  • In This Episode

    On this very special episode, we are joined by CTID Cast, Six Point Weekend, and The Uproar.

    We kick off by talking about the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup game against Orlando Pride, which ended in a draw. The Courage clinched the victory in PKs, largely due to Marisa Bova's outstanding performance, which included two crucial saves in her professional debut. Even with the Olympic athletes' absence, the team's performance was exceptional!

    With it being about halfway through the season, we picked our outstanding players of 2024 (so far):

    • Ryan Williams
    • Manaka
    • Narumi Miura
    • Riley Jackson
    • Kaleigh Kurtz
    • Ashley Sanchez

    Everyone explains what we need for the last half of the season:

    • Score more
    • Adjust to new and returning players after the Olympics
    • Road wins
    • Take down top-of-the-table teams
    • Full squad availability
    • Get selfish in the final third and shoot

    Everyone shares where they think we'll finish this season and in the post. With the mountain climb to the top, everyone believes we'll be around 3-5th place with a third star at the end of this season. This team has so much upside, and the rest of the season will be fantastic.

    We end with the most significant impact player of the season (who wasn't previously covered):

    • Kerolin
    • Cortnee Vine
    • Olivia Wingate
    • Brianna Pinto
    • Denise O'Sullivan
    • Feli Rauch

    Do y'all agree with our selection, or is there an outstanding player we missed? Your opinion matters to us. Leave us a review and let us know who and why.
