Listen "A Week of 1000 Stars Aligning (and Misaligning)"
Episode Synopsis
Susannah and David roll in for this week’s Committee gathering. The duo recap the MLS Cup Final. Where it went wrong for Vancouver and what the victory means for Inter Miami and MLS onward. Reactions to the World Cup Draw and the realization almost none of the predictions from last week’s show came to fruition (except one awkward one). Trinity Rodman’s contract situation looms large over the future of NWSL and the impact if she leaves for a team abroad. Favorite things we’ve been watching in Soccer outside the US. 50 States of Soccer returns to chat about the Peach State of Georgia. We close out the show remembering Grant Wahl, this week marking 3 years since his passing.
