00:00So let's move north and let's talk about NWSL because things are really ramping up.

00:05We are nearing the end of the season, guys.

00:07Wow, it has gone by so fast.

00:09And this was a huge weekend.

00:11Alex, tell us a little bit about it.

00:13I mean, we saw Kansas City lose their 17-game winning streak against a 10th place Houston.

00:20I mean, what is going on, Kami?

00:21This was, for me, the biggest upset of the season, guys.

00:25I mean, Kansas City has been, you know, the best team.

00:29I can confidently say they have been the best team so far.

00:32I don't know what kind of performance we saw, but even though this is a massive win for Houston Dash,

00:37they are still in 10th place, and this is just not enough to get them into the playoffs.

00:41They have been officially eliminated, but we had another super exciting game,

00:46Orlando Pride versus Washington Spirit.

00:48Alex, tell us about it.

00:49I mean, this game ending with their dub 3-2 against Washington,

00:54and this is very important because they have been in rough waters so far.

00:57Two draws and two wins with a loss in their last five games.

01:02And, you know, hopefully they're able to take this momentum into the next game against Seattle

01:07and, you know, maybe take this energy to the playoffs.

01:10Yeah, absolutely.

01:11I mean, when we talk about Orlando Pride, this was last season's champion, right?

01:15And, you know, towards the end of this season, it was looking kind of murky.

01:18I just didn't see the same Orlando Pride that we saw from last season,

01:21but hopefully this win is enough, you know, to keep that momentum into Washington Spirit.

01:26Again, Orlando Pride is in third place.

01:29Washington Spirit is in fourth.

01:30So this is going to be a massive game.

01:33It is so important, and it's going to show us who the top dog is of the NWSL.

01:37But, Gami, real quick, I got to ask you.

01:39I haven't been hearing a lot of news over Angel City.

01:42What's going on with them?

01:44My Angel City, they had so much potential.

01:46It looked like they were going to be a dark horse,

01:48but they have been officially eliminated.

01:51They needed to win their game this weekend, and they lost 2-0.

01:55This was a team that had a lot of promise, right?

01:57But after, you know, losing Thompson and now Kristen Press,

02:01it's not looking good for them, and they have been officially eliminated.
