And then there were six... (+ HOU, ORL, RL & KC season recaps)

Diaspora United

Courtney & André return with an XXL episode! We start off by discussing the Portland Thorns' hiring of Karina LeBlanc as GM, the NWSL's lost-but-maybe-always-there-though-never-ever-enforced 'Rooney Rule', and the Kansas City Current (shoutout KC please don't hate us for laughing at one of your nicknames).
Then....IT'S MF'N PLAYOFF TIME!
We get into the last bit of the regular season that put the playoff picture into focus by going over OL Reign lookin filthy, Gotham struggling to score goals, and James Clarkson needing to learn that having learned isn't weakness. Then we look ahead to the first round of the playoffs where, surprisingly, Courtney is feeling MUCH more secure about one match than André is!
But we don't stop there, it's not all about the six who made the playoffs. We talk about the four teams that missed out, how their season's went, and what changes need to be made ahead of the 2022 season.
Then in Heated & Hyped we lament Virginia politics and say again, for the fifty-leventh time, do. not. let. Kaiya's. name. be. erased. from. this. moment! Then we switch over to what's got us hyped, which comes with a very important life hack that you need.
