Sue's breakdown of this gold medal game is so spot on! No surprise. KP, Kah, Sabrina really stepped up and DT shoulda been in from the first quarter. We were all screaming at the TV.
I have fallen down a deep hole of women’s soccer and women basketball since the Olympics, I know these athletes individually, had no clue they were a couple💛 this has been so cool to listen to current and past episodes. With the current spotlight on the wnba, I would loooooooove to hear Sue either be a commentator, player interviewer, I have no clue but Birds deep knowledge about basketball, ability to explain and speak in understandable terms is a gift. We don’t know the history of women’s basketball, she’s a apart of it. I admire the way she speaks about other players, she’s rational, it’s refreshing and I’m looking forward to listening more where ever she goes…..
Everything sue said about the gold medal game was spot on! Also love the long episodes, more of them please! I’ll rewatch multiple times while waiting for the next week’s episode!
Mia is my favorite player. Player and ref. She was from a military family and lived in many places. Soccer was her escape and place to shine. Played goalie too! Awesome!
Your flow (and obvious inside knowledge) is gold medal, world class. It's easily THE BEST podcast, and I listen to a lot. You guys have a gift that has nothing to do with your physical ability (which you've both independently proven OVER AND OVER AND OVER...) THANK YOU for bringing it back to all of us! Just like in women's sports, your talk is far better and more intellectually intriguing than any mens work. 👩🌾🧑🍳
Also, in terms of the closing ceremony, it's normally only the male athlete who is given the medal ceremony at closing! Paris is the first host to switch it and award the Women medals at the closing ceremony!!! A CHANGING OF TIME!!!!
I think I speak for everyone when I say we will never get sick of the stars coming back to be apart of the sports you've all had such an impact on! I loved seeing Mia on here she is so prolific and we don't get to see enough of her ❤ you all are crushing this launch and we will always want A Touch More of you both 🫶🏽
I have to agree with Megan Rapino's assessment of the Chrystal Dunn Paris 2019 World Cup quarter-final match-up against Dianni. It was epic and when I watched Dunn's performance in the Olympic 2024 gold medal-winning match, like Megan, it immediately reminded me of the Dunn vs' Diani World Cup 2019 clash. Many times I have searched to find the full 2019 France vs the USWNT match but the best I can find is a 13-minute highlight of the game which obviously is not the same.
I love this podcast! Sue! How could you forget coach Sandy Brondello?! She was the Mercury coach and now the Liberty coach. You even played with her in Seattle. :) Maybe you are only referring to the National teams.
I think it's great that you all stay connected to the USWNT. To see all the past players in the stands was really awesome. I think it's one thing that is special with women football and basketball where you are all there to support them and help. It's definitely not weird or creepy, so if the current players think that it is, then they just don't get it.
It's funny how so many young players coming into the senior US WNT from the youth national teams have reminded me of the OG's, Pinoe played a lot like Kristine Lilly, Abby like Michelle Akers, Carly lloyd like Shannon Macmillon, Mal like Mia LOL shot out to the OG's !!
Always great, would have been nice to cover other key sports like swimming, and newer ones. Looking forward to the travel episode. But being a NYr how ur always able to make a Gothem and Liberty game in the same day that are close. I always feel like I have to pick one bcz of traffic.
Sue definitely just brushed off A’ja’s contributions. Yeah her offense was off but don’t act like she didn’t do everything else. Defense, rebounds, getting to the line. she was everywhere in that gold medal game. Show some MF respect. M’VP.
When Meg brought A’s name and was getting ready to talk about her game, Sue quickly said yeah A’ja was good and Stewie. Meg wanted to dive more into game play. Her defense, rebounding, blocks were KEY!!! M’VP. I said what tf I sad. 😘
Megan is clearly wrong in the bicker but she knows it. Actually maybe L'Oréal is wrong for not sending the ladies enough product to keep Megan's paint brows out of Sue's gel stuff. And I, too, didn't like that DT got zero minutes in her last ever Olympic game. Nevermind the fact that she was clearly needed, it's a slap in the face to know what she's meant to the dynasty and keep her on the bench her last run.
Def not a fan of Cherly Reeve. I think the next National WB team will be better. Several questionable selections, and some questionable coaching decisions.

sue bird analyzing bball for us 🤯
A basketball mind 💥🤯
My favorite new podcast! I can't get enough of the bicker of the week. Very relatable.

