Episode Notes
NJ/NY Gotham FC are the 2025 NWSL Champions. Seemingly, against all odds, the lowest-ever seeded champions just kept on showing up. And now, with two NWSL titles and a Concacaf title across three seasons, is it time to debate if this Gotham team is turning into a dynasty?
On a special episode of Full Time Review, recorded at PayPal Park in San Jose, Meg Linehan, and Tamerra Griffin analyze all the big talking points from Saturday's dramatic NWSL Championship final that finished Gotham 1-0 Washington Spirit. How did Rose Lavelle step up to the big occasion to win her first NWSL Championship? Why did Adrian Gonzalez wait so long to take out an injured Hal Hershfelt? What's next for Trinity Rodman after her season ends with injury woes and a final defeat for the second consecutive year? Why did Juan Carlos Amoros tinker with his team, and how did he mastermind bringing on Bruninha?
