Hello, Meg here, and you're listening to Full Time with Meg Linahan, a show all about women's soccer on the Athletic Podcast Network.

It is Wednesday, and we are one day away from Thursday's bronze medal match between the United States and Australia and the gold medal match between Sweden and Canada.

Reminder, if you are here in the United States, you'll be watching both of those games on USA Network.

USA versus Australia,

again, 4 a.m. Eastern, Sweden versus Canada, 10 p.m. Eastern, there has been a request to actually move the game because of the conditions with the heat. So stay tuned on that front. I'm sure

there will be an update on Twitter if that request from Sweden and Canada is actually successful.

Anyway, co-worker and fellow dog so tattoo hever, Jeff Reuter is here to help me on our final match day minus one episode of our Olympics coverage.

Yes, we are coming to the end of this long, long journey. Before we get into it,

subscribe to the athletic for all of our women's soccer coverage and beyond. There's always a deal

for you at theathletic.com slash full time. Hello, Jeff. I'm Meg. All right, so it's Wednesday.

I got to wake up at 3 o'clock, well, 255 a.m.

to be on the press conference for the US Women's National Team

ahead of the bronze medal match.

Steph, our fellow coworker, woke up,

where I think just actually stayed awake

because Australia was at 1.15 a.m.

US was at 3 a.m.

And they were actually 15 minutes late.

So which NWSL team is going to say, you know what?

This is the new normal.

Our press conferences are at 3 a.m.

Please.
