Summary

With just over half the season played - and the month-long Olympic break on the horizon - it is the perfect time to zoom out and have a healthy debate on the state of the 2024 NWSL season. Hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan are joined by former player and current broadcast analyst Jill Loyden to reflect on the league at its midway point while also looking forward to what we might see in the back half of the campaign.

PLUS: Tamerra and Meg discussed Kansas City being announced as the host of the 2024 NWSL Championship final, as well as the latest news on the sale of Angel City FC. To close out, the podcast also contemplated what we have learned from the coaching changes during the season so far.
