It's time to say goodbye to the ‘summer of soccer’ because what’s that on the horizon? Yes, the return of the NWSL.
On this week's Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan have their feelings heard on the finals of Women's Euro 2025 and Women's Africa Cup of Nations, as well as hear from Charlotte Harpur who was amongst all the fun outside Buckingham Palace on Tuesday when England paraded its Euros trophy in front of 65,000 people. From Burna Boy and Sarina Wiegman, to what the legacy of the Lionesses's back-to-back trophies will be? It's the ultimate final chapter to a historic summer.
Then, it's time to turn the focus to the NWSL. As the league's summer break concludes, Tamerra and Meg answer all the biggest questions and discuss the major talking points ahead of the first weekend of games. Can anyone catch the Kansas City Current? Will Mia Fishel or Sveindis Jónsdóttir have the bigger impact? How will Racing Louisville build on a strong first half to make the playoffs for the first time?
