Episode Notes
We are wrapping up the WNBA season with the Aces’ championship parade in Las Vegas and looking ahead to the NWSL playoffs with a very special guest – the goalkeepers’ goalkeeper, Alyssa Naeher.
Alyssa talks about her decision to retire from the international game, what it’s like to lead a team as a goalkeeper, and why this year is being called her “soft era.”
We also tell you everything you need to know heading into the NWSL playoffs and the big picture on viewership stats.
And we share our favorite moments from the Aces’ championship parade (Becky dancing with Crime Mob?!), and Megan blind ranks the Aces players’ t-shirts.
Special Announcements! A Touch More Live, presented by Delta, Google Pixel, and Volkswagen will be at the NWSL Championship game in San Jose, California, on November 21st. Get tickets here.
