| 0:36.1 | really only got half the puzzle. |
| 0:42.8 | As of me recording this very part right now, the trade window has just closed, and now we are waiting, which is an NWSL tradition. Plus, we've got U.S. Women's National Team in Australia, |

| 1:39.6 | of time, but if you do need to catch up before this discussion with Steph, we have been running a live blog for the trade window at the athletic, |
