Are you suffering from #WOSO withdrawal? Are you looking for a game with a local angle to get you through the long holiday weekend? Check out our preview of the international matches featuring Washington Spirit and DC Power players.
International Preview: Spirit and DC Power Players Called Up For Their Countries
Are you feeling local soccer withdrawal with D.C. United, the Spirit, and Loudoun done for the year and D.C. Power off until December 6th? Well, you’re in luck. The final international window of the year is about to kick open and features 13 matches with 10 local players. The games are spread across what is traditionally a long holiday weekend for Americans.

Growing the media coverage around women's sports is one of the most important pieces to increasing fandom, viewership, & sustainability. Huge shout out to @838carlisle.bsky.social @annieelliott.bsky.social @ellabrockway.bsky.social for giving Spirit fans a home away from the pitch. 2026 here we go!

The Spirit's year ended on a dour note, but it's been very nice to hear so much kind listener feedback as we wrap up another season of the pod.

Thanks to all who hung with us for 51 (!!) episodes and made this year memorable. Grateful for how this project has become part of the D.C. ⚽ community.

I think in my crash out I didn’t stop to consider this is Adrian fist year in coaching and it wasn’t even a full year. Even with half a season he did so much including building a strong culture. I think we’re gonna be alright.

AND no other team or fanbase in the NWSL is like us!

Listened to @heyspirits.bsky.social today. Hearing people much more knowledgeable about soccer than I discuss the final helped me process it and appreciate the season. It felt like the closure I needed. Thank you @838carlisle.bsky.social, @annieelliott.bsky.social, + @ellabrockway.bsky.social. 💛🖤

After every match this season, usually on a Monday or Tuesday morning, I listen to Hey Spirits and it brings so much joy. This episode is no different. Thanks to these three for such a great team podcast!

I completely agree. This team is something special and they don't need a trophy or medals to prove it. Though, it would be nice because it feels like a lot of outsiders brushed past all of the accomplishments this year. This episode was great and helped me process. Group therapy indeed.

The adults in the room😂 @heyspirits.bsky.social broke down the game very well. I know a lot of people won’t be able to listen just yet and that’s okay. But ultimately the takeaway and something i echoed too after the game was this loss doesn’t take away from the great things the team accomplished

It’s probably a bit hyperbolic to say the @heyspirits.bsky.social team is doing god’s work when they give us an 80 minute processing session the day after a really tough loss, but damn did I feel relieved to get that notification 🎧💛
