It was a two game week to forget for the Reign after losing to Angel City and Denver.

In this special edition of The Cooler Guild we welcome Grant Engle from Into the Channel onto the pod to guest co-host with Van while Coop is away on vacation. We chat about the ups and (mostly) downs of the week’s losses, take community questions, praise the Etsy witch, and Grant gives us his guide to this year's UEFA Women’s Champions League.

We are really enjoying the goals. With last weekend’s 2-0 win over Bay FC the Reign have scored in 14 consecutive matches. We give praise to the Etsy witch, discuss what worked against Bay, and our reluctant optimism for the upcoming playoff push. We also cover the other week 21 NWSL results and preview the Reign’s next match against Angel City.

The Cooler Guild Est. 2024

Maybe its magic, maybe its having enough Maddies. The Reign completed the season sweep of the San Diego Wave with a 1-0 victory at home this past weekend. We talk about the early red card drama, the Maddie connection, and how the team rallied to get a win despite their continued struggle to create quality chances. As always, we discuss results from around the league as well as preview the Reign’s next match.

Finishing could use some work but 3 valuable points were picked up. The Reign defeated Houston 1-0 last weekend, continuing a four-game home unbeaten streak. We discuss the team's statistical dominance in the match and our frustrations with the lack of offensive production, and give the defense our praises. We also cover results from around the league, talk about Van's question to NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman, and preview the Reign's next match.

Not a great road trip but we'll take the point. The Reign managed to come away with a point after two matches in 4 days on the road. We discuss both the loss to Racing and the draw at KC, how much the team misses Sam Meza, and the team's surprising star Maddie Mercado. We also cover results from around the league and preview Sunday's upcoming home match against Houston.

The Reign fought to a 2-2 tie against Angel City at home. In a change of pace, Reign were able to score two second half goals before giving up the lead. We discuss the match, the importance of earning points even when the team is not at their best, and the feelings of hope that are starting to surface. We also cover results from around the league and preview the Seattle's next match against Chicago. Cheers!

It was nervy at the end but Reign finally took down Bay FC. The team must’ve listened to our last episode as both Mia Fishel and Maddie Dahlien got on the scoreboard and the team finally notched a third goal. We discuss all the happenings of the match and what progress we are seeing as the second half of the season gets started. We also cover this week’s results from around the league and preview the Reign's next match.