Pinoe not knowing Jill is English is hilarious 😅
Love to see A Touch More back in action.
Will forever love bicker of the weeks! nothing is funnier than seeing megan react to whatever sue is going to explain to us 😂
You two are SO MUCH like me and my wife. The bicker of the week is spot on, I am a Sue through and through. So lucky to have found my Megan! ❤
Loved this! All of it! But really loved seeing Mia Hamm!!
Mia is my favorite player. Player and ref. She was from a military family and lived in many places. Soccer was her escape and place to shine. Played goalie too! Awesome!

I’m still watching the ep but I’m cracking up at the fact that Megan doesn’t remember if Jill Ellis is British or not 😂

SUE AND CANDACE SHOULD DO A BASKETBALL PODCAST CALLED CHECKS AND STRIPES!
It will be a hundred years before another player like Mia Hamm appears. The greatest USWNT player of all time.
I love how much Dawn loves A’ja
I'm sorry, Sue - I have loved you since 1999, but I just ADORE Megan! I know she must drive you crazy LOL, but she's amazing (and hilarious!!!)
You guys were made for each other❤
dying at bicker of the week facial expressions
Love the show!

*MIA HAMM!!!*
lol, i was wondering about the logistics of getting to the USA M BB game from the USWNT match. Thx for explaining for us virgo risings out there. 🤣

When you interview Alex Morgan?
I love Mia Hamm and 99ers i miss you Rapinoe in the games
It's funny how so many young players coming into the senior US WNT from the youth national teams have reminded me of the OG's, Pinoe played a lot like Kristine Lilly, Abby like Michelle Akers, Carly lloyd like Shannon Macmillon, Mal like Mia LOL shot out to the OG's !!
The most talented USWNT was that 2019 WC team. Look at every position!
I can’t wait for the next Sue or Megan!
Also, I rage when my shit has been moved without asking and or putting it back 😂
Always great, would have been nice to cover other key sports like swimming, and newer ones. Looking forward to the travel episode. But being a NYr how ur always able to make a Gothem and Liberty game in the same day that are close. I always feel like I have to pick one bcz of traffic.
every time i see dawn staley see confirms something in my journey.
Curious why they aren't talking about Megan's jersey retirement, especially when they were so vocal about Sue's.
need another release of the purple shirts plsplspls

M’VP! M’VP! M’VP!
Literally everyone has glazed A’ja and nobody else, calm down
Lol. Cheer for your fav, sis.
You’ve blossomed into a touch more of Sue! 😉 I think you need to share the origin story of the show name!
suggestion:pls use times mark 🙏
I’m glad y’all know how it feels to fan girl over your idol! I always try to keep my cool around Sue but fail miserably lol
Megan, love your hair!
lol it’s little pet peeves that I’d have too tbh 🤣
When they showed Megan on TV at USWNT Match I did not recognize her..
Thought maybe it was Trinity Rodman's Mother..
Where can we get the social distortion t-shirts?
CC is a point guard hmm🤔
What about the basketball? We didn’t seem to handle the ball well.
I wish BG would have been a flag bearer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤🤍💙
Next up the Paralympics!
yeah, but how many turnovers did Plum have that detracted from the 3s.. Agreed with Ionescu... Reeve relied on Young too much.
so agreed about Taurasi... disappointed Reeve ignored her the last couple of games.
Y’all know when you get married it’s 50/50 gel ownership
Don’t forget Celine
Megan is clearly wrong in the bicker but she knows it. Actually maybe L'Oréal is wrong for not sending the ladies enough product to keep Megan's paint brows out of Sue's gel stuff.

Sue nails it - reactive, not proactive, in regards to lineup changes, etc.
