Trip Around Europe + Mark Parsons (back) to the Spirits

Diaspora United

Courtney & André return to your ear holes with another episode! We've been NWSL and USWNT-heavy in recent weeks so in this episode we start with a trot around Europe. We catch you up on each top European league, identify players who are ballin outta control, and pick out some upcoming games to watch. Then we look ahead to this week's UWCL matchups, including how each group stands, plus the real possibility that Lyon and/or PSG could miss the knockout rounds.

After that we head back Stateside to chat about the Washington Spirit hiring Mark Parsons, and discuss our concerns about the hiring process. Then, in Heated & Hyped, André hates what they've done to the men's World Cup and the whataboutism surrounding critiques of the tournament and Courtney provides an important lesson on "unbias coverage." But they end on a high note, as André is hyped about the College Cup and Courtney is living in a winter wonderland where Mariah Carey is queen.

Please listen, subscribe, rate and review – we appreciate y'all.
