Portland Thorns help send FOUR teams to the playoffs, Angel City FC celebrates its postseason berth, and Denver keeps its playoff dreams alive with a massive win over Racing Louisville.

Then things get spooky with some NWSL trick-or-treats, including Croix Bethune's record-breaking season, the growing Angel City-Denver rivalry, and why nobody should underestimate Portland in the playoffs.

Ali & Kelley are answering YOUR questions! First, they get the big one out of the way: did Ali and Kelley ever date? Then they look back on their favorite stadiums and wildest places they played, before getting into the NWSL — whether Gotham should rest players after clinching a playoff spot, why the Shield deserves more respect, and what’s really going on with the Washington Spirit. Plus Ali opens up about struggling with injuries, identity, and finding balance outside of soccer, while Kelley remembers the first time she arrived at a USWNT youth camp and immediately wondered if she belonged. We talk long-distance relationships as professional athletes, the places they wish they could have played, and where they’d put their own NWSL expansion teams.

Ali Riley & Kelley O’Hara react to the USWNT roster drop! Ashley Sanchez is back with the USWNT after an incredible NWSL season, but the latest roster also comes with some big surprises. Jaedyn Shaw and Ally Sentnor are left out, Evelyn Shores gets her opportunity, and the competition for spots ahead of the 2027 World Cup is getting real. Atlanta City FC officially reveals its name and crest ahead of joining the NWSL in 2028, and Kelley shares what she’s heard about the club’s plans — including which Atlanta-connected players could eventually make sense for the roster. Plus the NWSL playoff race somehow keeps getting tighter. Angel City stays hot, Gotham keeps rolling, Ashley Sanchez continues her historic season, and the middle of the table remains complete CHAOS.
