Summary

The USA's 2024 Paris Olympics roster is finally here. So, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan take a deep dive into the major takeaways, leading with head coach Emma Hayes' big decision to leave behind veteran forward and co-captain Alex Morgan. Was it the right call to drop Morgan, and how was the move factored into the roster construction on and off the pitch? What did Tamerra and Meg make of midfielder Korbin Albert's inclusion in the squad despite a furor from the fanbase? What to make of more surprises on the 'Alternate' player list? PLUS: It has been a manic week of NWSL news, and there's plenty to get to in the U.S. domestic game. From coaching arrivals to departures to front office resignations. Tamerra and Meg try to make sense of Casey Stoney's sacking in San Diego, while speculating a new club that might swoop in and offer her a job. And, what are the first impressions of Jonatan Giraldez, now that the former FC Barcelona coach has touched down in Washington D.C? HOSTS: Tamerra Griffin, Meg Linehan PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen ________________ Articles mentioned on the show: Why Alex Morgan missing the USWNT Olympic roster isn’t as drastic as it looks Emma Hayes backs Korbin Albert’s USWNT Olympic roster spot: ‘She’s a tremendous human being’ ________________ Get in touch: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
