The Haunting of North Carolina by the Orange Bow of Brittany Ratcliffe [Spirit v. Courage Match Review]

Annie, Ella & André review the Spirit's 3-1 win over North Carolina Courage!

It was a multi-goal win in Jonatan Giráldez's sign off at Audi. We discuss another iffy start, how the Courage frustrated the Spirit early, the solution that led to two goals, and the toll the international break took on the entire team.

We also discuss the pre-match press conference, which doubled as a limited opportunity for some to ask Giráldez about his move to Lyonnes. We talk about how the questionable management of the presser didn't help clean up any of the poor optics, or messaging, around the move.

Then we look ahead to this weekend's match against a very streaky Portland Thorns team. Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review. It means a lot to us! 🙏
