The Swan Dive: A BLFC Fan Show

Well, Legacy fans, the team played in a match against the Seattle Reign last weekend and that's all there really is to say about it. Jokes aside, it was a rough one, but we have a job to do here so Andy, Courtney and Liz got together to give a few thoughts on the team's 2-0 loss against Seattle. The Legacy are headed back to the west coast this weekend to take on the Portland Thorns and we were once again joined by Andy's friend Alex to get their thoughts on the upcoming match. If you recall, last time the Legacy played Portland, the Thorns scored three goals in like 10 minutes so here's to hoping that is part of history that does not repeat itself. Predictions!Standings After Seattle ReignCourtney: 19 pointsOpposition: 17 pointsAndy: 10 pointsLegacy guest: 5 pointsPredictions for Portland MatchAndy: 3-1 PortlandCourtney: 2-2 drawLiz: 2-1 PortlandAlex: 2-1 PortlandWill the opposition guest catch up to Courtney? Will the Legacy seat finally get more points? Will the Legacy pull out a win and shut all our panelists out? Find out more on the next episode!Speaking of next week's episode....There is an international break coming up, no NWSL next weekend so we were thinking of doing another Q and A as part of next week's episode. That would require us having questions to answer so please, send us some! They don't all have to be Legacy or soccer related. You can reach us at BLFCSwanDive on Bluesky and Instagram and at BLFCSwanDive@gmail.com. In addition to questions, we are always looking for guests as well as feedback about the show.The Swan Dive is a proud member of The Blazing Musket podcast network. Check them out!

Well, the Legacy's mini win streak came to an end over the weekend as they suffered a 2-1 loss to Houston on a rainy day in Pawtucket. Andy and Courtney were joined by first time guest Maddi to discuss this hard fought match against the Dash. Then, the team was joined once again by Van from The Cooler Guild podcast (Hi Coop, we missed you!) to preview this week's fixture against the Seattle Reign. Van gave an update on how the Reign's season has gone since the teams last met (as well as an update about the Etsy Witch situation) and we all gave our predictions for the upcoming match.Standings After HoustonCourtney: 19 pointsOpposition: 14 pointsAndy: 9 pointsLegacy Guest: 5 pointsPredictions for ReignAndy: 3-1 SeattleCourtney: 2-2 drawMaddi: 2-1 LegacyVan: 2-0 ReignOne thing is certain, someone is going to get points this week!

Legacy fans, we are coming off a HUGE win against the Spirit this past weekend and we couldnt wait to dive (pun intended) right into it. ICYMI, the Swan Dive team took a little field trip to catch the big game down in DC and it was a great time (check out IG for pics!).Andy and Courtney were joined this week by returning guest Dave (and no I do not know how many episodes this makes but he is still in 1st place). The team broke down the big win and for maybe the first time ever, had almost only positive things to say about what was an outstanding performance by the Legacy. For our Houston Dash preview we were joined by Manny from Bayou City Soccer. Its been six full months since the Legacy last played the Dash and neither lineup really looks the same. Manny shared a little about we can expect as well as some thoughts about the recent departure of both the Dash's head coach and technical director. As always we round this one out with out prediction game.Standings After the SpiritCourtney: 18 pointsOpposition: 14 pointsAndy: 9 pointsLegacy guest: 5 pointsPredictions for Dash MatchAndy: 3-1 LegacyCourtney: 3-2 Dash (note from Courtney: Don't be mad!

Woohoo Swan Dive listeners, the Legacy stopped their string of highly questionable, not great games with a huge 2-1 win against Utah Royals on the road and we were so excited to talk about it. The long weekend got the better of us planning wise so we had no Legacy guest this week so we had a rare Swan Dive moment where Andy and Courtney had a nice little one on one chat about all the action. After that, they were joined by Annie from Hey Spirits to catch up with what has been happening with the Washington Spirit and discuss this weekend's upcoming match. As always we ended with our prediction game (and got Liz to give her a prediction for the Legacy seat). Standing remain unchanged after the Utah match.Standings After UtahCourtney: 18 pointsOpposition: 14 pointsAndy: 9 pointsLegacy Guest: 5 pointsPredictions for Spirit MatchAndy: 2-1 SpiritCourtney: 3-2 SpiritLiz: 3-1 SpiritAnnie: 2-1 SpiritThat's it for this week, thanks to Annie from Hey Spirits for joining us.

