Courtney and André were all hyped and ready to talk about all of the great football that happened, but the #racismo just wouldn't stop. So before we dove into the matches, we had to discuss the NWSL's hollow statement on their investigation and ultimate failure to believe the Black women in its league and protect them and their families. We also have words for Kaylyn Kyle's silly use of "pace and power" in multiple matches, and her misguided attempt to make up for it in the next match she called.

THEN, we finally get to talk about soccer! We discuss the Challenge Cup overall, ask if the five 0-0s mean anything, identify our surprises of the competition and name our tournament MVPs. We also talk about some recent NWSL rumors and how — if true — they might impact the regular season and rival everyone's (ours too) presumptive favorites, the Portland Thorns.

We then hop over to Europe to chat about the Champions League semifinals and give our initial thoughts about the UWCL Final!
