Author: Southside Trap Podcast April 15, 2021 Duration: 1:10:24

Chicago played their first 2021 Challenge Cup match on Friday, and we've got many things (no goals) to discuss (no goals). Topics include defensive formations, not losing, the impossibility of scoring goals, and...mustard. We also discuss the very serious incident Sarah Gorden experienced after the match, and the insufficiency of responses from those in authority. It's going to take all of us to keep everybody safe. We then look to Chicago's upcoming match against the Portland Thorns.
