USA vs Spain SEMIFINAL Preview + Why the Mystics & Wings Are Ahead of Schedule

Team USA is headed to the World Cup semifinals — and Spain may be its toughest test yet. 🇺🇸🇪🇸

On today’s show, we break down the semifinal matchups, including what Spain needs to do to slow down the Americans and whether Germany can pull off another massive upset against France.

Then we turn to the WNBA and two of the league’s biggest young surprises:

🏀 Washington Mystics: Sitting at 24–16 and fourth in the East, Washington has emerged as one of the league’s most exciting young teams. Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen and Shakira Austin are building a foundation that could make the Mystics a legitimate contender sooner than expected.

🏀 Dallas Wings: After going just 10–34 last season, Dallas has made a massive leap to 24–16 and is firmly in the playoff picture. Paige Bueckers has become the centerpiece of the franchise alongside veteran scorer Arike Ogunbowale — but how quickly can the Wings become a true Western Conference contender?
