    Victoria Beckham’s Soccer Beef, Bieber’s Halftime Show, and Making History at the Queen’s Classic

    Two things remain consistent in the world of soccer: fans still hate refs, and Victoria Beckham still couldn't care less about soccer. We break down why FIFA can’t beat the corrupt allegations in what fans are dubbing “Vargentina”, plus how Posh Spice maintains her beef with soccer.  Also in soccer, Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit are headed to NYC this week to play in the first women's-sporting event ever hosted at Citi Field. New York Giants and Gotham FC co-owners (and sisters), Carolyn Tisch-Blodgett and Emily Tisch-Sussman, join the pod to tell us why Gotham FC’s relocation to NYC will grow women’s sports, the differences working in men vs. women’s sports, and whether Sam Kerr will take the pitch in her first match back in the NWSL.

    It happened. It finally happened. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wed at Madison Square Garden. As the resident Swiftie of Well Played, Caroline dives into all the details – and shows why her relationship with T&T is a little too parasocial.

    Taylor’s Wedding Weekend, Channing’s Haaland Cosplay, and the WNBA Enters the Villa with Mia Hamm

    It’s happening…Taylor and Travis’ Madison Square Garden wedding is here.

Meanwhile, Love Island has entered the (WNBA) chat, on-and-off the court. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Justin Bieber taking center stage at the NHL draft – plus, the first-pick’s nod to his Indigenous heritage The backstory behind Dutch striker Cody Gakpo’s emotional goal  Why the “Love Island” girls are giving Megan thee Stallion hope post-Klay Thompson breakup The lore behind Naomi Osaka’s Wimbledon whites from day 1  Sophie Cunningham’s point seen around the world  Mia Hamm’s reflections on her time with the USWNT — and who she has her eye on leading up to the Women’s World Cup The Well Played hotline is LIVE!

    Messi Makes History, A’ja’s Pride Cake, and Haaland’s Half-Bun ft. Kelley O’Hara and Ali Riley

    To continue the World Cup this week, Blake and Caroline bring in some pros. Kelley O’Hara and Ali Riley, former NWSL players, World Cup competitors, and hosts of “Time Wasting," join Well Played to discuss the convos that matter most this week — like the history-making all-American women officiants, why Jérémy Doku will be a better athlete after leaving the World Cup to be present for his son’s birth, and how Haaland’s half-bun is the secret to his scoring. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: - How Marta was the original inspiration for Haaland’s half-bun - The Scottish fans — the Tartan army — drinking Boston dry - Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld revealing their baby girl’s name - How Messi made history in his recent match against Austria - Why Trinity Rodman and Ciara’s crossover is confusing us with Ciara Miller and Trinity from “Love Island” Follow Kelley: @kelleyohara Follow Ali: @rileythree Follow and subscribe to Time Wasting: @timewastingpod Thank you to our sponsor, Ally Bank.

    While Caroline is honeymooning in the Dolomites, Lily Shimbashi, founder of Sportsish, joins us to break down the most important news in sports and pop culture. Madison Square Garden is on our minds this week – and it’s not just because the Knicks lost at home. Rumor has it that Taylor Swift’s wedding will take place at the iconic New York City arena on July 3. Are we buying it? No. What’s are people *actually* buying when it comes to the pop star?
