Sooooo how's the 1,000-day plan going? Chicago Stars FC have been one of the worst teams in the NWSL for three years running now, fluke 2024 playoff berth notwithstanding. They've shipped Ludmila to San Diego, and haven't brought in reinforcements. ⁠Lesley Ryder⁠ joins the guys to hunt for any signs of hope, and whether Laura Ricketts and Richard Feuz can be trusted to build a winner in the years to come.
