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

  • 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. 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?

  • Must listen for NWSL fans

    Knowledgeable hosts, always informed, but also pretty entertaining. Best in class for a “regular people” women’s soccer pod IMO.

    This is a go-to to stay up to speed in the women’s game. Professional, digestible, and an easy listen. Tamera and Meg get into the nitty gritty like no one else can frankly. Jillian is such a delight, nice to see her podcasting expertise hit the Athletic. Keep em coming!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chelsea legend Millie Bright's legacy
Q: Can you take us inside the news around Millie Bright announcing her retirement? How much of a surprise was this when the news broke?
The hosts suggest Bright's retirement was anticipated given her long career and recurring injuries, but the immediacy of stepping away, especially while currently out injured, signals a well-timed transition with a planned send-off and a potential for Bright to stay connected with Chelsea through ambassadorial work and media ventures.
What it means for Denver Summit FC to smash the NWSL attendance record
Q: Listener, you can correct me if I'm wrong. But Tamerra, take me back to that moment when the crowd settles in and the game sort of kicks off or just before kickoff and what that was like.
Tamerra describes walking into a sea of Denver Summit green, the energy in the stadium, and the sense that the moment was both historic and intimately connected to the city's sport culture.
Kelley O’Hara on red cards, NWSL Atlanta & her switch to broadcasting
Q: Did you always know broadcasting would be a progression after retirement?
No, it wasn't planned; it developed from doing live broadcasts with Just Women Sports and CBS recognizing the value of her voice on television, leading to a broader studio role.
Meet the 2026 NWSL expansion teams: Boston Legacy & Denver Summit
Q: How does Denver approach building a team under a salary-cap framework and what are the key pillars to win?
Denver emphasizes recruitment, game identity, and culture as the three pillars, aiming to balance world-class talent with homegrown players, and leveraging veteran experience to push for playoffs and championships.
Meet the 2026 NWSL expansion teams: Boston Legacy & Denver Summit
Q: What is the overall identity you want for the Boston Legacy in the first year?
