Summary

NWSL Historian Jen Cooper joins Alexi Lalas and David Mosse on the podcast today to break down the USWNT inaugural W Gold Cup victory, the USWNT Olympic roster, and Emma Haye’s national team debut in June. (6:12) The guys then flipped it over to the men's side where they covered a jam-packed weekend. In the MLS, four matches had a game-deciding goal scored in stoppage time... and in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, Brandon Vazquez scored to take the win over his old club. (23:31) Over in Europe, Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie are on fire! Between the two, whose had the better season? The second leg of the Champions League continues with Pepi, Tillman, and Dest looking to take on Dortmund. To wrap the show, Alexi and Mosse continue the USWNT chat by turning the page to the Olympics. (41:07) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
