The Most Dominant Team You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

We shine our party spotlight on one of the most dominant dynasties in sports you’ve probably never heard of: the U.S. Women’s Deaf National Soccer Team. Julie and Abby are joined by legends Amy Griffin and Joy Fawcett, alongside current star Erin Cembrale, to break down the team’s unbelievable record—44 wins, zero losses, five Deaflympics gold medals, multiple world titles, and a culture built brick by brick through grit, fundraising, and community. They also chat the massive week in women’s sports, including Texas A&M’s historic NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship run and record-breaking viewership, WNBA Players Association strike authorization amid ongoing CBA negotiations, and the soaring franchise valuations revealed in Forbes’ most valuable women’s sports teams rankings.   Follow @welcometothepartyshow on: YouTube — @welcometothepartyshow Instagram — @welcometothepartyshow TikTok — @welcometothepartyshow Email — [email protected]   Keep the Party Going: Come See Me in the Good Light: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/come-see-me-in-the-good-light/umc.cmc.27uh51l7oh3ghql2gxb6xvb1s Forbes releases the Most Valuable Women’s Sports Teams rankings: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2025/12/17/the-worlds-most-valuable-womens-sports-teams-2025/ Our Chat with Nneka Ogwumike, WNBAPA on the WNBA CBA negotiations: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/welcome-to-the-party/id1835504451?i=1000741514338 How to Support the Women’s Deaflympics Team: https://usdeafsoccer.com/get-involved/ https://www.facebook.com/USADeafSoccerWnt/ https://www.instagram.com/usdeaf_wnt/?hl=en Thank you to our sponsors: -Ally’s got you covered.
