This week, the USWNT closed out 2025 with two shutouts against Italy. But what did we learn from the two stellar performances in those games, and how do we evaluate this year as a whole for Emma Hayes's team?On this week's Full Time Review, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by The Athletic's Tamerra Griffin, who was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Monday night to witness the USWNT's 2-0 win over Italy, to break down what we learned and why the brilliant goals by Cat Macario and Jaedyn Shaw show us just how much those two players have developed for the USWNT this year.PLUS: Sports Illustrated's Jenna Tonelli also comes on the show to talk about Italy and how, despite their impressive 2025 not quite materializing into a strong showing against the Americans this week, head coach Andrea Soncin will be taking some valuable lessons into next year's World Cup qualifying. Both Tamerra and Jenna also hand out their grades for the USWNT in 2025 as a whole._______________HOST: Jillian SakovitsGUESTS: Tamerra Griffin, Jenna TonelliPRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-HughesVIDEO PRODUCER: Lia GriffinEXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen_______________Referenced on the show:<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6853977/2025/12/01/catarina-macario-scores-uswnt-italy-win/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catarina Macario scores again as USWNT shuts out Italy twice to end the year</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6846030/2025/11/28/uswnt-italy-catarina-macario-friendly-score-result/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">USWNT’s early scoring and brace from Catarina Macario lift team over Italy</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6850018/2025/11/30/aitana-bonmati-spain-barcelona-injury-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati to undergo surgery on fractured leg</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6847945/2025/11/30/england-china-report-analysis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">England managed a superb, celebratory homecoming.
