Settle The Score

Today we have a very special episode with special guests, soccer fans and comedians, Ellen Haun and Mike Poole!  We know the official USWNT World Cup roster, so to celebrate we're drafting those 23 players.  But it's NOT to play soccer.  It's who we'd want to have a fun night out with.  Play along with us and figure out who would be your #USWNTfriends.  Shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com, tweet at us @scorepod or Instagram us @scorepod.

We're still waiting in breathless anticipation of the 23 player World Cup roster, but in the meantime, we highlight USWNT player performances over the first week of the NWSL.  Plus, we finally answer listener mail, discuss how the USMNT are annoyed they're playing on grass OVER turf in the Gold Cup, and reluctantly profile goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher (and we come to some surprising conclusions about her).  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @scorepod or shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com

On this week's episode Allyson and Madalyn analyze the USWNT's recent games against Australia and Belgium.  They praise the forwards, bemoan the defense, and wonder what will happen to Ali Krieger when the 23-woman roster for the World Cup is announced soon. Plus, Carli Lloyd is featured after her startlingly unselfish and powerful performance against Belgium.

Apparently, if, like Beetlejuice, you say Ali Krieger's name enough times, Jill Ellis will put her on the USWNT.  Allyson and Madalyn discuss Krieger and Harris's engagement, Krieger's interestingly timed call-up after a two year draught, as well as the idiocy of the USMNT's response to the women's lawsuit.  Plus, we spotlight Lindsay Horan.  Follow us on Twitter @scorepod or shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com

Wow.  What a week!  In this episode we recap the USWNT's last two games in the She Believes Cup, talk about the new kits, highlight Abby Dahlkemper, and most importantly, reveal our feelings about the team's lawsuit against the USSF.  We are so proud of the team for asking for what they deserve!!!Click here to read the entire lawsuit, thanks to The Equalizer.

On today's episode we dig into all the drama from last night's USWNT 2-2 draw to Japan.  We also spotlight Tobin Heath, and talk about that Nike commercial that gave us all the #feels during the Oscars.  Don't call us crazy- there's only 99 days until the World Cup and we are ready!

On today's episode we talk to Jen from Sky Blue's supporters group Cloud 9 about the scandals that plague the team.  Sky Blue is the New Jersey NWSL team.  Unfortunately, their professional players practice on a field without a bathroom, don't have showers in their locker room, and are put in wildly insufficient housing.  Can you imagine if Clint Dempsey showed up to a Sounders practice and there wasn't a bathroom?  Find out what you can do to help female athletes on this very special interview episode.

On Episode #3 we recap the USA vs. Spain game, give new fans the lowdown on the recent collective bargaining agreement, and highlight defender Becky Sauerbrunn.  Plus, Madalyn makes a promise that she may not be able to keep and Allyson educates everyone on what exactly a vulva is.  

On this episode we manage to talk about women's volleyball, field hockey, and basketball, but mostly Madalyn rants and rants about how Jill Ellis is responsible for the United State's loss to France.  We also highlight Megan Rapinoe and give predictions for the next USWNT game against France.  Shoot us an email at settlethescorepodcast@gmail.com or tweet us @scorepod
