Hello, you are listening to Full Time with Meg Linnehan. This is a show about women's soccer on the Athletic Podcast Network, and I am your host, Mag Linahan. Well, it has certainly been a week since the last time I recorded one of these between watching the election results and now the expansion draft. Today, the NWSL trade window opened at 9 a.m. We are recording this week's show on Friday morning.

Steph Young of All for 11 is back to break down the results of the draft. What made sense and

what did not on today's show. I will be back to my normal Thursday schedule next week.

I'm going to forego the usual news rundown in its usual form just because obviously the big news

is the expansion draft.

The results are all online, whether that's in last night's Q&A on the athletic site,

at the NWSL site, any number of places you can find the full list.

One thing that I did want to point out to you before I get to the rest of the show, though,

is if there's one game that you're going to watch this weekend,

it should be the Manchester Derby for the Women's Super League, Manchester United,

with Kristen Press and Tobin Heath.

You will hear a lot about them in this show against Rose Lavelle and Sam U.S.

from Manchester City.

The game is live on NBC Sports tomorrow morning.

That's 7.30 a.m. Eastern Time on NBC Sports, but should be a good one.

Obviously, a lot of storylines on this, but the double Americans on both side obviously

make it pretty interesting on the side of the pond.

All right.

So Steph Young of All for 11 is back.

We are going to attempt to make sense of this expansion draft,

which in some ways try to defy making sense.

But you know what?
