US Stars Transfer Overseas, the NWSL Welcomes Denver and the Introduction of Judge Christen!

Tobin and Christen take a look at the recent string of star players like Naomi Girma and Crystal Dunn transferring from the NWSL to international clubs and what it signifies across the game. How does the NWSL’s salary cap play a role in potentially losing American stars to other teams? How does the legacy of some teams like Chelsea play a role in making the invitation to play there too good to pass up? And how did playing overseas get Christen over-the-hump to make the USWNT? Plus, a discussion on the NWSL’s expansion with a 16th franchise coming to Denver, a new segment called Judge Christen and of course, your Community Questions!
