About this episode

The episode discusses the USWNT's rematch against Brazil, analyzing the match's events including the issuance of 8 red cards.

Emma Hayes and the U.S. Women's National Team are in South America for a massive double-header against 2027 World Cup hosts, Brazil. Coming off a tough 2-1 defeat in São Paulo a few days ago—where an early Sophia Wilson goal wasn't quite enough to hold off a Brazilian attack—the USWNT is looking for immediate answers. Darian Jenkins, Jen Beattie and Lori Linsdey dive deep into tonight’s lineup selections, analyze how our favorite NWSL stars are handling the hostile Brazilian environment, and discuss what these crucial friendlies mean for the team's development ahead of competitive tournament cycles. 00:00 - Brazil vs USWNT postgame - initial reactions 04:53 - USWNT starting lineup 09:08 - Reactions from the match 13:26 - 8 red cards in the match 18:00 - Thoughts on Brazil after the two friendly matches 24:44 - Which USWNT players impressed in the match 35:34 - Biggest takeaway from these two matches Watch USWNT and NWSL games on P+" with a link to  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.paramountplus.com/home/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Attacking Third is available for free on the Audacy app as well as…
