The Swan Dive: A BLFC Fan Show

Well Legacy fans, it was another tough, but close loss in the most recent match and unfortunately (but not really because we love making the podcast), its our job to talk about it. Joining Andy and Courtney this week is first time guest Brendan. Hang out with the Swan Dive crew as we discuss our newest Boston Legacy signing Sam Angel as well as recap the most recent match against the San Diego Wave. With the international break coming up there's no preview but we do have a casual pre-break vibe check on how everyone is feeling about the season so far.Also it was a sad week for Courtney as far as predictions go as she was the only person not to score a point. Our opposing guests are still out to a commanding lead, but third seat guest finally got a point thanks to Liz predicting a Wave win last week.Results After Week 4Opposing Guest: 8 pointsAndy: 2 pointsCourtney: 1 pointGuest: 1 pointAs always, we want to hear from you. Do you have suggestions on what we should do during the international break? Do you want to be a guest on a future episode? Do you have any general feedback or suggestions for us? Please let us know!

Legacy fans, history occurred at Gillette when the Aissata scored the first ever goal in Boston Legacy history. Yes, the team still lost, but the first goal finally happened! This week we had a full Swan Dive crew podcast as Andy and Courtney are joined by Swan Dive's Social Media Manager (and Andy's wife) Liz to discuss the match against Utah Royals. We saw quite a few lineup changes, some very questionable officiating and most importantly, the Legacy's first goal! We cover all those things and more and then are joined by Wave fan/content creator Alyssa to preview the upcoming match against San Diego on Friday.Just a reminder how we are all doing on the prediction game (spoiler, the Swan Dive team could be doing better).Results Through Week 3Andy: 1 pointCourtney: 1 pointGuest: 0Opposing Guest: 7As you can see, the opposing guests are really crushing these predictions. The rest of us, not so much, but there is alway this week! Without further adoWeek 4 PredictionsAndy: 2-1 WaveCourtney: 2-2 drawLiz: 3-1 WaveAlyssa: 3-1 WaveLet's hope the Legacy can prove at least most of us wrong.As always you can reach us at BLFCSwanDive on Bluesky and Instagram and via email at blfcswandive@gmail.com.

From game-day vibes to thoughts on the actual soccer portion of the day, the team covers it all (even NKOTB, obviously).We also have our first game prediction results: Courtney and Andy guessed Gotham correctly as the winners so each have 1 point, our third seat guests currently have 0 points, and, perhaps surprising to no one, our opposing guest Gary from Soccer Over Gotham got the whole result correct, giving the opposing guest seat a whopping 3 points.We also look ahead to this weekend's match against the Houston Dash and were happy to be joined by Dani and OSG from Foxtrot Media, a group covering all things Houston Dynamo and Dash. They gave us some insights on this year's Dash team and thoughts on Boston before we all focused on the match.And of course, we have this week's predictions:Week 2 PredictionsAndy: 0-0 drawCourtney: 1-1 drawRodrigo: 2-1 LegacyDani: 2-1 DashOSG: 2-1 DashCheck back in next week to see how we did.

Legacy fans, are you ready?! We are just days away from the very first Boston Legacy FC match and its the home opener as well. We are so excited to see the team take the field for the first time and to hopefully meet some of you Swan Dive listeners as well.On that note, we bring you our very first NWSL match preview! This week Andy and Courtney are joined by first time Swan Dive guest Brooks, as well as Soccer Over Gotham podcast host and producer Gary Gibson to briefly chat about the Legacy away kits and kit launch party but then all focus turns to Gotham vs Boston for match week 1. We take a look at this year's Gotham team, Gary provides some of his thoughts on the Legacy as a non-supporter and the team gives their thoughts on what the very first Boston Legacy match (against the defending champions, no less) might bring. We also have some exciting podcast news to share.We also have some predictions. Here at the Swan Dive, we are making a little game out of match predictions where points are assigned based on how correct and how incorrect we are. Andy and Courtney will make predictions before every match and track them throughout the season. We will also ask our guests to make predictions and have an overall guest score at the end of the season as well.Week 1 Predictions:Andy: 4-2 GothamCourtney: 2-1 GothamBrooks: 2-2 drawGary: 1-0 GothamDon't get us wrong, the three Legacy fans would LOVE for them to win, of course, but its the first game and we are trying to be as objective as possibleAs always, we want to hear from you.

In a special sort of bonus episode of The Swan Dive, Andy and Courtney do something they never have done before on the show; go guest-less and just talk amongst themselves. When you see the topic of this episode, you will understand why. The Swan Dive spends a lot of time discussing the Boston Legacy, which it should, its a BLFC fan show (its in the title of the podcast!) but we realized for some; this team may be the entry point for some people as far as the NWSL goes. So, on this midweek episode, join Andy and Courtney as they take a little tour around the rest of the league. Where did the other teams finish last year? Were there any notable off season moves? Where do we expect the team to place this year (and in some cases, how do we expect the Legacy to compete with these teams)?Hold on to your hats because this is the last episode before we kick off our regularly scheduled programming, starting with a preview of the Legacy's very first game next weekend against Gotham FC.We. cannot state this enough, we want to hear. from you! As always, you can find us at blfcswandive@gmail.com and blfcswandive on bluesky and instagram. For more on the Boston Legacy, check out our friends at The Blazing Musket!

We are back after what is hopefully our last extended break for awhile. Its a short one this week, but join Andy, Courtney and this week's guest Dave as we discuss the future format and schedule for the show, the 2026 team schedule, the Legacy's first ever kit and recent signing Josefine Hasbo. We also asked Dave to give some thoughts ahead of the season opener in a few weeks (Courtney and Andy's are forthcoming in another episode).We are also calling on you the fans, to get in touch with us and get involved! Andy posed some questions for you the listeners and we hope you'll get in touch with us and share your thoughts. We are also looking for people to join us throughout the season. Its okay if you arent a soccer or Legacy expert, we just want to hear your thoughts!You can reach out to us at blfcswandive@gmail.com and at BLFCSwanDive on Bluesky and Instagram.
