Summary
Jordan Angeli returns to the show to take a deep-dive look at the USWNT prior to the start of their Olympic campaign. How will they play, who will start, who could have the biggest impact off the bench, and much much more. We also get into terminology and knee surgeries, which isn't quite as painful as it sounds.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello and welcome everybody to The Total Soccer Show. |
| 0:22.6 | My name is Taylor Rockwell with me today to preview the U.S. women's national team ahead of their first game at the Olympics is Jordan Angelide. |
| 0:29.3 | Jordan, good to have you back. |
| 0:31.0 | Yeah, thanks for having me, Taylor. |
| 0:32.6 | Yeah, this will be fun. |
| 0:34.8 | A lot to talk about. |
| 0:36.4 | I think you're in the same sort of position that we've been in that I'm in right now of like there have been so many tournaments, so many different competitions going on that it's then like, oh, the Olympics are here. Better get ready for that. Like my notes for when the gold cup started were basically just like, oh, and now the gold cup begins. It was that quick of a transition. Do you feel, like, honestly, do you feel like you are ready for the Olympics to begin? |
| 0:56.8 | Because I don't think I am. |
| 0:58.1 | No. |
| 0:58.3 | I don't think I'm in that sort of like a big tournament to starting mode quite yet. No, and that's the thing because the Olympics, like, it starts and then it ends. It's so quick. So if I'm not ready now, I have, what, a few hours to get ready? |
| 0:55.2 | I think it's weird, too, because |

| 1:25.9 | wait, it is happening. Are we calling this the olympics like the 20 20 euros which every time i was like why don't we just change |
| 1:33.3 | it um yeah so it's right there with you yeah that was strange um but yeah here we are and um |
| 1:40.9 | it's going to happen which is i think very exciting in the grand scheme of things that these players get to compete because that's the dream, right? |
| 1:49.5 | Gosh, I just can only imagine competing for your country in Olympics. |
| 1:54.2 | So I'm happy they have this opportunity. |
| 1:56.7 | And I want to get to the squad and sort of our expectations for it in a second. |
| 2:00.2 | But you mentioned that it was supposed to happen last year. |
| 2:03.2 | And I think that also has created, at least for me, a strange confusion around this team. |
| 2:07.7 | Because I think if it happens last summer, it would have been the send-off tournament for a lot of the big names. |
