Kingsley Bigsley ,

Stop talking trash about Carli Lloyd fans!

I LOVE Carli Lloyd and I agree w everything carli Lloyd said about the World Cup. I don’t care what people say but leave Carli alone!!

Nusoto ,

Best for NWSL, but not objective and honest

Have jumped in and out of this podcast since the beginning and I wish I couldn’t feel the “company line” strings as well as friendship to players in their assessments of play and teams. Has gotten better vs when they were first partnered up, but still feel it. That and are you seriously telling me only one of three had last year’s shield winners in the 2024 playoff prediction, even after singing their praises in the first preview episode? Come on now…
