We have got some things to cover, here! The guys get into the news of Angel City's fines and suspensions for salary cap violations, the firing of former Houston Dash head coach Fran Alonso, the absurdity of the Chicago Red Stars conceding at least three xG for the second time in three weeks, Bay FC's four-minute meltdown, and the Orlando Pride's historic Shield win. Then, it's on to the main events.

Neither team did themselves any favors with two very different losses. Which team has the edge to go to the quarterfinals in November? Be sure to subscribe to our Patreon for all of our exclusive bonus content!Art by Eli ElbogenMusic by Devin Drobka's Bell Dance Songs Hosted on Acast.
