#340: Naomi Girma joins the pod, plus we break down the Germany friendlies

Sanjay Sujanthakumar interviews reigning NWSL defender of the
year Naomi Girma (perhaps the USWNT's top centerback now?) about
everything from her Ethiopian-American upbringing to her academic
work in "symbolic systems." And then Greg and Belz recap the two
friendlies against Germany. Last non-USMNT episode before we
happily enter the World Cup gauntlet.
