Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

Meg Linehan of The Athletic is back on the show to discuss this weekend's NWSL Challenge Cup Final, as well as her thoughts on some of the best offseason moves in the league. Plus, which teams are looking strong (or as strong as ever) and which teams still have some work to do! There's also Taylor attempting to get Meg to make Olympic roster predictions, with ends on a more useful topic of HOW Vlatko might be approaching assembling his roster. And, up front, Meg gets into the challenges of covering women's soccer in the US and the ways in which both the intensity and meaningfulness of that coverage could be improved.
