For this episode, someone who isn&#8217;t Matt Pollard gives the usual Last Word Soccer Club Radio introduction. In this NWSL-only show, Rachael Kriger hosts and is joined by Trebor Tracy to discuss all things around the league ahead of the Expansion Draft and the Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The two begin by discussing recent trades throughout the league, giving their takes on two of the bigger trades. Trebor discusses and breaks down Angel City FC&#8217;s trade for Sarah Gorden and Julie Ertz. Rachael takes on Kailen Sheridan going to San Diego and Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris taking up shop at Gotham.<\/p>\n<h1>Last Word SC Radio: NWSL Trades, Expansion, Draft &amp; more<\/h1>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);\" title=\"Last Word SC Radio: NWSL Trades, Expansion Draft, and More!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?i=davbu-115871b-pb&amp;from=pb6admin&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;rtl=0&amp;fonts=Arial&amp;skin=1&amp;font-color=&amp;btn-skin=7\" width=\"100%\" height=\"150\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then, the two dive into Expansion Draft discussion. Rachael and Trebor both agree Megan Oyster will go, but then debate between if Angel City and San Diego will take either Canadian international Sophie Schmidt or Veronica Latsko. Finally, the show ends with discussion on recent head coaching hires, Alex Morgan making a move to San Diego and the Washington Spirit ownership debacle.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trebor and Rachael discuss the new San Diego crest&#8230; which dropped during recording! Rachael loves it, and demands a pink kit in the NWSL, to which Trebor agrees.
