Happy Birthday Swan Dive! This episode was recorded on July 22nd which is exactly one year after the very first episode of the podcast was released. We talk about it a little in the podcast, but again just want to thank everyone who has listened, been a guest, helped us out, asked questions, given feedback, etc. over the last year. We appreciate all the support and can't wait to see what this next year brings.
As for this week's episode, Andy and Courtney were joined by Mohamed who not only helped us recap the 2-1 loss to the Spirit over the weekend, but gave us some really great information about the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) which starts next week. The Legacy announced this week that our very own Aissata has been called up for Mali for the tournament which had a lot of people asking "what exactly is WAFCON?" We hope this helps!
We were also joined once again by Danielle, Vice President of KC Blue Crew to preview Saturday's rematch against the KC Current. We talked a little about how the Current's season has gone since we last talked and what this matchup might look like for both teams with Aissata and Temwa Chawinga being away for WAFCON (also if this is how you are finding out that both those players won't be at the game Saturday, sorry, but at least you know now and not Saturday?) Of course, as always we wrapped up with our prediction game. Here is a reminder of the standings:
Standings After Spirit Match
- Courtney: 12 points
- Opposition: 11 points
- Andy: 7 points
- Legacy guest: 3 points
Predictions for KC Match
- Andy: 0-0 draw
- Courtney: 1-1 draw (for science!)
- Mohamed: 3-1 Legacy
- Danielle: 2-2 draw
