    The Reality Sets In
    Apr 28 2023
    Hey everybody! Bri is back this week and along with Luis take a look back to the double match week. Predictions were made correctly and feelings are shared. Also on the show, we talk PRO referees as the organization put up an article about the VAR decision against Gotham, admitting it was not clear and obvious so shouldn’t have been reviewed by VAR. Here’s the link to that: https://proreferees.com/2023/04/22/2023-the-definitive-angle-nwsl-week-3/

    To wrap up the show, we preview the match against the San Diego Wave. Even though the Pride have a good record against the Wave, Bri and Luis don’t pick a win. Finally we get our first questions via email that we answer. Thanks for that KC!

    Hey everybody! Bri and Luis are back as the Orlando Pride take on NJ/NY Gotham FC Before we even start talking about our team in purple, Bri and Luis talk about which team Julie Ertz will sign with in the NWSL. We wouldn’t talk about the ref from the Angel City match, but PRO put out a video explaining the decision to one of the PK calls against the Pride. There was ranting and swearing. Here’s the link on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7rXy16Wr2H8?t=390

    We talk a bit about Leah Pruitt announcing her retirement while looking back at the trade that brought her to Orlando and Thais Reiss signing with the team for a one-year deal. Oh and she takes up an international spot. Finally, Bri andI talk about the Gotham match and give our thoughts on what the Pride will need to do to get a result. As always, predictions were made.
