And I don't even want to think about the conversation, Jill, that we're going to be having this time next year when we have to start talking about rosters because there have been so many players this year.

I know. Can we have a 42 woman roster?

Please. Like maybe two U.S. squads or something because so many players have made a name for themselves this year that we were not talking about this time last year. And that just makes me wonder who is going to be coming next year that we're not thinking about or talking about this year. It's really exciting. It's also really daunting. And we're going to be busy again next year. I can't wait.

What's up, everybody?

I'm Julian Sackavits.

A very warm welcome to full-time review.

It feels good to be back, but I have to tell you, I did enjoy listening to my people who were

live from the NWSL championship in San Jose. Had me feeling just about like I was there. So awesome

coverage from everybody on the team who was a part of it. But we didn't have much of a break, and I love that for us,

because the U.S. women's national team got right back into it this week. On Monday night, the women closed out 2025 with a 2-0 victory over Italy at the home of Leonel Messi and Inter-Miamy Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. that win, capped off a doubleheader against Italy with the U.S.

winning the other one, 3-0 in Orlando on Friday. With that, the book officially closes on

2025 for the U.S. Women's National Team. We'll be giving our grades, our thoughts, our feelings

on how Emma Hayes' year went, how this team grew, how this team

developed in what was a year of friendlies, zero tournament or qualifying matches on the 2025

calendar. On today's show, we'll be joined by the athletics to Mary Griffin, who was in Fort Lauderdale

as well as feature writer for Sports Illustrated Jenna Tennelli.

So we'll be talking U.S. women and Italy.

And in case you missed it, here's a little recap of how these pair of matches against Italy went.

Friday night, Orlando, 3-0, the final score.

Olivia Moultrie kept her hot streak alive. She opened the scoring in just minute two. With recent NWSL championship winner, Bros. LaValle, getting the assist. And then in the second half, Chelsea forward Cat Macario, she netted a brace. She had assists, courtesy of Sam Coffey and Lily Johannes. Then on Monday night in Fort Lauderdale, it was another win for the host country.

This one's finishing two nil.
