On this week's Full Time Focus, Seattle Reign midfielder Angharad James-Turner joins the show to talk to Asli Pelit her summer captaining Wales at its first-ever major tournament, Women's Euro 2025. Then attentions turn to the return of the NWSL. This week, James-Turner signed a new two-year contract extension with Seattle, and the 31-year-old explains why she is so committed to the team and how the Reign has turned things around after a disappointing 2024.
Asli and producer Theo also unpack the business side of the NWSL's summer break, how teams are increasing marketing efforts this August, and what could change in the future to help the league retain more momentum.
PLUS: Theo gets focused with Full Time's 1-2-3 of what to watch this weekend in the NWSL, from Jess Carter's speedy to return to Gotham and a potential goal-fest in the Bay.
