Women's World Cup Soccer: Podcasts For Fans & Messi, Of Course

 

 Like a good podcast, State Farm sponsors Women’s World Cup show

 It's definitely an unusual coupling with Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard on ‘Ted Lasso,’ and Rebecca Lowe, presenter for NBC Sports, as they team up again to celebrate the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

They talk about all the superstars, the drama … and, of course, the Team USA women, who are hoping to secure their third World Cup win in a row. The U.S. team did advance to the knockout stage on Tuesday, August 1.

After the Whistle with Brendan Hunt and Rebecca Lowe is an Apple News Original podcast presented by State Farm®. Reportedly, listeners don't need collision or comprehensive in order to listen to the podcast.

After the defensive-minded and conservative approach the American team has taken in the group stage, perhaps the team needs a talk from Ted Lasso. BELIEVE.


Attacking Third: A CBS Sports Soccer Podcast

One of the best soccer podcasts is from CBS Sports covering the NWSL, US Women's National Team and more. Attacking Third offers listeners insider analysis, commentary, preview, and recaps while tackling the biggest news stories from the soccer / football. Hosts Sandra Herrera and Lisa Roman welcome a rotating cast of guests from former and current players for interviews and analysis.

On a recent episode, Sandra Herrera and Lisa Carlin welcomed San Diego Wave and USWNT defender Naomi Girma, who is preparing for her first World Cup at just 23 years old and talks about everything from getting the call, telling her parents and packing. Girma dives into how she's planning on taking a bigger leadership role with the US.

In another episode, Sandra Herrera and Lisa Carlin discussed the breaking news out of the Republic of Ireland, with manager Vera Pauw being accused of misconduct during her time in the NWSL with Houston Dash in 2018.  Plus, they discussed the free agency period, which is in full swing in Europe, and the trade window is full in the NWSL. 

Of course, now the podcast discusses the Women's World Cup.
