Summary
Meg Linehan returns to the show to discuss Angel City, the newest expansion team in NWSL. How many people are involved, where will the team play, and how quickly will Alex Morgan be on the roster (not as quickly as you might think, if Meg's reasoning is correct).
After that, there's a look back at the Challenge Cup quarterfinals before a look ahead to the semifinals, which are happening this Wednesday. Portland v Houston at 12:30 followed much later by Sky Blue v Red Stars at 10.
