USWNT lessons from London and The Hague, plus the importance of supporting Barbra Banda
Listen on
Episode notes
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.
