Just past the halfway mark of the season, we've got another NWSL coach that's been relieved of her duties. Lori Lindsey joins Soccerwise as a special co-host and talks about what transpired in Utah, and explains to David Gass what fans of the expansion side can expect from a post-Amy Rodriguez world. Lori and Gass also preview the huge top-of-the-table clash on Saturday between KC Current and the Orlando Pride at the official site of the 2024 NWSL Cup, and discuss the possibility of Julia Grosso joining the Chicago Red Stars to reinforce their midfield. Lastly, the Soccerwise Board of Directors updates the loyal listeners on their search for quarters under the couch in an effort to match the $250 million bid to acquire Angel City FC.
