Ashley Sanchez made it! Jaedyn Shaw did not! But what does it meaaaaaaaaan? On this unlocked bonus episode, the guys talk about Emma Hayes's #USWNT selections for the upcoming Spain friendlies. Evan may have had a small "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" moment toward the end there.

For years the Chicago Stars leadership have subjected their fans to miserable soccer. Can Vlatko bring hope and reverse the club’s fortunes? We sat down with the (now) ebullient @lesleyryder.bsky.social to discuss.

Since the Thorns went 2-0 ahead in the 28th minute: Orlando: .31 xG on 6 shots Portland: 0 xG on 0 shots Kind of a mixed bag (conceding lots of bad shots) but if the 2nd half looks like the last 17+ minutes of the 1st half, Portland might be adding to this dubious record.

"What is painfully clear... is that more dropped points await the Thorns if they are unable to tighten up their defensive holes, and an early playoff exit is imminent." @evandavissports.bsky.social discusses the Portland Thorns' defensive woes. 🔐 Sub to read! equalizersoccer.com/2026/09/17/p...

Normally clubs across US leagues, when setting up press conferences for already-announced major news, give at least a day's notice. The Chicago Stars gave media a lead time of 19 minutes for today's presser with Vlatko.

Jenna Bike shoots from 30 yards out, the ball dribbles into Macca Arnold’s hands but hey, 28th minute and Chicago have a shot on target. It took the Spirit 60 minutes to record a SOT earlier today… so again… moral victory 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️

Expected Own Goals @xowngoals.com · 14/09/2026
It was a Maitane own goal (yes, we expected it), so I guess technically the Thorns haven’t scored yet, which feels like… still not a moral victory for Chicago.

I did a lap around the stadium and Coliseum (and up Figueroa) at about 9:45pm to see if they'd relocated. No sign of 'em. Here's hoping they got whiny and decided to go piss in their own food instead of kidnap people.

Hi everyone. I walked in all the spots where ICE was seen, but I was unable to get photos. Their vehicles were not at the blue or orange lot by the time I got outside. I'm really mad about it, but mostly glad people are safe.

Getting word from friends at the game that while local defense is on the ground, ICE is close by the museum and near BMO so please please please be safe and don’t walk alone, walk in groups, and also go up to sunset deck if you need to wait to leave. #acfc

Angel City had a big call go their way at home! They needed it, too, as they battled from 3-1 down to settle for a point against the Denver Summit. Score: 3 - 3 Non-penalty xG: 2.5 - 1.3 Non-penalty xG per Shot: 0.17 - 0.14 Quality Chances*: 4 - 3 Field Tilt: 57 - 43 #AngelCityFC | #LAvDEN | #NWSL
