The NWSL's first official Rivalry Weekend is in the books. It was a mixed bag until the Portland Thorns took the roof with a 4-2 win over the Seattle Reign, cementing the Cascadia Clash as the must-watch rivalry in the league. On this week's Full Time Review, Jillian Sakovits is joined by Tamerra Griffin to break down that record-breaking rivalry win, and how the young Thorns are coming into their own this season, and dismantled their fiercest rival in a memorable win.

Tamerra also reports from San Diego, where she took vibes of the SoCal Derby at Snapdragon Stadium. Did the San Diego Wave throw away three points? What did we learn about Angel City's potential mentality shift despite the team's winless run?

PLUS: Jillian gets you caught up on all the other major talking points, performances and records from the NWSL weekend, and then closes out the show with her moment of the weekend.
