Podcast hosted by Ted Meyer and Jon Hoffman covering DC United, Washington Spirit, USMNT, and USWNT. Also, occasionally offer opinions about green sauce...
Get rid of? Nope, but raise significantly? I could see it.
Could be. I'm pessimistic that they will get rid of a salary cap but they need to do something to stay competitive

Full time! Washington Spirit are heading to their 2nd straight championship. 3rd in 5 years as well! #SpiritRules

Counter press has been ruthless all game for the Spirit. Bad back pass for sure, bit Bethune's pressure makes that happen

Best chance of the second half for the Spirit...Cantore strikes the post. Really has been Spirit all game. But it is still 1-0. #SpiritRules

Washington Spirit has hosted more playoff matches at Audi Field this year (two) than D.C. United has since the stadium opened in 2018 (one).

1-0 Spirit at the half. Audi Field looks great with people in it! (Photo from a listener on the Discord)

First half was all Spirit. Makes me nervous they were only able to get a single goal. Need to maintain the same energy in the 2nd half.

Jail break for the Spirit! Cleared corner to Rose who plays a ball right to Gift Monday for the opening goal!

We can talk about the weather concerns. They are valid, but acting like moving the season means they are suddenly competing with all these sports is nonsense. They already are with the current format sans the middle of the season, which is always the worst parts of the season anyway.
This is good. Not so good? They're changing their calendar so now their entire season will be up against the NFL, NBA, NHL, CFB, CBB, etc.
BREAKING: MLS will come out from behind the separate MLS Season Pass subscription beginning in 2026, per sources.

All games will be available on the Apple TV streaming service.

RIP the Atlantic Cup...
The three on the right seem super obvious. No clue what they'll do out west when you have 7 coastal clubs. Maybe stick the new guys in with the mountains and Texas?

The amount of posts for the 5 division alignments willingly jettisoning DC from a division with New England, Philly, and Red Bulls just shows how irrelevant this team really is... 10 years ago, this would be unthinkable #DCU

Hey #DCU fix your chance creation issues with this easy fix.

Aubrey Kingsbury has to be an all time GOAT in the PK situation in NWSL.

Incredibly harsh offside call to say the least. Looking at the still image, I don't know how you can say that is a clear and obvious error. #SpiritRules

What?

Congrats to #FredericksburgsOwn Jackson Hopkins! #dcu

Injury report has her questionable for Saturday. My assumption is she makes the bench and doesn’t play unless Spirit are down late.
Washington's chances of advancing, per the @americansocceranalysis.com projection model

Rodman STARTS: 73%

Rodman as SUB: 70%

Rodman UNAVAILABLE: 70%
Spirit Availability report is here folks. Not a long laundry list like we had last week but Abiodun will be out tomorrow and Trinity is Questionable. So take that as you will

Washington Spirit
SEI/ML: Hatch, Jessee, Krueger, Sarr, Sullivan
OUT: Deborah Abiodun (ankle)
???: Trinity Rodman (knee)
