Ella & André review an, erm, interesting final game of the season. It was a standard looking 2-0 win that in reality was a bit less comfortable than that — we discuss why.After that we zoom out to discuss the Spirit's full regular season, and spotlight Trinity Rodman starting every single game (plus posting career highs in goals and assists), Tara going Ironwoman again, and more.Then we look ahead to this weekend's quarterfinal, and why the Chicago game has André slightly shook about the prospect of facing Sophia Wilson. We also give our predictions (gulp).Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate and review! 🙏====================Show NotesGoals, guests and 6,561 scenarios: inside ESPN on the biggest NWSL Decision Day yet====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
Annie, Ella & André react to a weird loss in Kansas City.The Spirit grabbed an early lead, then made crucial mistakes to give it all up within five minutes. They spent the rest of the game trying to equalize but never could. We try to make sense of a very strange (maybe familiar?) game.Then we look ahead to Decision Day to run through all the permutations, including what and who you need to root for to get all Spirit playoff games at Rowdy Audi. Then we talk about Gift Monday's trade, and dive into the slew of grievances settled between the league and NWSLPA.Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate and review! 🙏====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
Annie, Ella & André are joined by the winner of DC Scores' silent auction, Sarah Graham Taylor, to discuss the Spirit's 1-0 win over Gotham!After we hear a bit about Sarah (and her family's) journey to Spirit fandom, we dissect the team's best and most complete performance of the season. Clara Luvanga got her first start and Leicy Santos returned to the pitch for the marquee District vs. Empire matchup.We spotlight an impressive defensive performance, and discuss the change that allowed the Spirit to control the game out of possession. We also get into Luvanga giving Jess Carter a torrid time, the important midfield performance, Lucia Di Guglielmo sneaking into the box, Mélissa Bethi's outrageous assist, clinching the playoffs, and the question the coaching staff asked the players before the game.Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate and review! 🙏====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
Annie, Ella & André reviewed the Spirit getting back to goals and winning ways down in Houston.We discuss getting an early goal, dominating in and out of possession, then allowing a late half equalizer (oops!). The same thing happened in the second half, until the Spirit's depth and new signing Clara Luvanga got her first NWSL goal.We also look at the international break and all the callups, what they mean, and why the timing of this international break literally could not be worse.Please subscribe, rate and review, it means a lot to us! 🙏====================DC Scores Silent AuctionBrowse and bid!====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
Annie, Ella & André review another flat attacking performance and loss at Rowdy Audi. Well, kinda.Since not much happened in the game (both teams finished below 1.0 xG) we zoomed out for a bigger picture view of the current state of the Spirit. We discuss the three 6 midfield, load bearing Leicy Santos, team construction, a changing team at the end of a season, and the realities of a precision attack with an unfamiliar squad.Please subscribe, rate and review, it means a lot to us! 🙏====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
Annie, Ella & André are delighted to be back discussing a Spirit win! It was a cold, damp and windy day by the lake, but the Spirit started strong, scored early, and finished with a comfortable scoreline and clean sheet.We discuss the much needed result, the good and 'still needs work' aspects of the performance, Trinity Rodman's quest for 10g/10a, Mélissa Bethi's injury, wide forward Sofia Cantore, and much more.Please subscribe, rate and review, it means a lot to us! 🙏====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
Annie, Ella & André react to a shocking loss to Boston Legacy, that forces us to have bigger picture conversations about the Spirit's current approach.We discuss the dreaded 'p' word (patience) and the tactical nuances of the NWSL that are disrupting the Spirit's preferred approach. We dive deep on proactive vs. reactive setups, winning the mini-games within the game, and loosening the requirement for sophistication with an evolving roster.After, we check on a few former Spirits with new clubs, and tell you what to expect from new and exciting signing Clara Luvanga.Please subscribe, rate and review, it means a lot to us! 🙏====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
Annie, Ella & André react to the Washington Spirit's first ever win at Providence Park, coming from behind to beat the Thorns 2-1.We discuss the no good very bad first half, which included conceding a penalty, plodding attacking play, and a half that ended with just two shots—both taken by center backs.Thankfully the second half was a different story. We review the halftime adjustments, Tara Rudd's penalty, the tweak that led to Mélissa Bethi's game winner, Andi's sacrifice to ensure victory, and we welcome everyone into IFAB Corner.Please subscribe, rate and review, it means a lot to us! 🙏====================Follow Hey SpiritsInstagram: heyspiritspodBluesky: heyspirits.bsky.socialYouTube: @HeySpirits====================Episode MusicTrack: Fungible — Hiracutch [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/ILkTHxSNenIFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/after-rain
