On this week's podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan answer an array of listener questions. Those brilliant queries ranged from how to fix the USA midfield to whether the NWSL's elite teams will stay on top in 2025 and even what's your favorite charcuterie cheese.
In addition to opening up the mailbag, Tamerra and Meg also take a moment to pay tribute to U.S. women's national team legend Becky Sauerbrunn, who announced her retirement from soccer this week.
The duo also breaks down the reports that Denver will become the 16th NWSL expansion club and join the league in 2026 while also sharing their feelings on the women's EURO 2025 draw.

This week on Full Time, Meg Linehan is joined by The Athletic's Barcelona-based Spanish soccer writer Laia Cervello to discuss the state of the country's women's national team.
On November 1, Netflix released a documentary titled 'It's All Over: The Kiss That Changed Spanish Football' about Spain's 2023 World Cup triumph and the aftermath that brought the federation into disrepute.
But, 16 months later, the Full Time podcast wonders, has Spanish football really changed all that much?
Cervello sheds light on how new head coach Montse Tomé is perceived, what sort of investment (or lack thereof) is happening in Liga F, as well as breaking down the context behind some of the key scenes from the Netflix documentary.
PLUS: It has been a very busy week in the NWSL, with stadium issues escalating in Boston and end-of-season roster retention lists due at the league HQ. So, with Tamerra Griffin away on holiday, producer Theo Lloyd-Hughes hops on the show to unpack all the latest news with Meg.

Which players stood out, and which struggled? How did the home fans receive Emma Hayes on her return to Wembley Stadium? Do the Lionesses view the USWNT as their biggest rival? Will the American midfield ever get fixed?
PLUS: Tamerra and Meg discuss the failure of the NWSL to protect Barbra Banda amid racist and transphobic attacks and bad-faith media in women's sports needs to be called out.

On a very special final podcast of the NWSL season, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan react to the Orlando Pride winning the 2024 Championship live from CPKC Stadium in Kansas City.
How did Barbra Banda deliver the match's championship-winning moment? Should the referee have intervened more? Were the defeated Washington Spirit unlucky not to find a goal in the second half? Was Trinity Rodman fit enough to go 90 minutes? What does this trophy mean to the legendary Marta?

On one of the most jam-packed Full Time podcasts ever, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan unpack the team name launch of the Boston-based BOS Nation FC, the NWSL's 15th expansion club.
What was behind the now redacted 'Too Many Balls' marketing campaign? Who are the owners trying to appeal to? How will Boston look to make amends after hurting its fanbase, and current players in the league, during a tumultuous 48 hours?
Adding an on-the-ground perspective, Steph Yang joined the podcast fresh from attending the BOS Nation launch event, where she spoke to the Boston Unity Soccer Partners ownership group as well as local fan groups.
Later on, it was time to give Temwa Chawinga her flowers. Tamerra spoke with the record-breaking woman of the moment and fellow KC Current teammate Mwanalima Jereko. Last week, Chawinga scored her 19th goal of the 2024 season, breaking Sam Kerr's record of 18 in a single NWSL season.
The two African-born players talked about their chosen family sisterhood as teammates, their favorite foods that African fans bring for them after matches, the secrets behind their joyous goal celebrations, and what the real Chawinga is like off the pitch.
Plus, San Diego Wave and the NWSL are being sued by five former Wave employees, and Merritt Mathias announced her retirement.

The unbeaten Orlando Pride has just lifted the 2024 NWSL Shield. But their history, on the pitch, in this league is one filled with many more downs than ups.
This week on Full Time, Meg Linehan and Steph Yang trace the Pride's journey from an awkward expansion club, to now sitting at the top of the standings at the end of an unprecedented 2024 season.
To help answer the question of how Orlando achieved this transformation, general manager Haley Carter joined the show to take us inside the Pride's emergence since her arrival in January 2023.
What kind of soccer club did Carter see when she walked in the door? How have the players changed and adapted to her and head coach Seb Hines' management style?
Plus, Steph reports back from her one-on-one with Commissioner Jessica Berman and the additional information she learned about the Angel City points deductions. What does it mean for the rest of the league, and the NWSL's image regarding rule-breaking?
There's also time to preview the upcoming NWSL weekend, the Portland Thorns' plans to make a change at GM, and whether Temwa Chawinga will hit goal number 19!

What are the major questions that need answering? How will form and injuries come into play? Which team is trending up at crunch time? And, which is falling apart at the worst possible moment?
During the show, NWSL Best XI candidate Taylor Flint stopped by to take us inside her impressive season, the positional tweaks she has had to incorporate under head coach Bev Yanez, as well as offer a behind-the-scenes view of Racing Louisville's quest for a first-ever playoff berth.
All of that plus Fran Alonso departing the Houston Dash, Christine Sinclair's retirement announcement, UWCL Group Stage draw takeaways, and a new NWSL Shield trophy!
