Orlando Pride wins the NWSL Championship

Orlando Pride defeated Washington Spirit in the NWSL Championship, capping a historic season. It turns out, in fact, "the Double [was] on" for the Pride, whose season included the league's most dominant defense, the immediate impact of an MVP-candidate at forward in Barbra Banda, and incredible contributions from the greatest footballer who ever lived, Marta. In this episode, we recap the final, where Washington Spirit put up a great fight -- and maybe had the advantage in some spots throughout the match -- but the NWSL Shield-winning Pride found a way to win. At the end of the episode, we try to put Marta's incredible career into some more perspective, and you'll get to hear Grant fight for his life as he tries (and largely fails) to pronounce the names of the Swedish clubs the Brazilian legend played for years ago.
