Summary
With the US Women's National Team through to the semifinals of the Women's World Cup, let's talk about soccer! This is a super fun time to jump into enjoying the sport as we cheer for our women as they make a run at repeating their 2015 World Cup Championship!
Today's guest- Lauren Holiday- was a major part of that team in 2015 and a major part of the history of women's soccer in the USA. She tells us her story today and gets us ready for the rest of the World Cup tournament. I think you're going to love her- an incredible story of highs and lows and what nearness to God looked like in all of it. (And tons of soccer talk. YES AND AMEN.)

| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome to another episode of that sounds fun. I'm your host Annie F. Down. |
| 0:08.4 | So happy to be here with you today. Happy July. Hey, the music in the background. We're |
| 0:12.3 | going to keep on keeping on for a couple more weeks with our good friend, Mr. Ryan O'Neal, |
| 0:16.5 | also known as Sleeping at Last. This is the Anyagram 7 song from his Anyagram series. |
| 0:22.2 | And we just all loved any summer 2019 so much we don't want it to end. So we're going |
| 0:26.6 | to let the music keep going. Make sure you check out his stuff when you get a chance. |
| 0:30.6 | And listen, if you've been around the show for a while, you know I've got two big goals. |
| 0:34.6 | I want you to love the Anyagram and I want you to love International Soccer. And currently |

| 0:45.6 | dying for us to talk about it. A few years ago, my friend Jeremy Courtney, who you guys |
| 0:50.2 | know he's been on the show, he introduced me to Lauren Holiday. Lauren Holiday didn't |

| 1:15.8 | the Women's World Cup. Now full disclosure, we are recording this at the end of June before |
| 1:22.7 | we know how the US has done against France. And so just know that I know that we don't |
| 1:32.5 | go into the US France game because this was recorded before that. So I don't know what |
| 1:37.4 | happened there. I know it was exciting, but I'm getting ready to watch it myself. So the |
| 1:42.2 | big thing you should know is that the final game is next Sunday, July 7th, which is also |
| 1:47.4 | my birthday, which we also have a special podcast episode that day. So make sure you are |
