You're crushing this Sam. You were born to do this!!!

As a die hard that watches as many games as I can, I was so frustrated with the media deal split between six different platforms! Even if you have one team you follow, you would need six subscriptions to watch every game...that doesn't seem like it would help grow viewership. I would love to see something like MLS does, where you pay one fee to watch an entire season.

I recommend FUBO! This is pretty typical experience with sports fans! Love that MLS is moving in a direction that is more in line with the world of streaming services. That being said the NWSL being able to make 4 different deals is a show of growth for the sport!

I'm so psyched for the NWSL season - got GOTHAM season tickets!!!! GO BATS!!!

Jayden Shaw for golden boot! This is her year to shine!

Sam and Rog together, playing together in conversation about The Women's Game of FOOTBALL...priceless! So FUN!

Hello Sam. Being from UK, I have no shortage of football⚽️ to watch and little time, but I have enjoyed watching this show, if not the US league games. My favourite current US player is Midge Purce from her comments on the last World Cup, then she showed in style that she could do it as well as talk about it. I watched Barcelona since they signed English players and try to catch every match since as it is like an exhibition game nearly every time. I saw Asisat Oshoala and commented all over that Manchester United needed a player like her. Their loss that Asisat is coming to America. Have a good season that side of the pond.

Sammy, you've been the busiest gal in soccer coverage this year! I love every bit of it.

I've been following NWSL from Italy. I support Racing Louisville because my favourite player plays with them: Katie Lund the best keeper. I started supporting RL after Katie Lund's great performance against Bayern Munich when she entered and saved 4 penalties and scored the last one. I hope she will capped for USWNT

I’ve been struggling trying to pick a fav team, so fingers crossed that this video will help me make up my mind🤞

Wow! I can’t get enough of my Sammy! So looking forward to expanding my knowledge of soccer terms like playing the “6, 9 or 10” (choose any number) , team strategy types, wide, high, etc.

NEVER understood the #’s

I watch from Scotland. I am very grateful that NWSL+ is making every game available to watch here. I have been watching the PWHL on KZread, as well. Women’s sports is on the move, baby. In terms of two competing leagues, I wouldn’t be surprised if it leads to mass expansion, similar to the NHL/WHL. I hope there ends up being a team in Toronto. And I hope they call them the Harbour Rats!

Who you got in the PWHL Finals?

[Edit]: Going to be looking closely at Bay FC and Chicago (native, so I have to support my city). Super excited to have Lorne Donaldson as our Manager, I think we're gonna see big things from Chicago! Love that you guys brought up the USL for a bit. At face value, I think it has the capacity to be a net positive mainly because it presents more professional opportunities. This country is MASSIVE and we produce so many elite soccer players but the opportunity for those elite players to go on and play professionally is still so incredibly limited. If we look across the pond to Europe most countries (which I liken to US states as far land mass and population is concerned) now have their own professional leagues. Are they all as competitive as the NWSL? No, but the point is that the opportunity to play professionally is much more accessible per capita. With that said, the concern about healthy competition and financial stability between the USL and NWSL is a real one.

I still have my Breaker's scarf!!! Was a season ticket holder for all years plus some of the previous teams.

"...not necessarily known for my fashion sense, per se..." 😂 Sam, that is the best comedy line I have heard on KZread all week!

Portland Thorns .. Becky is our forever caption

Yall, I am HERE for Sammy 2.0 Freaking killin it, Sam ❤

fantastic coverage. exactly what is needed. great fun.

I used to volunteer for the Boston Breakers!!!! For years!

Also Barca’s coach headed to Spirit… I literally can’t wait to see how that impacts play.

Yeah! WNY Flash were EPIC!!!

I'm living for the heart outro transition!!!

LOVE this sam. LOVE that you do this. i was the one that left that strange message on the 888 number about wearing shin guards, etc. i don’t think the pod needs to be an hour. there are other pods , highlights, interviews etc that i like to watch. i think it’s too long just because i don’t have time in the day. actually now i’m getting a massage as i listen. sometimes when i walk. just a suggestion. rog is great. would love to work for him.

