Change is upon us. In the NWSL and on the U.S. women's national team. This week, on the Full Time podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan delve into what this means both on and off the pitch. Who will step into the spotlight? Who will be the new culture bearer? Who has that dawg in them? What should fans be looking out for as Emma Hayes utilizes an experimental roster during the October international friendlies?
