0:00.0	Hello. Hello, welcome back to full-time with Meg Linahan. You are listening to a show all 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.
0:30.3	Portland Thorns FC have their first trophy of 2021 out of a possible four and defender. Kelly Hubley is here to talk about all things Portland
0:39.0	Challenge Cup the rest of the year, maybe that time that we turned a championship media day
0:44.2	into some pickup basketball. You never know. And hey, the NWSL regular season kicks off this
0:49.7	weekend and I'm planning on heading out to Red Bull Arena for the first time this spring and summer,
0:55.2	plus the Champions League final between Chelsea and Barcelona is set for Sunday.

1:44.5	podcast is recorded and done, and because apparently Wednesday, May 12th is release all of the
1:49.6	NWSL news every day. Let's start with some coaching news on both sides of the Atlantic. So first,
1:56.6	Casey Sonny stepped down from Manchester United on short notice, and then I reported that she
2:01.2	has been linked to the head coaching gig at the 2022 NWSL expansion team expected to move to San
2:06.9	Diego with Jill Ellis leading the hire. A source said that these talks are in the final stages.
2:12.5	By the afternoon, sources had also confirmed that Mark Parsons is planning to take the Netherlands
2:17.3	coaching job with the team informed on Wednesday morning. Nothing is signed yet. He's
2:21.9	definitely staying through the 2021 season on the Thorns. Again, waiting on final announcement
