What is it like to score the winning goal in a European final for your girlhood club, when you have been marking Marta all through the match?
On this episode of the Full Time podcast, Alex Scott joins the show for a special interview to reflect on exactly that, when she conquered the continent with Arsenal in 2007, and where dreams became a reality for the Londoner. Scott is now an ESPN presenter for the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) on Disney+, which will air all matches, including the quarterfinals on 24 & 25 March and 1 & 2 April, in the competition live, and also talks about her post-playing career in broadcasting, what has changed in the women’s game over the last 20 years, and why she thinks Emma Hayes is perfect for the U.S. women’s national team (USWNT).
PLUS: Host Jillian Sakovits unpacks Cat Macario’s reported transfer to the San Diego Wave with The Athletic’s Tamerra Griffin, and what it means for Chelsea, the Wave, the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), the USWNT, and the new era of big-money contracts in global women’s soccer. And, if all that wasn’t enough, the podcast also gives its thoughts on NJ/NY Gotham FC announcing its first official NWSL match in New York City.
