End of year mailbag, and honoring Becky Sauerbrunn

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.
