Has Spanish women's soccer changed since the 2023 World Cup?
This week on Full Time, Meg Linehan is joined by The Athletic's Barcelona-based Spanish soccer writer Laia Cervello to discuss the state of the country's women's national team.
On November 1, Netflix released a documentary titled 'It's All Over: The Kiss That Changed Spanish Football' about Spain's 2023 World Cup triumph and the aftermath that brought the federation into disrepute.
But, 16 months later, the Full Time podcast wonders, has Spanish football really changed all that much?
Cervello sheds light on how new head coach Montse Tomé is perceived, what sort of investment (or lack thereof) is happening in Liga F, as well as breaking down the context behind some of the key scenes from the Netflix documentary.
PLUS: It has been a very busy week in the NWSL, with stadium issues escalating in Boston and end-of-season roster retention lists due at the league HQ. So, with Tamerra Griffin away on holiday, producer Theo Lloyd-Hughes hops on the show to unpack all the latest news with Meg.

USWNT lessons from London and The Hague, plus the importance of supporting Barbra Banda
This week on Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan unpack the USWNT's eventful final matches of 2024 against England and the Netherlands.
To help do that, The Athletic's Charlotte Harpur and Megan Feringa pop in to offer their perspective from being at those friendlies in London and The Hague.
Which players stood out, and which struggled? How did the home fans receive Emma Hayes on her return to Wembley Stadium? Do the Lionesses view the USWNT as their biggest rival? Will the American midfield ever get fixed?
PLUS: Tamerra and Meg discuss the failure of the NWSL to protect Barbra Banda amid racist and transphobic attacks and bad-faith media in women's sports needs to be called out.

Orlando Pride are champions, and talking NWSL growth with Melissa Etheridge and Lo LaBonta
On a very special final podcast of the NWSL season, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan react to the Orlando Pride winning the 2024 Championship live from CPKC Stadium in Kansas City.
How did Barbra Banda deliver the match's championship-winning moment? Should the referee have intervened more? Were the defeated Washington Spirit unlucky not to find a goal in the second half? Was Trinity Rodman fit enough to go 90 minutes? What does this trophy mean to the legendary Marta?
PLUS: Ahead of the final at CPKC Stadium, Tamerra and Meg also sat down with GRAMMY award-winner and queer icon Melissa Etheridge, as well as KC Current midfielder Lo Labonta, to talk about the growth of the NWSL this year and how the magnificent final encapsulated that.
