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.

play

10/07/24 • 18 min

Welcome to the first-ever edition of Full Time Review!

A new podcast from The Athletic that brings you a quick review of all the weekend’s NWSL action in under 15 minutes.

Every Monday, we'll keep you updated on the biggest news stories, results, off-field moments, breathtaking goals, press conference reactions, and maybe some tidbits from Europe and international matches too.

On the inaugural episode, Meg Linehan was joined by Steph Yang, who was in Orlando on Sunday night to witness Marta and the Pride lift their first-ever NWSL Shield. It was a soggy, emotional, and historic night to remember in central Florida.

After that, Meg breaks down the crucial details of Angel City's unprecedented sanctions for breaching the salary cap rules, Temwa Chawinga equaling Sam Kerr's single-season goal record, and so much more from a suitably busy weekend in the NWSL.

Full Time with Meg Linehan: A show about women's soccer - Inside the landmark new NWSL CBA with Brianna Pinto

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?

Happy 2025! It's a new year and a new season of Full Time with Meg Linehan!

As the NWSL offseason heats up, one of the biggest talking points has been: What has been going on at NJ/NY Gotham FC?

Well, to help answer that question, Gotham general manager Yael Averbuch West joins the podcast to talk about the transfers out of Lynn Williams and Yazmeen Ryan, the major signing of Brazilian international Gabi Portilho, and what it means for Gotham to be in the spotlight as a top club in the league.

Meg Linehan and Theo Lloyd-Hughes also react to Emma Hayes' first U.S. women's national team roster of 2025, and break down the nuances of what it means for the U-23 players to also be joining up for the 'futures' camp in January.

PLUS: Discussion on what to make of the NWSL dropping its schedule 'footprint' for 2025, the built-in summer break, and the return of the Challenge Cup as curtain raiser between the league's Shield and Championship winners.

It's NWSL Playoff Semifinal week!

So, on this episode of Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan caught up with Washington Spirit and USWNT midfielder Hal Hershfelt ahead of her team's knockout match against Gotham FC. They talked about adjusting to life in the pros, the special home crowd at Audi Field, coffee stories from Paris, why she loves to play with a "dawg" mentality, and more!

After that great conversation, The Athletic's Jeff Rueter stopped by to analyze the NWSL's end-of-year awards. Who is on the shortlist? Who got snubbed? On what criteria do you judge an MVP? Will Tamerra, Meg, and Jeff all agree?

As well as all that, there's still time to unpack Lily Yohannes' decision to play for the USA, the Canada drone investigation report, and even more NWSL Playoff talk.

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.

Welcome back to the Full Time Review! The Athletic's Monday morning podcast that brings you a recap of the weekend's NWSL action and more from the women's soccer world in under 15 minutes.

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? We have the latest on the record-breaking KC Current forward, who scored her 20th goal of the season against the San Diego Wave and by doing so completed a sweep of notching at least one goal against all 13 opposing clubs in the league.

Plus: The rest of the chaos from around the NWSL, a continental champion was crowned in South America, and some WNBA-NWSL crossover.
