A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am genuinely perplexed by Apple’s decision to discontinue this podcast. It was an exceptional production that blended humor and a profound appreciation for the sport of football. They should cover the Premier League, MLS, more.

Great show for anyone who likes soccer in the US. Not only is it entertaining but it showed how much the sport has come along. Great coverage and simple understanding of where things go right and wrong for each team!

We loved listening to these episodes after every game. We shared the same heartbreak. Why why do we love this stupid game so. Thanks for helping ease the pain with laughter.

Edgewood reader · Aug 2023

Bring a Brit married to an American I love hearing Rebecca and Brendan dish all things football (soccer) and have fun with idioms and language. They are both super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the game and growing up in England in the 1950s when girls were not allowed to play, I love their focus on female empowerment. I played netball too Rebecca :)
