ACDC, AFCON, and a Lot of Feelings | Casual FC vs. Orlando Pride

We're back from the World Cup break and we have FEELINGS. Angel City fired Alex Straus mid-season (again), Kennedy Fuller is in the Bay, and we're somehow still talking about the three-year plan. We also dig into why the World Cup has been genuinely incredible — Bosnian takeovers, crying Japanese fans, and Morocco in penalty shootouts. ACFC's friday match can't come soon enough.

The Boston Breakers Were the NWSL's Heartbreak Team. This Is Their Story.

We dive into the NWSL history of the Boston Breakers — the team that couldn't win but somehow launched the careers of Rose Lavelle, Midge Purce, Meg Linehan, and half the people running women's soccer today. We also get into what a Portland furry convention has to do with all of this. Trust us. Come back for part two — it gets interesting.

We Need to Talk About Angel City's Last-15-Minutes Problem | NCC Recap & Season Check-In

We're breaking down Angel City's 2-1 loss to North Carolina — the 80th minute curse that just won't quit, Angela's nerve-wracking press conference question (Coach Straus corrected her, obviously), and what the first third of the season actually tells us. We dig into the standings, injuries, fan behavior, the BMO volume situation, and why we're still riding with this team.
