  • Pathways and potential: A deep dive into the USYNT and the 2024 U-20 Women's World Cup

    Pathways and potential: A deep dive into the USYNT and the 2024 U-20 Women's World Cup
    Sep 26 2024
    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. _______________ HOSTS: Tamerra Griffin, Meg Linehan GUESTS: Heather O'Reilly, Laura Harvey, Tracey Kevins 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.

    Lesle Gallimore talks Seattle Reign's new era and the Hope Solo documentary
    Sep 19 2024
    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. _______________ HOSTS: Tamerra Griffin, Meg Linehan GUEST: Lesle Gallimore PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes VIDEO PRODUCER: Lia Griffin EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen _______________ Articles mentioned on the podcast: Gotham FC will be the first NWSL team to visit the White House for championship celebration Are Sonia Bompastor’s new-look Chelsea ready for their WSL title defence? _______________ Get in touch: fulltime@theathletic.com Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter here.

    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.
