Hayley and Charles recap the final match of the Challenge Cup against Portland, and go over the team’s performance across the whole tournament. Who were the standouts, what to make of the lopsided shape of the Dash 4-3-3, and what can we look forward to with the start of the regular season?

The NWSL also finally released the results of their investigation into the racial harassment incident with Sarah Gorden from the start of the tournament. We are, to say the least, not thrilled. Join us for some righteous anger, and some consideration of whether (and how) to support teams and leagues that consistently fail to live up to expectations.

You can follow us on Twitter at @DashActually. The show is produced in partnership with Backline Soccer (@backlinesoccer) and NWSL News (@NWSLNews).
