Is Michele Kang’s multi-club ownership good for women’s soccer?

In the wake of Michele Kang transferring head coach Jonatan Giraldez between two clubs that she owns, the Washington Spirit and OL Lyonnes, the soccer world has begun to question whether multi-club ownership is a good thing for the women's game.

This week on Full Time, hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan are joined by Aslit Pelit and Emily Olsen of The Athletic for an in-depth discussion into the world of multi-club ownership. What has multi-club ownership looked like in the men's game, and what things can be learned or avoided? How is the Giraldez transfer an inflection point? Why would it be different if a player transferred between affiliated clubs? Is there a pecking order between clubs in a multi-club model? Does the UEFA Women's Champions League still hold the most prestige?

PLUS: Tamerra and Meg give their thoughts on the USWNT's 4-0 win over Jamaica, and who impressed during the most recent FIFA international window. Including, their opinion on who the USWNT's starting front three should be while 'Triple Espresso' remains absent.
