Episode Notes
After 540 days, Sophia Wilson is back scoring in the NWSL. So, what does it mean for the former MVP to net her first goal since returning from the birth of her first child?
Host Jillian Sakovits is joined by The Athletic’s Asli Pelit to break down the top two games from the NWSL weekend. The Washington Spirit’s 4-0 win over the KC Current at a sold-out Audi Field, and the Portland Thorns’ 2-1 road win over Angel City FC in Los Angeles, where Wilson marked her return. Asli was even in D.C. on Friday to get the scoop on what is behind the Spirit’s two-game win streak that snapped a four-game winless run to start 2026. Who is the Spirit’s new lucky mascot, Jose the coyote?
PLUS: Jill and Theo recap a wild round of first-leg semifinals in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. What happened in Munich and London, and who is poised to advance to the final?
