Triple Espresso is BACK! Mallory Swanson has been called up to the #USWNT for matches in/against Brazil on June 6th and 9th, reuniting with Trinity Rodman and Sophia Wilson ☕️☕️☕️ #uswnt #nwsl

🦢 ➡️🇧🇷

MAL MAL MAL!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like ‘extremely attacking right wing back Nadia Gomes’ gets another run out today Maitane and Jameese Joseph are in the XI #nwsl

Updating a graphic from last episode… #nwsl

Welcome back, Mallory Swanson! Mal makes her return to the pitch after having her baby.

MAL BACK

Hey Mal is back! *Alyssa Naeher gets hurt*

Heyyy Mal! 👋

This is a really weird order… but what would make the most sense is a Back 3 with Bike and Gareis as wingbacks, Hayashi-Pinto-Grosso in midfield, Gomes and Huitema up front #nwsl

🚨🚨🚨MAL IS BACK🚨🚨🚨

NEW PODCAST but same old Stars... ugh After a win vs Boston, it's been 3 losses, 0 goals and a whole bunch of deja vu Alex is joined by @lesleyryder.bsky.social of @galpalsports.bsky.social for some Stars fan therapy as the relief of the World Cup break approaches #nwsl allchgo.com/chgo-red-sta...

LIVE SOON @acampbellsports.bsky.social and @lesleyryder.bsky.social are here for you, Stars fans... the doctors are in What's not in? The ball in the other team's goal (except vs Boston) It's your monthly Chicago WoSo therapy session. Save us, Mallory Swanson #nwsl youtube.com/live/d_tXVR0...

TOMORROW On @chgo-fire.bsky.social: the Fire suddenly can’t defend anyone (except Sporting KC) and they’re out of the Open Cup. What’s up? Also, Lewandowski news On @chgo-stars.bsky.social… this team is almost literally pointless and can’t score… pain 4:30 + 5:15, CHGO YouTube #cf97 #nwsl

The Chicago Stars

Looks like Bike at right back and Alozie as a winger? Farmer stays in defensive midfield partnering Hayashi Gomes continues on the other wing #nwsl

🚨🚨🚨

Hmmmmm well this isn't ideal #nwsl

LINEUP! Naeher back in, as is Hayashi to partner Farmer who stays in midfield Bike at right (wing) back #nwsl

STARS WIN! Huitema and Gomes the goals, Atkinson player of the match, points on the board! Boston are rooted to the foot of the table #nwsl

This is some 'Katie Atkinson is good' and mostly 'Boston are BAD' #nwsl

And now Katie Atkinson just got cleaned out in a collision that looks to have included a glancing blow of a knee to her head... but thankfully after taking a moment she seems ok #nwsl

On replay, Huitema's forehead went right into the back of the defender's (can't see who) head and there was immediate concern. Boston defender is sitting up, Huitema remains on her back on the turf being attended to by trainers along with Julia Grosso #nwsl

2-0 STARS A long ball by Staab just isn't dealt with by the Boston defense, Gareis runs on to it and squares for Gomes to chip is past a sprawling Murphy #nwsl

Not a pretty goal but they all count!

Katie Atkinson keeps her place in goal Alozie returns to the XI at right back Looks like Aaliyah Farmer is going to play in defensive midfield alongside Emma Egizii? Gareis and Gomes either side of Jordyn Huitema, who’s fit again #nwsl

Micayla Johnson scored two goals today for the US U19s in a 3-1 win over Argentina! #uswnt #usynt #nwsl

We have a NEW POD and can't sugar coat it, the Stars are just bad! Tara from @bootspod.bsky.social joins to give her perspective, before she and @acampbellsports.bsky.social move on to discuss some #NWSL Storylines and the #USWNT allchgo.com/chgo-stars-p...

Jameese Joseph is in the game for the #USWNT! 11 minutes plus stoppage time to go and chasing a goal

TODAY at 5:15: @acampbellsports.bsky.social is joined by Tara of @bootspod.bsky.social @scuffed.bsky.social for her take on the state of the Stars, plus some #NWSL and #USWNT chat youtube.com/live/qGym502...

Tomorrow at 5:15! We’ll talk about the Stars as much as there is anything new to say, and then we’ll get to some league-wide stories and the current #USWNT camp! #nwsl

From her Instagram (@malpugh): Mallory Swanson is back in Stars training! #uswnt #nwsl

Team doesn’t have center back or full back depth, has started a midfielder and a rookie in those respective positions several times this year, loans out a player who provided cover in both Just another day trying to make sense of the Chicago Stars #nwsl

A LOT going on Atkinson makes her Stars debut, Naeher on the bench Hendrich makes her fist start of the season and captains the team Maitane back in, Bea Franklin on the bench Joseph starts at striker Gomes makes her first start of the year Alozie is fit enough to make the bench #nwsl

Jameese Joseph's parents asked for receipts when she told them she was called up to the national team 🤣

LINEUP Despite this being a 3rd game in 6 days Dellarose, Staab, Franklin, Pinto, Hayashi, Grosso and Gareis all make a 3rd straight start Bike continues at right back in place of the injured Alozie Maintane is on the bench; Pinto will play deeper Chacon gets her first start of 2026 #nwsl

We are awaiting remarks from Martin Sjogren and Stars players following the 3-0 loss to Orlando... quotes, notes, updates to follow #nwsl

0' UNDERWAY in Evanston Stars flip to their black kits, Orlando in their away pastels #nwsl #withthestars

Well, the crowd is getting their reps in... 3 chants led before kickoff!

The new "Together We Rise" call-and-response chant is a work in progress, but for the fact that there are *maybe* 1000 fans here right now it actually sounded ok? As talked about on the pod: everyone is doing their best #nwsl #withthestars

STARS LINEUP! Jameese Joseph replaces the injured Jordyn Huitema Elise Evans fills the vacated spot on the bench, her first time in the squad this season A surprising lack of rotation from Martin Sjorgren for this second game in six days #withthestars #nwsl

Just the *slightly* better weather conditions tonight in Evanston for Stars vs Pride #withthestars #nwsl

Two games in, we've got a NEW POD! @acampbellsports.bsky.social is joined by @joechatz.bsky.social of @ontapsportsnet.bsky.social to try and square the very bad and pretty good of the Stars' results, along with the team's befuddling stadium situation #nwsl #withthestars allchgo.com/chgo-stars-p...

Jordyn Huitema is OUT tomorrow, not with a head injury but a hip injury. Will Jameese Joseph, Brianna Pinto or Ivonne Chacon get the nod up front?? 🤔 #nwsl #withthestars
