Esther and co. are no joke. Last Saturday the Reign gave up a late lead and lost to Gotham 3-2 in New York. We talk about how well the Reign played in the first half and how Gotham was able to substitute their way to victory. We also note the Reign’s new pub partnerships around the region, go over results from around the league, and preview this weekend’s match in San Diego.

Reign redemption - Ep. 69

After a month off for the men's World Cup, the Seattle Reign returned to NWSL action with a disappointing loss on the road to the North Carolina Courage. We get into the Reign result and what went wrong. We also get caught up on other NWSL results and news, including making our hopes and dreams known about where we would like to see Emma Sears land amidst the news of her trade request.

This episode is dedicated to Van Jr., one of the best cats there ever was.

Another discouraging result - Ep. 68

Reign sit below the playoff line heading into a month-long league break. The Reign suffered another wildly expected loss to the Washington Spirit last weekend. We dissect what all went wrong in a match that was hard on the eyes in more ways than one. With the Men's World Cup break upon us, we also talk about the new “Kids Free” program for the Reign, the upcoming USWNT matches, as well as other NWSL results and news.

Unspirited Away Part 3 - Ep. 67

The back of the net was finally found. The Reign turned their luck around after Van hired a witch – coincidence? Seattle faced Boston Legacy on Friday evening in the small state of Rhode Island, earning a much needed 3 points. We get into the win, including the team finally getting on the scoresheet, not just once but twice after an uncomfortably long goal drought. We also dive into other NWSL results and close out the show previewing the Reign’s next match.

Rhode win - Ep. 66

One day Seattle will score again, Friday was not that day. The Reign fell to Gotham 2-0 Friday night at Lumen Field. With the team’s goalless drought now reaching 5 matches, we discuss our frustrations with the lack of offseason signings that led to this problem as well as the other issues the team had in this most recent loss. We also cover the week’s other matches from around the NWSL and preview the Reign’s next match.
