About this episode
Cat Macario has been left off Chelsea’s squad list for the UEFA Women’s Champions League knockout rounds. So, what does this say about the future of the U.S. women’s national team forward and her Chelsea contract that will expire in the summer? On this episode of Full Time, hosts Jillian Sakovits and Tamerra Griffin break down Macario’s ongoing absence from the Chelsea squad and what it means for head coach Sonia Bompastor to get a new contract through June 2030. Alongside Producer Theo, the trio also get into Arsenal snapping Manchester City’s 13-match winning run and a surprise appearance by pop music legend Madonna at Tottenham Hotspur's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea. After that, it’s time to talk European continental club soccer as the UEFA Women’s Champions League returns this week with the first-ever playoff knockout rounds. Who are the players to watch, and what excites us most about the tournament’s return? _______________HOSTS: Jillian Sakovits, Tamerra GriffinPRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-HughesVIDEO PRODUCER: Lia GriffinEXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen_______________Referenced on the show:Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor agrees contract extension to 2030Arsenal’s Olivia Smith and the surprise new role that helped beat WSL leaders Man CityWasteful, disjointed, beatable: What’s to blame for Chelsea’s back-to-back defeats?How far away are Tottenham from catching up with the WSL’s elite?Chelsea part ways with head of women’s football Paul GreenMadonna, soccer mom: Why the Queen of Pop was watching Tottenham’s Under-14 girls’ team_______________Get in touch: ??fulltime@theathletic.com??Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltimeS
