Hello, hello everybody and welcome to The Total Soccer Show.

I'm Taylor Rockwell, and today we have an NWSL roundup with Kim McCauley of the All for

11 blog over at SB Nation.

Kim, welcome back.

Thanks for being here, and apologies for calling in a blog.

I panicked in the moment.

It is not a blog, and I hate when people call things blogs.

I don't mind it. All right, all right. Maybe that's just my own projection from being told consistently that, oh, you still do that blog thing? It's like, sure, that's the easiest way to go with it. You know, I've, I mean, what does the, what does the B and SP Nation stand for? Right? I can't exactly get mad about people calling in a blog. Well, as I said, you're here to talk at WSL. We're going to talk actual games in a moment. But first, we now have Twitter accounts for, I believe I've got the number down. We've got the playground in the background. We've got a Twitter account for hydration breaks, for the sun glare, for the sunset,

That seems very likely.

Um, I wanted to focus on the turf burn one for a moment because of all of them,

that is the one that feels like it could actually motivate some change and make people

maybe pay attention a little bit because turf is pretty destructive. I think I slid on a

turf field like three and a half months ago and it still has not healed all the way. So watching, say, Lindsay Horan slide like four different times in one game, I have to feel a little bit there. Do you have an idea of like, why are they playing these games on turf? Is it just the facility and that's what they have? Or like, did they look at other areas as far as you understand? Or was it always going to be turf? I think this is just the, this is just the facility that was available.

It was like, this is the place to play that has good training fields and hotel and like

everything, you know, everything that they need in close proximity and they can, like, have a

bubble, but also, uh, you know, have everything the players need. Uh, this was probably the best
