Episode description

This week's Full Time is the second episode in a two-part 2025 NWSL Season Preview.

Co-hosts Meg Linehan and Tamerra Griffin are back together and joined by Evan Davis, of the Expected Own Goals podcast and Equalizer Soccer, to preview the seven teams in what the podcast is calling the 'NWSL West'.

How are Angel City FC, Bay FC, Houston Dash, Portland Thorns, San Diego Wave, Seattle Reign, and Utah Royals all approaching the new regular season? Everything you need to know is in this roundtable.

Later on, Meg is joined by Melanie Anzidei to review the Amazon documentary 'For The Win', which created a behind-the-scenes look at the 2024 NWSL playoffs. How did the filmmakers succeed and fall short in the creation of the documentary? And what does its target audience tell us about the league's goals?
