Summary

Happy 2025! It's a new year and a new season of Full Time with Meg Linehan! As the NWSL offseason heats up, one of the biggest talking points has been: What has been going on at NJ/NY Gotham FC? Well, to help answer that question, Gotham general manager Yael Averbuch West joins the podcast to talk about the transfers out of Lynn Williams and Yazmeen Ryan, the major signing of Brazilian international Gabi Portilho, and what it means for Gotham to be in the spotlight as a top club in the league. Meg Linehan and Theo Lloyd-Hughes also react to Emma Hayes' first U.S. women's national team roster of 2025, and break down the nuances of what it means for the U-23 players to also be joining up for the 'futures' camp in January. PLUS: Discussion on what to make of the NWSL dropping its schedule 'footprint' for 2025, the built-in summer break, and the return of the Challenge Cup as curtain raiser between the league's Shield and Championship winners. _______________ Articles mentioned on the show: USWNT head coach Emma Hayes looks to ‘bridge a gap’ for ‘lost generation’ with Futures Camp NWSL’s 2025 schedule footprint: Challenge Cup’s return, summer pause and updated roster rules San Diego Wave’s Jonas Eidevall says he has ‘no relationship’ with USWNT’s Emma Hayes after clash last year NWSL expansion adds Denver as 16th team, $110 million fee smashes record: Source _______________ HOSTS: Meg Linehan, Theo Lloyd-Hughes GUESTS: Yael Averbuch West PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes VIDEO PRODUCER: Lia Griffin EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen _______________ Get in touch: [email protected] Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter here.
