Triumphs, Threats, and New Beginnings: SheBelieves, Asian Cup, and NWSL Opening Weekend

In this episode of Our Home Ground, Brigitte recaps a long international window and highlights the AFC Asian Cup in Australia. She focuses on Iran’s women’s national team after players protested by staying silent during the anthem, then later sang amid reports of threats; after Iran’s exit, five players stayed in Australia seeking asylum, which Australia granted, and Brisbane Roar offered support and a place to train. The host also criticizes the late postponement of WAFCON. On-field, the U.S. won the SheBelieves Cup for the eighth time (beating Argentina 2–0, Canada 1–0, and Colombia 1–0), with a lighthearted spotlight on Emily Sonnett’s record 11th SheBelieves roster and eight titles. Finally, the host looks ahead to NWSL opening weekend (including expansion teams Boston and Denver), Sophia Wilson’s return, the ongoing WSL season, and upcoming Champions League quarterfinals. 00:00 Welcome Back and Updates 01:16 Asian Cup Overview 02:44 Iran Team Protest and Backlash 06:25 Asylum and Support in Australia 11:16 WAFCON Postponement Outrage 12:52 SheBelieves Cup Recap 14:25 Emily Sonnett Running Joke 17:25 USWNT Form and Japan Next 18:41 Daylight Savings and NWSL Return 21:14 More Soccer Ahead and Wrap Up
