For the majority of clubs, we are 35 percent of the way through the NWSL season, and Dino and Grant have some thoughts about what we might see the rest of the way.

We started with the four favorites to win the NWSL Shield and discussed a relevant storyline related to each club:

Orlando Pride: Depth, flexibility, BANDA

Washington Spirit: Croix Bethune is very, very good

Portland Thorns FC: Sophia Smith playing for her second-straight Golden Boot and third-straight MVP

Kansas City Current: Chawinga + depth = Success! (Plus, the amazing contribution of African-born players in the NWSL)

After that, we talked a little about the rest of the teams in the league -- dedicating varying amounts of time to each.

Finally, we closed out with a brief (very brief, like, 3-4-minute) discussion about Championship Saturday in the WSL. Chelsea can lock up its fifth-consecutive league title in Emma Hayes' final match with the club with a win over Manchester United; but Manchester City is lurking if Chelsea falters.
