0:00.0	Hello. Hello, welcome back to full-time with Megalenehan. You are listening to a show all
0:20.5	about women's soccer on the Athletic Podcast Network. I'm Meg, your host, and I'm a national staff writer at the athletic covering the NWSL and the U.S. Women's National Team.
0:30.5	We are into the NWSL regular season now, and guess what? Portland is still really good at soccer. But Barcelona are also
0:39.0	Champions League winners and the Broncos upset FSU in the NCAA College Cup final. But today,
0:44.7	we're actually going in a slightly different direction as my coworker from the athletic Jeff Ruder
0:48.6	is here because I also just really wanted to talk to him about everything that has gone down
0:53.5	in Columbus over the past week or so with the MLS clubs rebrand and then their walkback of that rebrand and figure out what lessons are there for the NWSL and more importantly talk about our relationship with history in American soccer.
1:09.9	So yes, we will be talking about men's soccer, but I promise it will all make sense to you
1:14.7	once we get there.
1:16.3	But before we get started, as always, your reminder that you can directly support this
1:20.6	podcast and all of our women's soccer coverage at The Athletic with your subscription.
1:25.3	And best of all, with the start of the end of you so regular season,
1:28.4	plus, you know, the NBA and NHL playoffs and all of those other normal things happening right now,
1:33.1	you can subscribe for just $1 a month. Now, I think most of you who listen to this show on a even
1:40.1	semi-regular basis know where I stand on your subscriptions proving the value of women's soccer
1:45.9	coverage. And we do have something very good brewing on our side of things here at the Athletic.
1:50.2	I'll be able to share that relatively soon. So stay tuned. But in the meantime, make sure you get in on this
1:57.0	dollar a month deal. If you need to set up a new subscription, you can do that by going to the athletic.com slash full time. Again, you're showing your support for the podcast, for the coverage,
2:07.9	and plus you get all of the other benefits of the athletic to boot. That is theathletic.com
2:13.5	slash full time. All right. So the good news is that the pace of news did actually slow down a bit,
2:21.8	at least compared to last week, but still plenty of things are happening. So here's what you need to
2:26.1	know. Let's start with Champions League as Barcelona just absolutely put on a show against Chelsea
