The show returns after a summer break that happened for a lot of reasons, which host Jonathan Tannenwald explains at the start. Then he welcomes RJ Allen of Backline Soccer for a long look at all the news that has happened around the NWSL, from the Portland Thorns winning the International Champions Cup to the scandals at the Washington Spirit, Gotham FC, and Racing Louisville. Plus some analysis of each of the other teams in the league.
