Rumors running rampant that there’ll be some ITC energy injected into today’s installment of Crunk & Friends. Lock in!!

We were joined by the great Bridie O'Toole to talk a little more about Brazil-USWNT, but more so to talk about some big-picture questions about the ol' Stars and Stripes heading into the 2027 World Cup. youtu.be/CL2tjF8MNOA?...

Happy Birthday, Lily 🎉

USA beat Brazil in match that featured multiple sideshows. We got to several of them and the football of it all... we think. youtu.be/FsZfGdetJiM?...

Are you gearing up for tomorrow's rematch between Brazil and USWNT? We talked about what happened Saturday, and what we expect tomorrow. Check it out here: youtu.be/lJnsUYXQxVY?...

USA notched a super-early goal vs. Brazil, but the home team stormed back within 12' and found a way to win. Was Brazil's press great, or was USA's attack bad? Maybe a little of both? youtu.be/lJnsUYXQxVY?...

Had an absolutely awesome time talking women's football with Chris Wittyngham of CBS Sports/Paramount+ 🏆 Great coverage on their part of this #UWCL season and great insights littered throughout this episode from a new friend of the show! #barca #barcafemeni #barcelona #barcelonafemeni

Ewa Pajor is the well-deserving Player of the Match, as Barcelona wins their fourth UEFA Women's Champions League. This trophy has eluded Pajor for a long time. Feels like for most non-Lyonnes supporters, it'll be cool to see her finally get her hands on it.

I asked Pere Romeu about Ewa Pajor, and he said she is "fundamental to the club." I then asked Pajor about the experience playing for Pere and at Barça, and she said "We put everything into training," and she went on to say her teammates have pushed her to get better.

YEAR OF THE HEAPS!!!!

Barcelona v Lyonnes, less than 24 hours away! And we've got a couple previews to keep you company before kickoff 🏆 LIVE FROM OSLO: youtu.be/_xSoZkhQ--0 #UWCL FINAL PREVIEW: youtu.be/uUeqzajwGcs

Grant was at the MD-1 press conferences and team training. He had thoughts. Dino had questions + thoughts. So, we did a show. youtu.be/_xSoZkhQ--0?...

@grantengle.bsky.social How about Mapi??? 🤣🤣

Remember that time when casuals were putting James Harden in the same breath as Dwyane Wade lol

I wouldn’t trade Dylan Harper for the NBA MVP. Am I crazy?

Dylan Harper’s handle is off the charts. Looks like I’m watching 2K. No one is beating the Spurs btw. They will destroy the Thunder and win the title. The Thunder will then acquire Giannis.

Whatever size bag she ask$ for, double it.

That’s six straight halves of clean sheet football for Bay FC Bay FC 0 Boston 0 @ HT 6-1 SoT advantage for Bay, but Boston out xG’ing the home side 0.74 - 0.54 #nwsl #victory+

Arsenal used a great second-half performance to jump ahead of Lyonnes 2-1 in the UWCL SF 1st leg. How did the Gunners limit Lyonnes' attack so effectively? youtu.be/QJF3qpbnLwI?...

International viewers can watch all games on NWSL+ 🌐

Can’t wait for Bayern v Barcelona in today’s #UWCL Semifinal 🏆 I continue to think Momoko Tanikawa will be a real x-factor for Bayern today. Watch our full preview: youtu.be/RqA2ggP3cCI

Champions League is back tomorrow when Bayern Munich takes on Barcelona. Can Bayern keep it closer than KC Current did vs. Washington Spirit? We'll see! youtu.be/RqA2ggP3cCI?...

JESS FISHLOCK RETIRING 🚨 EMERGENCY RETIREMENT EPISODE | SEATTLE REIGN FC | NWSL youtu.be/SOLxM8i1ZZA

Japan only needed 33 percent of the ball to beat USA Tuesday night in Seattle. How'd they do it? We discussed. youtu.be/nvd7LCuXJ_0?...

Excited for USWNT v Japan later tonight?? Come relive Saturday night's 2-1 triumph with your boys to get all the way prepped youtu.be/fxk-LBmX8ew

USWNT defeats Japan 2-1. It's the post-match coverage you asked for eight hours after the match. youtu.be/fxk-LBmX8ew?...

That’s 2 really good looks for Chelsea 17’

Tough first 15m to score. Chelsea looked a step/step and a half quicker early, but Arsenal seemed to have snapped into shape 10-10 round!

Huge chance for Nüsken there… please please no more of those 8’ #UWCL

Death lineup front 3 for Chelsea: LJ-Kerr-Alyssa up top Hyped!!!! #UWCL

And Dallman makes it 2-0 Follow your boy for more soothsayin’!

In Glodis we trust

67’ Wicked turn from Dallman there

Wow, seeing Park try to play out there and literally no one even pretending to jog with or even behind her isn’t a great sign for United 60’

Bayern don’t look like they’re going to score unless is it’s off a corner or a counter. They’re just knocking it around somewhat aimlessly #UWCL

HT! Bayern 0 United 1 (3-3) Can’t believe I’m saying this but Gilles and Glodis Perla feel overmatched back there. Bayern should consider a change, especially if you’re a believer in calibration. Feels like there’s at least one more coming from Malard/Rolfö/Park if things stay as-is #UWCL

Feels like Dallman and her fast twitch decision making in the MF is something Bayern will really need today

33m and Bayern’s 1st shot is an absolute dribbler. 2nd chance, better look from Gilles but wow does their offense look stuck in the mud.

I cannot wait to see what happens to our comments section if United goes through #UWCL … I’m rooting for it at this point

Malard v Mahmutovic round 3 goes to the keeper. Huge stop.

The Malard moment we’ve been waiting for 3-3 on agg

First high stakes duel goes to Bayern w/ Mahmutovic standing tall against a legit Malard chance 5’

Am I crazy or is that a pretty noticeable Vanessa Gilles limp?

HAPPY DOUBLE ESPRESSO DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE
