Change is upon us. In the NWSL and on the U.S. women's national team.
This week, on the Full Time podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan delve into what this means both on and off the pitch. Who will step into the spotlight? Who will be the new culture bearer? Who has that dawg in them?
What should fans be looking out for as Emma Hayes utilizes an experimental roster during the October international friendlies?
A new generation is taking over as legends take one final bow and retire. Now over a decade old, the NWSL is the first U.S. women's soccer league to reach this natural point in a cycle.
There's also the matter of the Chicago Red Stars' rebrand, featuring a new crest and name: Chicago Stars FC. Steph Yang joins the podcast fresh from speaking to club executives about the intentional decisions that went behind the controversial move.
Then, Chicago native and CBS Sports writer and broadcaster Sandra Herrera pops in to share her perspective from the Windy City.

This week, Tamerra Griffin set the scene as big wins for Racing Louisville and Bay FC meant that the final two NWSL playoff spots are still up for grabs.
Would it even be a Full Time podcast if we didn't talk about Temwa Chawinga?

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.

This week, Theo Lloyd-Hughes rounds up the NWSL weekend, starting with the Portland Thorns stunning the Orlando Pride on Friday night, and handing Seb Hines' team their first defeat in over a year.
Then, the Kansas City Current's Temwa Chawinga continued her extraordinary 2024 when she smashed home her 19th goal of the season against Bay FC — breaking the record for the most goals ever in an NWSL season by doing so.
Meg Linehan pops in to go deeper on why the big goals and milestones this weekend mean so much, and the emotion that erupted from Christen Press getting on the scoresheet for the first time this season for Angel City.

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!

It's all to play for. With four matches of the NWSL regular season remaining, it's time we got serious about the teams still trying to book their tickets to the postseason.
This week on Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan break down the four teams, the Chicago Red Stars, the Portland Thorns, Bay FC, and Racing Louisville, that are trying to squeeze into the final three NWSL playoff spots (sixth, seventh and, eighth place in the standings).
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!

Fresh from their best finish at a U-20 World Cup in over 10 years, it is time to take a closer look at the state of the women's USYNT.
On a very special episode of Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan were joined by three guests to go deeper into the world of U-20 international soccer.
Former USWNT legend Heather O'Reilly hopped on the podcast to talk about her time spent working for FIFA in Colombia at the U-20 World Cup, and the data behind the nations that impressed at the tournament.
Then, former U-20 USWNT head coach Laura Harvey explained some of the key cultural and technical changes that have slowly been developed at the U.S. soccer federation over the past half-decade. In 2024, how important are pathways to the senior team and principles of play when it comes to the youth levels?
Finally, the current head coach of the U-20 USWNT, Tracey Kevins, discussed the instantly legendary campaign, some of the special moments the team shared along the way, and all the emotions of the 'Miracle in Cali' -- which saw the USA storm back from 2-0 down in second half stoppage time to beat Germany.
If all that wasn't enough, there's still a bit of time on the podcast for Tamerra and Meg to unpack Twila Kilgore's departure from the USWNT setup and the biggest NWSL matchup of the weekend.

This week's Full Time podcast has a bit of a Seattle feel.
Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan caught up with Seattle Reign general manager Lesle Gallimore to learn more about how the NWSL club's recent ownership change has affected their 2024 season in both frustrating and exciting ways.
Gallimore also opened up about her decision to feature in the new Netflix documentary 'Untold: Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer' -- she unpacked some of her feelings on the legendary USWNT goalkeeper too. Before being at the helm of the Reign, Gallimore was at the University of Washington for 25 seasons. There, she coached Solo in the early 2000s. Tamerra and Meg also weighed in on the documentary and some of its glaring journalistic deficiencies.
After all that, there's still time to talk NJ/NY Gotham FC becoming the first NWSL club to visit the White House, the curiosities of ESPN's GM survey, and the return of the English Women's Super League.

In San Diego, CA, on a sweltering Sunday in September, Alex Morgan hung up her cleats.
With just a few days' notice, the two-time World Cup winner, Olympic gold-medalist, and NWSL Champion said goodbye to playing soccer.
On this week's episode of the Full Time podcast, it's all about digging into this moment. Starting with Morgan's retirement video, which sent shockwaves around the world, and finally, the extraordinary emotional serenade that saw her walk off into the sunset.
Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan -- who was reporting from San Diego, having flown out to witness history at Snapdragon Stadium up close -- grapple with everything leading up to Sunday's finale as well as the send-off match itself.
Also on the show, broadcaster and former NWSL player Jordan Angeli stopped by to talk about what it was like to commentate on the final-ever Alex Morgan match, while also reminiscing about playing alongside the USA legend back when she was breaking out in the early 2010s.

This week, a trio of top European clubs toured the United States. But why?
Meg Linehan and Steph Yang unpack why Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea's women's teams are making sure to have pre-season friendlies across the Atlantic, and what the trend might be a sign of bigger things to come.
What can we learn from analyzing both the on-pitch and off-pitch strategy? Should we be talking more about player load and fixture congestion? Is the NWSL a threat or an inspiration to the WSL's commercial targets?
Having been in Washington D.C. to cover Arsenal and Chelsea's co-tour, Steph expands on what she learned from spending time with the WSL coaches. She also shares some of the details of cross-club business growth from her sit down with Washington Spirit owner Michelle Kang.
One of The Athletic's Arsenal writers, Are de Roché then joined the podcast to compare and contrast previous U.S. tours involving the Gunners' men's team.
In addition to all that, there's also time to talk about the Abby Dahlkemper trade, Megan Rapinoe's jersey retirement, and so much more NWSL action.

It is another monumental day for the National Women's Soccer League Players Association. On Thursday, the NWSLPA announced that it had agreed terms for a new collective bargaining agreement through the 2030 season.
The new CBA is effective immediately and comes just two years after the NWSL and its players signed the first-ever union contract in the league's history.
So, on this week's Full Time podcast, Meg Linehan and Steph Yang broke down what this landmark CBA means for the league and the players. From new minimum salaries to the major decision to abolish the draft, and a milestone revenue-sharing model. Why change the CBA now? And why these specific changes?
Later on, to help take the listener inside the negotiations, NWSL PA representative and North Carolina Courage midfielder Brianna Pinto also joined the podcast. She shared the players' point of view on how the new CBA was drawn up, what demands were essential for a better league, and what it was like to be a part of the five-player group that went to the table with the league to broker the deal this past July.
Before closing out the show, Meg and Steph give their thoughts on the San Diego Wave's hiring of Landon Donovan as the club's new interim head coach. While also debating what the new CBA means for the teams at the bottom of the NWSL standings. Which of the struggling clubs (if any) will be able to crash the playoffs?

From a café in Paris, Meg Linehan sat down with NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman for a special one-on-one interview episode. The conversation focused on how the league is strategizing to maximize the impact of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Can the NWSL build on the success of the gold medal-winning U.S. women's national team, as well as dozens of high-profile foreign players who featured in Paris? With the second half of the NWSL regular season beginning on August 23, how much of a catalyst could these Games be?
With a renewed vision to be the best league in the world, Berman shared her thoughts on Naomi Girma, Marta, the power of joy, club ownership, the importance of marketing, "Super Bowl-esque events" and more.
This bonus episode of the Full Time podcast was recorded on the eve of the 2024 women's Olympic soccer final, which eventually saw the USWNT secure a memorable 1-0 win over Brazil.

Your 2024 Paris Olympic champions are the U.S. women's national team.
On the final Olympic reaction podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Steph Yang dissect how Emma Hayes' players ground out a nervy and choppy 1-0 win in the final over Brazil.
Was this USA team redeeming the 2023 World Cup failure or is that an unfair lens to view the triumph through? Just how huge was goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher at the tournament? Are the USWNT ahead of schedule in terms of their development under Hayes?
From the Parc des Princes stadium in France, Meg Linehan called in to give an update on the USA players' emotions at the final whistle and set the scene from the podium, including tears of joy in the press conference from captain Lindsey Horan.
Finally, Tamerra and Steph close out their 2024 Paris Olympic podcast coverage by handing out their own awards for the best tournament moments and then reflect on how these Games will be remembered.

The U.S. women's national team's 2024 Paris Olympics adventure is not over. After a 1-0 extra-time win over Germany in Tuesday's semifinal, Emma Hayes' team will take on Brazil for a gold medal this weekend.
On this special match-reaction Full Time podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Steph Yang break down how the USA stayed cool to survive and advance in a crunchy knockout affair against Germany. From Sophia Smith banishing the ghosts of the 2023 World Cup; to just how unstoppable Naomi Girma was in Lyon.
Speaking of Lyon...Meg Linehan calls into the show, from France, to get the podcast caught up on her takeaways from the mixed zone with the players and coach. What was Hayes' reaction to taking the USA one step closer to Olympic gold? How was match-winner Smith feeling after one of the biggest moments of her career so far?
Tamerra and Steph also play 'Gold, Silver, and Bronze' (giving out medals to their favorite moments from both the USA's win over Germany and Brazil's stunning 4-2 win over Spain.) Before then closing out the show with a preview of the upcoming gold medal match between the USWNT and the Selecao Feminina. Could this be Marta's last-ever tournament match for her country?

What a day. With three of the four 2024 Paris Olympic quarterfinals going to extra time, (and two of those games going to a penalty shootout), it's about time the Full Time podcast did the same!
That's right, it's a bumper edition of the Full Time podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Steph Yang react to the U.S. women's national team's 1-0 overtime win over Japan as well as break down all 531 minutes of exhausting Olympic quarterfinal action.
On the ground from the Parc des Princes, in Paris, Meg Linehan calls into the show to talk about what happened in the USA mixed zone after the win. How did head coach Emma Hayes respond to audible boos in the crowd? Just how fatigued are these players? And, did the Japanese tactics stifle the Americans' game plan?
Later on in the show, Tamerra and Steph play 'Gold, Silver, and Bronze' (giving out medals to their favorite moments of the day). While also finishing up with a preview of the two Olympic Semifinals to come next week and some of their favorite moments from around the Games on Saturday.
One thing remains true: The USWNT is onto a medal match. But who are their biggest rivals left in the tournament? This episode of the Full Time podcast will unpack it all.
