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. _______________ Articles & podcasts mentioned on the show Becky Sauerbrunn, former USWNT captain and 2-time World Cup champion, retires from pro soccer NWSL in final stages of adding expansion team in Denver: Source Breaking down the Euro 2025 draw, plus NWSL free agents to monitor BOS Nation FC is set to join NWSL in 2026, but a lawsuit over the stadium could derail the debut PODCAST: BOS Nation launch fiasco PODCAST: Has Spanish women's soccer changed since the 2023 World Cup? _______________ HOSTS: Meg Linehan, Tamerra Griffin GUESTS: Jessy Parker Humphreys 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 .
