What's going on, everybody?

Welcome to Football W.

Yes, a little bit of a role reversal here.

Our Allie Krieger is out, but Sevi Salazar is stepping in now as our analysts today. It feels weird that I'm hosting, but it looks great to be with you here.

Sevi, we have a lot to break down in the show.

Of course, a listener just wrapped up officially her 115th cap with the U.S.

Women's National Team.

She announced her retirement a few weeks back, but we also have the nominees for the U.S. women's national team. She announced her retirement a few weeks back,

but I brought my best, what is it, Miami Vice Jacket here for a little role reversal, as you say. Whatever

the role is, I'm very glad to be here on Football W, especially as we just watched the

But minute 11, the celebrations really didn't last that long because the listener was put
