Why Alyssa Thompson was the USWNT's star at SoFi

On this week's Full Time Review, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by staff writer at The Athletic Tamerra Griffin to discuss the USWNT's 2-0 win over Brazil at SoFi Stadium.

How did SoFi Stadium handle its first-ever women's sports event? How important was Trinity Rodman on her return? Did Los Angeles local Alyssa Thompson have her best international performance yet?

Ahead of the second friendly with Brazil on Tuesday in San Jose, Tamerra also ponders what USWNT head coach Emma Hayes still needs to see from her developmental squad.

PLUS: Jillian and Producer Theo round up some eye-catching results from around the world of international soccer. From an eclectic friendly in Kansas City to a surprise intercontinental result in Osaka.
