This week on Last Word SC Radio, Matt and Rachael sit down (virtually) to talk. We discuss the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup getting cancelled for 2020. The MLS regular season is back and in full swing. We talk the highlights from last week.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Rachael gives some key NWSL updates. That spurs a conversation about the exodus of NWSL\/USWNT stars to women&#8217;s clubs in Europe with more NWSL updates.<\/p>\n<h2>LWSC Radio: MLS is Back Back, NWSL Updated<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" title=\"LWSC Radio: MLS is Back Back, NWSL Updated\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/evimf-e89f00?from=pb6admin&amp;download=1&amp;version=1&amp;auto=0&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;rtl=0&amp;fonts=Helvetica&amp;skin=1&amp;pfauth=&amp;btn-skin=107\" width=\"100%\" height=\"122\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/tag\/last-word-sc-radio\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word SC Radio<\/a> is a part of Last Word on Sports Media and an affiliate member of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bgn.fm\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beautiful Game Network<\/a>.
