Grant is joined by Julie Uhrman (at 31:13), the president and founder of the Los Angeles NWSL expansion team announced this week. Uhrman explains the origin story of the new LA team, which had more than 30 owners, including A-list Hollywood actors, tech entrepreneurs and many former USWNT legends; lays out the tasks she plans to accomplish soon (including team name, colors and badge); describes the club's social mission and capital infusion; and provides other details about what comes next for the NWSL's newest team.
Before that, Grant breaks down the soccer news with Chris Wittyngham of the Chelsea Mike'd Up Podcast, including Liverpool's 5-3 win over Chelsea (featuring Christian Pulisic's virtuoso sub performance), Man United's 1-1 tie against West Ham, the stakes for Sunday's final day of the Premier League, Atlanta's failure in the MLS tournament and Houston making the NWSL final.
