We are back for this week's second episode! Sort of seems like we just did this doesn't it? (spoiler alert, we did). Totally worth it though, because we get to celebrate another Legacy win! Unbeaten in four games and not in last place anymore.

Andy and Courtney were joined for this episode by Dave, who is really extending his lead in the "most Swan Dive appearances" race. We had a lot to talk about this week; lineup changes, odd officiating, subs, PKs x2, the return of Nicki Hernandez and more! It's always a fun time when we get to talk about a Legacy win.

Unfortunately, we did not have an opposition guest to talk about Bay FC, but that doersn't mean we didnt talk about the team. Courtney, as the resident NWSL history nerd, pulled together some information on the team so we were able to do a little preview for the upcoming match Friday. Don't worry, the prediction game lives on, Andy utilized a random number generator to come up with an opposition prediction for this one, No one got any points from the Pride game.

Standing After Game 9

• Opposition: 9 points
• Courtney: 4 points
• Andy: 3 points
• Guest: 2 points

Predictions for Game 10

• Andy: 2-0 Bay
• Courtney: 1-1 draw
• Dave: 2-0 Legacy
• Opposition: 2-1 Bay

That wraps up a VERY busy week of soccer and a very busy week of Swan Dive. Appreciate everyone listening to us talk even more than usual this week. Thanks Dave for joining us again.

Happy 20th episode! Hard to believe we have already done so many of these. Thanks to everyone who has been with us thus far. Twenty down, many, many more to go. Even better, we get to celebrate 20 episodes by talking about a big draw against reigning champions Gotham FC. In the first of two episodes scheduled for this week, Andy and Courtney are joined by returning guest Cathy to recap the big road point from the weekend.

After that we are joined by Luis from Loud & Proud Orlando Podcast to preview the midweek game vs Orlando Pride. Luis gives us a ton of great information on the Pride over the years, how they are looking this year and what we can all look forward to for this week's match. As always, the podcast ends with our prediction segment. First, a review of the standings after Saturday's game vs Gotham (spoiler alert: Courtney finally guessed it correctly last game, and we are sort of all over the place this week).

Results After 8 Games

• Opposition Guest: 9 points
• Courtney: 4 points
• Andy: 3 points
• Guest: 2 points

Predictions for Game 9

• Andy: 2-2 draw
• Courtney 1-1 draw
• Cathy - 3-1 Pride
• Luis: 1-0 Pride

General consensus in these predictions: We are a little afraid of what Barbara Banda could potentially do on an offensive front.

Check out the episode for all the details! As always you can reach us @blfcswandive on Bluesky and Instagram and at BLFCSwanDive@gmail.com. Thank you to Cathy and Luis for joining us. Listen to us and then head on over to Loud & Proud Orlando where Andy joined Luis and the rest of the team in their Orlando/Legacy preview available wherever you get your podcasts.

We got three points! After a great mid week draw against the Courage, the Legacy picked up all three points against Denver Summit in somewhat dramatic fashion (hello two goals basically in stoppage time?) We were so pumped to record this episode. Andy and Courtney are joined by returning guest and self described Swan Dive Super Fan Brooks to recap the Legacy's big win. We then were joined once again by Gary from the Soccer Over Gotham podcast for the Gotham preview. Gary shares his thoughts on the season so far for Gotham and things to watch heading into this weekend's rematch. As always, we rounded out the show with our predictions for the match. Here's a reminder of the standings after Game 7 (spoiler alert, not looking great for. Courtney but it's okay, the Legacy won so all is well).

Results after 7 Games

• Opposition guest: 9 points
• Andy: 3 points
• Legacy guest: 2 points
• Courtney: 1 point

Predictions for Game 8

• Andy: 2-1 Gotham
• Courtney: 1-1 draw
• Brooks: 1-0 Gotham
• Gary: 2-0 Gotham

Well, one of these things is not like the other. Will Courtney be shut out again? Will Gary get it dead on as he did last time? Only time will tell.

As always, we want to hear from you! Do you have questions, comments, feedback, etc? Do you want to be a guest on the show? Let us know @blfcswandive on bluesky and Instagram and at blfcswandive@gmail.com. Making the trip down to NJ on Saturday? Andy and Courtney will be there so say hello if you see us!
