Kelley O’Hara and Ali Riley break down the chaos heading into Decision Day, with Seattle Reign, North Carolina Courage, and Denver Summit battling for the final playoff spot. 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. At the top of the table, San Diego Wave's draw against Boston Legacy puts Gotham in control of the NWSL Shield race. Can Gotham finish the job, or does San Diego have one last surprise in store? 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. Plus, we dig into FIFPRO's alarming report on women's soccer, FIFA's World Cup funding announcement, and share some hilarious Halloween memories from their Stanford days before revealing their latest bet consequence.
