4.8 out of 5 stars from 1.1k ratings
  • like the athletic itself, they’ve just thrown up their hands rather than covering the NWSL

    Sakovitz specifically is essentially a tiktok personality acting like a reporter but is no more than a bad podcast host. No knowledge. No understanding. Just platitudes and social media taglines. It’s fallen so far and is rendered totally useless as of 2026.

    Given up on this. No idea of NWSL history - just slavishly repping the current favs even tho the league is renowned for its parity.

    Sakovitz specifically is essentially a tiktok personality acting like a reporter but is no more than a bad podcast host. No knowledge. No understanding. Just platitudes and social media taglines. Meg Linehan is the only one they have who does any reporting and that’s been less and less year on year. Why can’t they just take this seriously as a soccer podcast?

U.S. forward Madison Haley's journey from Dallas to Brighton

Brighton offered a strong, competitive environment in the WSL, with stability from the coach and a clear plan for growth, which helped accelerate my development and keep me focused on performing at a high level.
U.S. forward Madison Haley's journey from Dallas to Brighton
Q: When did you decide to leave Stanford for overseas opportunities and how did you weigh that against staying in the U.S. to pursue the NWSL?
I weighed the options with my agents and family, and ultimately chose to pursue playing abroad because I always wanted to test myself in a different environment and league, while knowing I could still come home if it didn't work out.
Barcelona win 4th Champions League trophy. What's next for Alexia Putellas?
Q: What's next for me?
Putellas expresses a long summer ahead with a hopeful yet uncertain path, focusing on personal pushing and evaluating options for the future, including potential staying with Barcelona or exploring new horizons.
Emma Hayes' NWSL road trip: Soccer, drums and babies
Q: Lori, before we say goodbye, what are Lori Lindsey's take on what are Emma Hayes' biggest question marks as we are about a year out from when she would name her World Cup squad?
The biggest questions revolve around who will be on the roster and who starts; injuries and form will shape selection, while Hayes' ability to balance relationships on the field and build the right 11 for long-term consistency remains central. Lindsey notes the need to evaluate how players fit next to each other and who maintains form over the long season.
A Champions League final of cinematic proportions
Q: Do you think this is the all-time epic rivalry in women's football, between Lyonnes and Barcelona?
Yes, this rivalry stands out as the defining clash in the modern era, given the history, depth, and quality both clubs bring, even as other teams challenge them.
