Summary
Big show! For the first hour or so, we answer multiple quick-fire questions about the final day of the Premier League. What happened to Leicester? What next for Aston Villa? Who benefited most from the break before Project Restart? Did Jose over-celebrate? Why is there such a gap between the top two and everyone else? Can Christian Pulisic improve? You know, those kind of questions.
Then, starting at precisely 1:19:58, we review the NWSL Challenge Cup Final, detailing how Houston Dashed the hopes of the Chicago Red Stars.

| 0:24.0 | why Pulisic is often at his best when he does not dribble past players. It's actually a very |
| 0:29.0 | convincing article and I recommend it. Or something less timely but no less interesting, |
