It's NWSL Playoff Semifinal week!

So, on this episode of Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan caught up with Washington Spirit and USWNT midfielder Hal Hershfelt ahead of her team's knockout match against Gotham FC. They talked about adjusting to life in the pros, the special home crowd at Audi Field, coffee stories from Paris, why she loves to play with a "dawg" mentality, and more!

After that great conversation, The Athletic's Jeff Rueter stopped by to analyze the NWSL's end-of-year awards. Who is on the shortlist? Who got snubbed? On what criteria do you judge an MVP? Will Tamerra, Meg, and Jeff all agree?

As well as all that, there's still time to unpack Lily Yohannes' decision to play for the USA, the Canada drone investigation report, and even more NWSL Playoff talk.
