The Women's Soccer Podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Liam Greco
How do the stories on the pitch transcend the ninety minutes we watch? I'm Liam Greco, and each week I sit down with the players, coaches, and voices shaping the NWSL and the international game. Our solo episodes dig into the structural stuff most shows skip: roster decisions, tournament slot allocations, the policy fights behind a headline. Our analysis explains why, not just what happened, in a way that is accessible for every level of women's soccer fandom. Some of our biggest episodes surface stories that haven't gotten the coverage they deserve, the kind that change how you see the game once you know them. If you want women's soccer explained clearly and deeply, not just recapped, this is your show. Our interviews feature guests from the top leagues around the world, including the NWSL, WSL, Frauen-Bundesliga, and more, who also represent their nations on the international stage. We've worked directly with the English and Australian FA's and talked to players from the USWNT, Canada, and other national teams competing for a spot at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. As the tournament approaches, this is where you'll hear from the players who'll be making it happen, learning their stories before the rest of the world learns their names. On our platform, the analysis of the world's game never stops. We’ll share a new solo episode every Monday, unpacking the biggest storylines in women's soccer with analytical twists, diving deep into angles of the story you haven’t heard before. Every Thursday, we will drop a new interview with the people playing and running the sport to hear behind-the-scenes insights. Tune in each week for sharp breakdowns, honest conversation, and a level of attention to women's soccer that matches what's actually happening in it, covering matches in the way they deserve.

All-American defensive powerhouse Zara Chavoshi joins the podcast to unpack navigating her dual-national identity, anchoring Wake Forest’s historic run to the College Cup final, and carving out her future as the Orlando Pride's pioneering direct-from-college signing.Zara pulls back the curtain on the mental fortitude required to jump from a historical national championship game run with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons into an unprecedented market where she became the first direct collegiate free-agent signing in Pride history, leaning on her values and support systems in this new process.She opens up about her unique international tug-of-war, tracing her thought process behind attending camps for both U.S. Soccer and Canada Soccer before making a senior breakthrough, what it means to have gotten to represent both nations internationally, and why she hasn't fully decided on either national team just yet. She reflects on getting her first senior cap against Haiti and subsequently opening her international goalscoring account against Costa Rica, utilizing those experiences to grow as a footballer.Taking us behind the scenes in the NWSL, she reveals what it is like defending Marta in training on a daily basis, how she handled a mid-season coaching pivot under Yolanda Thomas, the first message Yo told her after taking over the role, and how the departing coach mattered to her personally.She shares how the change was emotionally consequential, the team reconstituted itself around new leadership, and how she personally overcame mid-year injury setbacks.She details the immense pride behind her nomination for the Lauren Holiday Impact Award for her her volunteering efforts with Seminole Cultural Habitat for Humanity, the goals pinned to her soccer vision board, + more!Thank you all for listening!

USWNT vs. Spain Post-Mortem: Lessons Learned, Ashley Sanchez's Landmark Return, The Lindsey Heaps Dilemma & More
LDG executes a complete post-mortem on the chaotic results, diving straight into the USWNT's two-game slate against Spain to unpack exactly what went wrong, who stood out, and how Emma Hayes is handling a glaring tactical reality check ahead of World Cup qualifying. LDG emphasizes the importance of youth development and the need for the team to adapt quickly to high-pressure situations without having the safety net of getting another opportunity to take on a top side after a tough result in the first game. He dives deep into the 2-0 loss at Audi Field and the 2–2 comeback draw, proving that the USWNT is still at its most lethal when playing directly in a high-press transition rather than forcing a slow, methodical build. As he says best, you cannot out-Spain Spain.LDG delves into their defensive struggles without Girma anchoring the backline, which conceded four first-half goals across two matches, the impact of key player absences, and discusses individual player performances in the stock up, stock down segment, highlighting Ashley Sanchez's return and the midfield's challenges against Spain. He isolates the massive contrast between NWSL Golden Boot leader Ashley Sanchez’s incredible return to the USWNT pool after 2 years and the captain Lindsey Heaps, who struggled against Spain's world-class midfield, raising questions for LDG on whether she should be a member of the USWNT’s starting lineup. Plus, he looks toward the goalkeeper race after Phallon Tullis-Joyce's elite shot-stopping was marred by a fatal distributional error that directly led to Spain’s second goal, and the inconclusiveness this window provided on who will be the number 1 goalkeeper next summer.Looking ahead to the high-stakes CONCACAF W Championship qualifiers in Texas, he predicts the upcoming 23-player roster, separating the locks from the bubble players, explicitly breaking down the tactical adjustments needed to crack El Salvador's inevitable low block, explaining why creators comfortable playing in the pocket spaces like Ally Sentnor and Jaedyn Shaw are needed to break down a low block. Finally, LDG examines how the USWNT's rivals' performed over the window, and looks at the results of their World Cup and World Cup Qualifying competitors.Thank you all for listening!
