  • Lesle Gallimore talks Seattle Reign's new era and the Hope Solo documentary

    Lesle Gallimore talks Seattle Reign's new era and the Hope Solo documentary
    Sep 19 2024
    This week's Full Time podcast has a bit of a Seattle feel. Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan caught up with Seattle Reign general manager Lesle Gallimore to learn more about how the NWSL club's recent ownership change has affected their 2024 season in both frustrating and exciting ways. Gallimore also opened up about her decision to feature in the new Netflix documentary 'Untold: Hope Solo vs. U.S. Soccer' -- she unpacked some of her feelings on the legendary USWNT goalkeeper too. Before being at the helm of the Reign, Gallimore was at the University of Washington for 25 seasons. There, she coached Solo in the early 2000s. Tamerra and Meg also weighed in on the documentary and some of its glaring journalistic deficiencies. After all that, there's still time to talk NJ/NY Gotham FC becoming the first NWSL club to visit the White House, the curiosities of ESPN's GM survey, and the return of the English Women's Super League. _______________ HOSTS: Tamerra Griffin, Meg Linehan GUEST: Lesle Gallimore PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes VIDEO PRODUCER: Lia Griffin EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen _______________ Articles mentioned on the podcast: Gotham FC will be the first NWSL team to visit the White House for championship celebration Are Sonia Bompastor’s new-look Chelsea ready for their WSL title defence? _______________ Get in touch: fulltime@theathletic.com Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter here.

With just a few days' notice, the two-time World Cup winner, Olympic gold-medalist, and NWSL Champion said goodbye to playing soccer. On this week's episode of the Full Time podcast, it's all about digging into this moment. Starting with Morgan's retirement video, which sent shockwaves around the world, and finally, the extraordinary emotional serenade that saw her walk off into the sunset. Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan -- who was reporting from San Diego, having flown out to witness history at Snapdragon Stadium up close -- grapple with everything leading up to Sunday's finale as well as the send-off match itself.
