| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome back to full time with Meg Linnehan. You're listening to a show all about women's soccer on the |
| 0:21.3 | Athletic Podcast Network. And Meg, your host, and I'm a national staff writer at the athletic |
| 0:25.7 | covering the NWSL and the U.S. Women's National Team. Now, week two of the NWS.L regular season is |
| 0:31.2 | complete and, well, the table has been an adventure so far with racing Louisville earning their |
| 0:36.2 | first dub of 2021, thanks to a goal and an assist from Amina Echich, who happens to be the guest on this week's podcast. |
| 0:44.6 | Plus, I've got more on the Olivia Moultry lawsuit and the temporary restraining order granted this week and the U.S. Women's National Team roster for the summer series, as well as the just-announced |
| 0:54.4 | send-off series in July. Before we get started, though, as always, your reminder that you can |

| 1:29.0 | let's start with some of the NWL results from the last weekend and some of the discussion |
| 1:32.9 | around the results of these games. Fortunately, Amina Eckich is here to walk us through |
| 1:37.4 | the Louisville game, so let's focus on some of the post-game reaction from the Orlando Pride's |
| 1:42.2 | big two-one win over the courage and then the Cascadio |
| 1:45.2 | rivalry heating back up. So, Sydney LaRue and Alex Morgan both scored in that Pride win and |
| 1:51.7 | after the match, Courage head coach Paul Riley said, quote, they, the Pride, have changed their |
| 1:57.8 | philosophy completely from two years ago when they were the artists and trying |
| 2:01.1 | to play out of the back all the time, but they're certainly not that. They're very direct. |
| 2:05.1 | They don't play any football whatsoever. Spicy, but we also know that Orlando is pretty good |
| 2:10.8 | at social media, and they were very unafraid to essentially point to the scoreboard. That is also |
