Customer Reviews
Great Show - Episode Mistake?
Love this show! Avid listener. But the latest episode is a totally different story than the description on it? I thought it was supposed to be them on the ground in AUS talking about World Cup predictions but it’s a report on coaching abuse. Is this a mistake?
like the athletic itself, they’ve just thrown up their hands rather than covering the NWSL
it’s just like, they’ve given up on this as a product. Linehan is unparalleled in her reporting track record but covering a league that plays soccer over the course of a season? they’re just not even trying over there anymore.
Such a great show, but… (6/28)
Meg and Steph are brilliant as always! Jeff had a good analysis of the roster, but I could hardly listen with his interruptions, talking over the hosts and negative vibes.
