USWNT Olympic send-off review & mailbag

Full Time with Meg Linehan: A show about women's soccer

This week, Meg and Tamerra analyze how the U.S. women's national performed in their final two dress rehearsals, against Mexico and Costa Rica, ahead of the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics. There may just be a growing concern that the USA's midfield is, in fact, not midfielding. In what ways can Emma Hayes attempt to fix it? And, how did the hot weather conditions this past week play a factor in the preparations for the upcoming tournament?

The duo also discusses what the sale of Angel City FC to Willow Bay and Bob Iger means for the NWSL club's aspirations on and off the pitch. Before then turning their attention to a special Olympic mailbag, where the podcast hosts answered a selection of burning questions submitted by the listeners.
