to make the Olympic roster (and whether or not they're even going to happen...).  Plus, Allyson describes her very strange dream where she reveals that Carli Lloyd may actually be a Benjamin Button.  settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

We're back with our first episode of 2021, and there's no shortage of women's soccer news to analyze.  We go over the current USWNT camp roster, the upcoming matches against Colombia and the She Believes Cup in February!  Plus, we probably butcher the new federation/allocation money rules in the NWSL and dish on all the hottest goss from the NWSL college draft.  Have a question?  Email us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

It's our last episode of 2020!  On today's show we count down our top 10 women's soccer moments of the year.  We also choose our top 5 USWNT players and our top 3 goals.  Plus, we make predictions for the 2021 Olympics roster, and give a MASSIVE thank you to all our listeners!  Doing this podcast has been a highlight for us during this mostly bad year, so THANK YOU for listening and letting us know your thoughts!  Have more thoughts?  What were your top 10 moments?  What did we miss?  Email us at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.

2020 was starting to make us think we weren't getting any more USWNT games.  But thankfully they played a brilliant match against The Netherlands last Friday.  We discuss the match in great detail, the lack of apparent rust the team showed, the return of Kristie Mewis, and the new USSF lawsuit news, and more!  Shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com.
