Summary

Full Time is back for a preview of the second day of group stage matches, and The Athletic’s Matt Pentz joins for what we’re watching for as the USWNT plays New Zealand on Saturday. The team itself wants to be “absolutely ruthless” as they try to start digging out of the hole of that 3-0 loss to Sweden, but with the perspective of some more time between the loss and this podcast — what are the adjustments that need to be made? Plus, Meg gives you a quick breakdown on the other match-ups and how to watch in the U.S. For all our Olympic women’s soccer coverage at The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/tag/tokyo-2020-womens-soccer/ Our guide to the tournament (free and unlocked to read): https://theathletic.com/2711374/2021/07/16/tokyo-2020-olympics-womens-football-soccer-guide/ Learn more about your ad choices.
