On this week's Full Time Focus, Jillian Sakovits has a feature interview with Seattle Reign and USYNT defender Jordyn Bugg. The 18-year-old reflects on her first year as a professional soccer player in the NWSL, what she has learned from the players she looks up to, such as Naomi Girma and Lynn BIyendolo, and what she learned from her recent trip to Germany with the USWNT U23s.
PLUS: Producer Theo catches up with Charlotte Harpur to talk England, after the sudden international retirements of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby, and vice-captain Millie Bright's withdrawal from the UEFA Women's European Championships. Jillian then closes out the show with her three things to watch for in upcoming NWSL weekend.