I'm excited about each and every NWSL team, including the Orlando Orange kit. Most of all, though I'm looking forward to onward and upward with Racing Louisville and the return of the Chicago Red Stars and Mal Swanson!

Rog is here?! So excited

As a BayFC fan, I wish their colors had more of the burnt orange that is the Golden Gate Bridge.

Omg Sam you are so right! Rodman going to get coaches by Hayes and Spirit coach- she’s going to get sooooo crazy good

How do we subscribe to the newsletter?

Wow watching on prime is perfect, watched half of Gotham vs San Diego on my phone cause I was out of the house, then caught the end of the game on the 55" screen way better. So glad you said that. Your show is good but kinda long😂

The Courage blood runs deep when it comes to the Thorns 😂

Imagine if Barca’s coach brings some of his players to spirit!!!! I can’t wait to see how he shapes the spirit and omg Rodman!!!

Rob is right, always 🌹🏆

Wooo thanks for bringing up the new USL super league! Going for the Spokane Zephyr! I hope that the USL can only help provide an avenue for talent to get some professional experience before the NWSL. 🙏

I think SD wave is gonna dominate !

I've always said Sam Mewis is wise.

I struggle to understand why people question if we have enough high quality women’s soccer players in the United States to produce another league that is close to, or will eventually be even with the level of play in the NWSL. If anything, I feel like we don’t have enough teams, and opportunities for high quality players to continue playing beyond college in the United States. Consider the amount of high quality players each year that don’t get drafted, or opt to go overseas to play in a second division just to continue their dream of one day playing professional soccer in the United States. WNBA fans are shaking their heads at us right now.

Gotham went from favored underdogs last year to the supervillain team this year.

Gotham FC, alternatively known as Sam's besties FC

Sure, it's good that Nike worked with each team to design jerseys, but where are the match (authentic) jerseys for us to buy?!?!?!? I'm starting to wonder if they're going to sell them at all

They are available on all the teams websites! I think they have been available since they were released. Also Amazon has nwsl team gear but not the jerseys.

NC style BBQ rocks!

Banda is gonna eat in this transitional league, with Marta and Adrianna feeding her, the golden boot is hers, it’s not even gonna be close.

@@BusyWatchingWomensSoccerI think the only pairs that stand a chance are Grima/Dhalkemper and Rafa/Sams(Madril), and the latter 2 won’t be a problem.

NWSL is soooo physical, all these new WSL players out of breath by halftime haha

see you all at the gotham game on friday!

Such a thick brit accent for my ears

I know saying Alex Morgan makes you casual. She needs the cred from the non casuals on how people started to like this league.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kansas City current wins the NWSL championship- everyone watch how this investment empowers these athletes to crush everyone!!!

It’s like we have ONE NFL, one NHL, one NBA, one WNBA, one NWSL…. Why create a USL? It’s going to be fringe and that sucks because women’s soccer deserves a top tier NWSL league !

Rose seems like she gets injured a lot no?

Nice show but it would have been nice if you actually talked about Racing.

I thought I heard that a minor league was coming. Now it's another pro league??? Confused 🤔

It’s a D2 league but since CONCACAF set such a low bar for D1 status they got it, but they are not a D1 league.

Great stuff Sam! If you're trying to make it natural, then done look away reading the script. Also just don't script conversations, monologues fine but come on

Hanover ? This is unbearable. Sam next you will move to NYC metropolitan area?

BayFC kit so boring! Where is the life! Fog city gray?!?

Really? only 2 minutes on the Dash & most of that was pimping an upcoming podcast episode? Cmon Sam & Rog, do better!

I think it is SO dumb to create the USL. It will flop. Why don’t we just pour all the energy into the NWSL. Why try to divide the attention of the NWSL fans. I agree Sam! I don’t like it !!!

This fella gives me the creeps.
