Veteran Players

As Jurgen Klopp once famously acknowledged, every side needs a conductor to knit things together, and that is true now more than ever

Claire breaks down the latest USWNT roster and what it means for the veterans who didn’t make the cut. Then, she dives into WNBA Free Agency and reflects on what happened with Elena Delle Donne. Finally, Claire wraps with an update on Caitlin Clark’s record chase and South Carolina’s convincing win over UConn, before circling back to the USWNT's current state and Lindsey Horan's much-discussed quotes on the team's mentality.

Lisa Roman and former USWNT midfielder Lori Lindsey start a new segment with Attacking Third to discuss all things about the United States Women's National Team. First, they do a Q & A Lori - when she played, her position, how she is a color analyst for NWSL, etc (4:06). Then they discuss the evolution of generations in the USWNT, balancing the veterans vs the younger generation of USWNT players (10:31).

Can some big roster decisions make it a fortress again? Do you feel like 2021 needs a redo? I almost do! COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy are being thrust into offseason mode much too quickly. With the MLSPA releasing their list of Free Agents for the 2022 season, decisions are going to be made very soon on the futures of several Galaxy players that have called LA home for a while. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are back to get you prepped for an offseason that won't have a ton of flexibility, but the Galaxy are hoping for familiarity to avoid another sad, beautiful, tragic season at Dignity Health Sports Park. But we're considering ourselves the lucky one to be here explaining what the Galaxy need to take into consideration when it comes to veteran players who do more than their time on the field would suggest. Can the Galaxy afford to bring back guys like Sacha Kljestan and Victor Vazquez knowing that as their bodies age everything has changed? This is just the first of many roster discussions Josh and Eric will be having in the offseason and they're also sprinkling in some stats on the improvement of the team from 2020 and maybe why that shouldn't be considered apples to oranges. How many goals better was the Galaxy's defense? And how many points of improvement should you expect in 2022? We've got a lot of details to share, and we'll tell you why Larry Morgan and Cog are never ever getting back together. Thanks for joining us on a very special night, and hopefully this won't be the last time we see you. A new season is already upon us. It's time to begin again!
