On this week's Full Time Focus, Jillian Sakovits is joined by Elizabeth Ball to talk about life at the top of the NWSL standings with the Kansas City Current.
The experienced defender is one of the longest tenured players at the Current. On the show, she shares what it has been like to see the team rise over the past half decade. Ball calls into the show from her soon-to-be-opened coffeeshop in Kansas City, Pitchside Coffee, and reflects on what her adopted home means to her, as well as how her team is preparing to welcome the defending NWSL Champions, the Orlando Pride, to CPKC Stadium this upcoming weekend.
PLUS: Hear new Chicago Stars head coach Martin Sjögren talking about why he joined the NWSL club. And, get focused with Full Time's 1-2-3 of what to watch this weekend in the NWSL, from that mouthwatering top-of-the-table clash on the banks of the Missouri River, to a desperation game in Utah, and a meeting of old friends in New Jersey.
