  • Has Spanish women's soccer changed since the 2023 World Cup?

    Has Spanish women's soccer changed since the 2023 World Cup?
    Dec 12 2024
    This week on Full Time, Meg Linehan is joined by The Athletic's Barcelona-based Spanish soccer writer Laia Cervello to discuss the state of the country's women's national team. On November 1, Netflix released a documentary titled 'It's All Over: The Kiss That Changed Spanish Football' about Spain's 2023 World Cup triumph and the aftermath that brought the federation into disrepute. But, 16 months later, the Full Time podcast wonders, has Spanish football really changed all that much? Cervello sheds light on how new head coach Montse Tomé is perceived, what sort of investment (or lack thereof) is happening in Liga F, as well as breaking down the context behind some of the key scenes from the Netflix documentary. PLUS: It has been a very busy week in the NWSL, with stadium issues escalating in Boston and end-of-season roster retention lists due at the league HQ. So, with Tamerra Griffin away on holiday, producer Theo Lloyd-Hughes hops on the show to unpack all the latest news with Meg. _______________ What I learned from Netflix’s ‘The Kiss That Changed Spanish Football’ documentary Another Spain women controversy – Why have Jenni Hermoso, Irene Paredes and Misa Rodriguez been left out?

    Dec 5 2024
    This week on Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan unpack the USWNT's eventful final matches of 2024 against England and the Netherlands. To help do that, The Athletic's Charlotte Harpur and Megan Feringa pop in to offer their perspective from being at those friendlies in London and The Hague. Which players stood out, and which struggled? How did the home fans receive Emma Hayes on her return to Wembley Stadium? Do the Lionesses view the USWNT as their biggest rival? Will the American midfield ever get fixed? PLUS: Tamerra and Meg discuss the failure of the NWSL to protect Barbra Banda amid racist and transphobic attacks and bad-faith media in women's sports needs to be called out. _______________ NWSL missed a chance to help Barbra Banda amid bad-faith attacks.
