About this listen

On Full Time this week we're talking about NWSL rivalries. Over the last 12 years, we've seen some true, real rivalries, but we've also seen some that raise a few eyebrows. So, how do rivalries happen? Who are they for? Why are they important to the NWSL? And, what are the key ingredients to sustaining them?


For this discussion, hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan are joined by esteemed NWSL journalists Susie Rantz, Jason Anderson and Jenna Tonelli to help discover what makes an NWSL rivalry. From the historic Cascadia Rivalry, to the burgeoning SoCal Derby, the newly dubbed East Coast Rivalry, and the lesser-known rivalries that may have come and gone along the way.
