Expected Own Goals

I’ve listened for years and love the perspective Evan and Eric bring to sharing about the nwsl and woso overall. They’re knowledgeable about the sport, share relevant and helpful stats and insight, and have an entertaining pod weekly. Thank you XOG!

I value Evan and Eric’s views and they continue to educate me. Love their opinions but also how they analyze stats bring it into the conversation. Doesn’t hurt that they are also funny!

This is my favorite podcast. Eric and Evan offer perhaps the most well-reasoned and -researched, critical, balanced, and compassionate perspectives on the latest in (mostly American) women’s soccer that you can get. Among the timely stuff you’ll find through-lines on topics such as tactics, coaching, player profiles, the business of sports, data and analytics, and more, that are consistently educational and thought-provoking. Their rapport is delightful, and it would be annoying that they almost never disagree, if they weren’t always right — but it is sometimes remarkable given that they seem together to be such an independent thinker! Sometimes I worry that some team or federation will snatch one or both of them up. Certainly any would benefit. I suspect many players, coaches, and GMs are listening just as often as I am. And if they’re not, they should be — they could learn a thing or two!

Incredibly fun podcast with great banter between the hosts as they thoroughly review the soccer week. I love how these guys are here for it all. Not afraid to call out bad play or give flowers when due. I am so much more knowledgeable about soccer because of these guys. Also - GO RACING!
