The 2026 NWSL season is here! Sam and Emma sit down to chat about the Portland Thorns season opening fixture in D.C. against the Spirit. How might the Thorns fare? Who will be on the sidelines? Will Soph Wilson start? We chat through all of that, after of course putting some respect on Renee Lyles' name (give her a contract, Jeff!).
