Courage Pod Jam 2024

In This EpisodeOn 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.
