This week on Laces Out Loud, we open with a heartfelt tribute to Zuko, our beloved black cat and unofficial podcast supervisor, before diving back into the beautiful game. Alli brings the spreadsheets, the math, and the FBref deep dive as we explore the growing international footprint of the NWSL: which countries are represented, which players are logging serious minutes, and which clubs are building the most global rosters.

From Sandy MacIver and Rosemonde Kouassi with the Washington Spirit to Assata Traoré, Iceland’s impact, England’s strong presence, Jamaica’s rise, and San Diego’s international firepower, we look at what these numbers say about the NWSL as one of the best women’s soccer leagues in the world.

Plus: Racing Louisville’s international goose egg, vegetarian breakfast chaos in Kentucky, and Gurushabd’s trip to BMO for Angel City vs. San Diego Wave.
