In this episode of The Lion’s Pitch, Sean Nahas exits, we break down Houston heartbreak, explore a listener question on throw-ins, and peek at key league shake-ups.
The North Carolina Courage surprised fans by abruptly parting ways with head coach Sean Nahas over vague 'performance and culture' concerns, leaving questions after a tense press conference.
With Sean Nahas gone, Katie shares her pick and weighs whether the club should act now or wait for the offseason to revamp the system and offense.
In a week already full of challenges, the Courage fielded an unusual lineup in Houston and struck first with a penalty, only to see the Dash pull level, then break hearts with a stoppage-time winner.
The Courage piled up some standout stats with shots and corners flying early, but despite a strong start, the game slipped away in typical soccer fashion.
The Courage head back to WakeMed to take on their fierce rivals, a team loaded with attacking firepower, and with playoff hopes still alive.
Someone asked if the Courage have a “worse-than-average” throw-in success rate. It sparked a deeper conversation about the team’s offensive movement.
We cover some exciting comings and goings in the league, including familiar faces making moves.
