Hello, welcome to full time with Meg Lynn Hand. You are listening to a podcast all about women's soccer on the Athletic Podcast Network. I am Meg, your host. I'm a staff writer at The Athletic, covering the NWSL and the U.S. Women's National Team. Thank you for being patient with this episode dropping on Friday instead of our usual Thursday release. And of course, this is because the U.S. Women's National Team won the sixth version of the She Belues Cup on Wednesday night. This is the first time

the national team has actually won that title in back-to-back years. Brazil finished second,

Canada, third, and Argentina fourth. And on today's show, Julia Poe of the Orlando Sentinel

is here to discuss the tournament, which is especially great

as she was one of only a few reporters actually at Exploria Stadium for all of the games.

And of course, before we get to our news recap this episode, a quick reminder, you can

City FC announced that DoorDash is a new sponsor for the team as their front of kit sponsor.

Now here's the other major tidbit about

that from their release. It said that Angel City's kits would be revealed in summer 2021,

along with the team's colors and crest, plus, of course, all of the merch. That's very obligatory

for the team from Los Angeles. but that is kind of the first

timing that we have seen in terms of when we can expect the full look for Angel City.

All right.

More in Kit News, the thorns added TikTok as a sleeve sponsor, which also goes for the timbers

as well.

First of all, this is the thing that actually finally got me to sign up for TikTok because in that

release was the news that Crystal Dunn will be a creator and influencer on the platform for the team.

And yeah, sign me up. I'm ready for the chicken TikToks, obviously. Also notable on this one,

Portland will be wearing the same kits in 2021 as they did for the Challenge Cup and fall series.
