Hey, it's Tuesday, clearly you know what that means.

Welcome to Football W. He is Jeff Kuzuf. I'm Christina Alexander. A lot to break down, as always.

0:17.5

And we always have a little help from our friends. Heather O'Reilly, our friend, thank you for hanging out with us. Show off the jersey for today. You are safe. You were safe. And the one behind you, too. The one behind you too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that thing. Who is she? Who is that?

Retirement game.

0:54.1

That was number 231, Jeff, I believe. I don't have that off the top of my head, but I'm trusting you. Jeff, come on. Oh, sorry to just point you there, mother. You call yourself an expert. I know. You call yourself an expert. Lies. We're being fed lies. We won't feed you lives here, though, on Football W coming up. Trinity Robin

has a thing or two to say about the ref. Lies for being fed lies. We won't feed you lies here, though, on football W.

0:54.4

Plus, Arsenal begin their journey towards defending their Champions League title.

1:08.2

game of the week. Washington Spirit facing San Diego, a very happy Trinity Ramen. All business,

1:22.2

Kenca Dali. I really, really want those shades. Eighth minute though. A little action here from Washington Spirit and Rosamcoasne's head, Jeff. It's a great finish. And you know what?

I mean, Trin was kind of tripping up there, obviously fighting for the ball and she just kind of takes care of the rest to find Kawasi's head. 95th minute. I was you know wrapping up getting ready to go home. Nope. Nope, soein, Cascarino, Jeff. I mean, it was a great finish. This was a needed point.

2:34.5

I know that she'll be clearly disappointed to misread that, what I call a croat, which is a cross shot.

2:42.8

But, you know, not exactly what Kwassey was meaning to do with that, but she'll take it.

2:47.5

A goal is a goal. As I know, it's not how, it's how many when you're

2:51.8
