Did the USWNT just put in its worst performance under head coach Emma Hayes? On this week's Full Time Focus, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by The Athletic's Henry Bushnell to unpack the USWNT's 2-1 defeat to Portugal on Thursday night. The duo break down what went wrong for the USWNT, who does the blame should fall on and whether there is any panic in the squad. Henry also gets into what the atmosphere was like at Subaru Park as U.S. Soccer honored retired legend Alex Morgan, as well as what he learned about the Americans' performance after talking to Hayes and several USWNT stars post-match. PLUS: Jill has latest roster updates for the USWNT and beyond, as well as the Full Time's 1-2-3 of what to watch this international weekend from a Wales legend's final bow in her hometown, to an intercontinental battle of the ages._______________Referenced on the show:<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6745927/2025/10/24/united-states-women-portugal-hayes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The USWNT just gave its worst performance under Emma Hayes.
