Hello friends can I offer you a nice podcast in this trying time

This week, Claire and Sandra sat down again with John D Halloran (@JohnDHalloran) - a Chicago Outfit exclusive! - to talk through 2015, the year where everything began to change for the Chicago Red Stars. They discuss the 2015 draft class, World Cup position shenanigans, and a game against Sky Blue that featured a wonderful goal by one Danny Colaprico.
