Summary

On this week's Full Time Review, Jillian Sakovits has everything you need to know about the final Matchweek of the first half of the NWSL season. Then, Producer Theo is joined by Annie Peterson to go deeper on the Portland Thorns and the rejuvenation of their intimidating home stadium, Providence Park. Peterson looks back on the history of the team, as well what makes this group special, to better understand why the Portland Thorns are so good at home. After legends retired, and high-profile stars were set to miss the season, the Thorns have been far greather than some expected and go into the NWSL summer break undefeated at home.


PLUS: Jillian & Theo give out some NWSL midseason superlatives. From most memorable goal, to best social media follow, and most stylish merch.
