The NWSL Challenge Cup got off to a pretty crazy start between great games, a fight that spilled over to Twitter, and the horrible incident of racism that Sarah Gorden and her boyfriend faced at BBVA Stadium in Houston. I was joined by Alex Campbell, a Chicago soccer guru and Red Stars insider, who gave his perspective on the Sarah Gorden incident, how it will affect Chicago Red Stars moving forward, and the notable player who has not shown support for Gorden. We also talked about the Morgan Weaver Kristen Edmonds fight and all of its fallout, especially from Portland Thorns Twitter account. Shifting to the games, we also handed out Week 1 awards for best goal, biggest surprise and "who won the week," highlighting Racing Louisville FC's epic first game and Trinity Rodman's goal on her debut. We ended off with predictions for the 4 games this week: Gotham FC vs Orlando Pride, Racing Louisville vs Washington Spirit, Chicago Red Stars vs Portland Thorns, and Houston Dash vs OL Reign. 0:00 Intro 1:40 Sarah Gorden and Portland Thorns situations 14:00 Best of Week 1 25:30 Week 2 Predictions We are on the ROAD TO 500 SUBS, so if you are new to the channel, be sure to subscribe for DAILY soccer content, including: *Arsenal match reviews *Women's soccer content *Premier League and European soccer news *And much more!