Legacy fans, it was another tough one as the team fell 5-2 against Angel City Monday night. While we are going to share our thoughts as always, we also had a bit of fun as we were joined by a special guest in our Legacy fan seat. If you have ever been to a Legacy game, you have heard her voice announcing players and Legacy goals among other fun things. That's right, in our third seat we were joined by Boston Legacy Public Address announcer Ava J! Ava shared a little bit about her background and how she got involved with the Legacy as well as some of the prep that goes into what she does and favorite moments on the mic! As a Legacy fan herself, she gave her thoughts on the recent Legacy match and the upcoming fixture against the Utah Royals as well.Also joining us for the Utah Royals preview was Sean from the Royal Riot podcast (if you happen to listen to this week's Royal Riot podcast, you might hear some familiar voices)! Sean filled us in on everything Utah related since we last chatted all the way back before the Legacy's third ever match and gave us his thoughts on how the upcoming match might play out. As always, we ended with predictions.Standings After Angel CityCourtney: 18 pointsOpposition: 14 pointsAndy: 9 pointsLegacy guest: 5 pointsPredictions for UtahAndy: 4-2 UtahCourtney: 3-2 UtahAva: 3-3 drawSean: 4-1 UtahBig thanks to Ava for joining us and Sean for joining us again.

It's that time again, The Swan Dive team is back to talk all things Boston Legacy. Andy and Courtney are joined by second time guest Jack to discuss last week's unfortunate and disappointing loss to the North Carolina Courage. The Legacy also gave us some news to discuss this week with the acquisition of midfielder Sarah Schupansky from Gotham FC (which I think technically happened last week but its fine) as well as some news on White Stadium and where exactly the Legacy will be playing in 2027.Then, on another episode of "Courtney makes her friends come on the podcast" we were joined by Angel City fan Karen to finally meet our last new opponent of the season. Karen shared some great info about Angel City; the team and the fans, and as always we rounded out the episode with our predictions. A reminder of the standings after last week:Standings After NCCourtney: 18 pointsOpposition: 13 points Andy: 8 pointsLegacy Guest: 4 pointsPredictions for Angel CityAndy: 2-1 Angel CityCourtney: 2-1 LegacyJack: 1-0 Angel CityKaren: 2-1 Angel CityTough, but understandable predictions for the Legacy but hopefully 3/4 of them are wrong.

Well, Legacy fans, I think we can agree that last match against Racing Louisville was...suboptimal, to put it gently. We wanted to talk about this just about as much as you probably want to listen to us talk about it, but alas, that is what we are here for. We did do something different this week. Instead of a full blown recap, we did an abridged version: lineup and personnel, overall takeaways and opinions and then we moved on. We previewed this weekend's match against the Courage and with some of the time left from not talking about the Louisville game in detail, we did a fun little Q and A with questions submitted by you all. But first, predictions!Standings After LouisvilleCourtney: 15 pointsOpposition: 13 pointsAndy: 7 pointsLegacy guest: 4 pointsPredictions for Courage GameAndy: 3-2 CourageCourtney: 2-1 CourageLiz: 2-2Opposition (aka our friend RNG): 0-0Thanks for listening as always; we hope you enjoyed the change in format this week.

Forget 1-1 for science, 1-1 for a big result in a tough away fixture! This week Liz put her guest hat back on and joined Andy and Courtney to review the Legacy's draw against the Denver Summit. With the draw, the Legacy officially have won The Battle of Expansion Clubs for this season with one win and one draw. We were then joined by Thorns fan (and Andy's friend) Alex to preview the upcoming home fixture against the Portland Thorns (remaining home game 1 of 4....sad). Here are the standings for the prediction game ahead of this week's match:Standings After Summit MatchCourtney: 15 pointsOpposition: 11 pointsAndy: 7 pointsLegacy Guest: 4 pointsPredictions for Thorns MatchAndy: 2-1 LegacyCourtney: 1-1 (for science!)Liz: 2-1 LegacyAlex: 3-1 ThornsThat was it for this week, Thanks Alex for joining us to talk all things Portland Thorns.
