EP 275: The World Cup You Never Heard Of with Comedian Dana Goldberg

Herlights

Dana Goldberg, comedian and co-host of The Daily Beans podcast, joins host Erin Foley in the studio to discuss COPA 71 — an incredible documentary about the unofficial 1971 Women's World Cup in Mexico, a moment virtually erased from the history of soccer.

Filmmakers Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine use player interviews and archival footage to share the story of these pioneering women who can finally be celebrated 50 years later. It's one of the most maddening AND empowering stories you'll ever come across. Stream it immediately. Plus, the NHL's Jessica Campbell is the feel good moment of the week. Enjoy!
