The return of Trinity Rodman to the USWNT is now in doubt after an injury midweek playing for the Washington Spirit.

    Christen Press’s legacy in NWSL, USWNT and beyond

    One of the most iconic women's soccer players of the 20th century is hanging up her boots. Christen Press has announced she is retiring at the end of the 2025 NWSL season. So, on this week's Full Time podcast, hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan dig into Press' career, from Stanford, to Sweden, to the NWSL, to winning two World Cups with the USWNT and then finally returning home to help launch Angel City FC in her hometown. Tamerra and Meg get into the highs and lows on and off the pitch. What is going to be her legacy? How did she push boundaries and back herself when the path wasn't always easy? Meg also reflects on catching up with Press this week for a lengthy phone call to talk about her retirement, the unique way she has chosen to do it, and unpack the big moments that defined her career. From the personal battles that the public didn't see, to the joys of feeling loved by fans despite having been painted as a "villain" many years ago. PLUS: Laura Harvey, who previously coached press at the Utah Royals and USWNT, joins the podcast to talk about what it was like to coach Press and how this generation of retiring NWSL changed the game and kept receipts. Just how much does the NWSL and women's soccer owe to the likes of Press, Kristen Hamilton, Lauren Barnes and Christine Sinclair? _______________ Referenced on the show USWNT’s Christen Press’ thank you letters to herself, football and the fans: Exclusive Christen Press felt like a ‘villain’.

    KC Current break more records & is the Orlando Pride out of its slump?

    Records, they absolutely hate to see the Kansas City Current coming. Another week means more history made at CPKC Stadium as the number one team in the NWSL continues to set itself apart. On this week's Full Time Review, Jillian Sakovits is joined by The Athletic's Tamerra Griffin to analyze the Current's latest marquee performance against Gotham; as well as the instant impact of MVP frontrunner Temwa Chawinga, who returned from a small knee injury that prevented her from starting the last two weeks. PLUS: After big wins, have the Orlando Pride and the San Diego Wave arrested their slumps since the summer break? Who are the teams to watch in a crowded middle of the standings? And, how do we make sense of the NWSL playoff picture with two matches left to go. Jill also breaks down the latest from the English Women's Super League, including woeful starts to the season for Liverpool and West Ham, and a huge moment for Diana Ordóñez and Tigres UANL in LigaMX Femenil. _______________ HOST: Jillian Sakovits GUEST: Tamerra Griffin PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes VIDEO PRODUCER: Lia Griffin EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen _______________ Referenced on the show: NWSL executive committee approves 3-year extension for commissioner Jessica Berman: Sources _______________ Get in touch: ⁠⁠fulltime@theathletic.com⁠⁠ Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to our Youtube channel: here Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ Visit the Yahoo Women's Sports hub ⁠⁠here Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode of Full Time Focus, host Jillian Sakovits sits down with Jackson to hear all about her breakout season in the NWSL, career paths off the pitch, what it was like to see her best friend and former teammate Jaedyn Shaw depart the Courage, and what her USWNT aspirations are.

    How do we fix women's soccer awards?

    Last week, Aitana Bonmati won her third consecutive Ballon d’Or – essentially crowning her as the best player in the world for a third consecutive season. Understandably, that got the whole world talking about how we judge individual awards in soccer and what it means to be at the top of that list? The Full Time podcast included.  So, on this week's Full Time podcast, hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan are joined by esteemed panel of guests, including Ballon d'Or voters Annie Peterson and Soph Downey, and The Guardian Top 100 Women's Footballers coordinator Rich Laverty, to try and figure out whether we can fix women's soccer awards voting. What issues currently exist in the voting format? How are biases exposed in the voting and the awards themselves? Is is it even possible to be objective? And, what role does accessibility and national team performance in determining which players get their flowers? _______________ Referenced on the show Ballon d’Or voting: Dembele’s dominance, how Bonmati won and other key takeaways Aitana Bonmati’s third consecutive Ballon d’Or exposes voting flaws How Ousmane Dembele and Aitana Bonmati won top 2025 Ballon d’Or awards at Paris ceremony The Ballon d’Or and why football has become so obsessed with individual awards What it’s like to vote for Ballon d’Or Feminin: The Athletic’s Steph Yang shares some insight ______________ HOSTS: Tamerra Griffin, Meg Linehan GUESTS: Annie Peterson, Soph Downey, Rich Laverty PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes VIDEO PRODUCER: Lia Griffin EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen _______________ Get in touch: ⁠⁠fulltime@theathletic.com⁠⁠ Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ Visit the Yahoo Women's Sports hub ⁠⁠here Hosted on Acast.
