Beyond the 90 Podcast

We dove deep on the World Soccer Talk Podcast today, but if you don’t have time (or don’t want to wait for that) here is a brief explanation from me as to my thoughts about USL’s number, what created the elements to where USL could get this number on network TV. Local efforts by USL clubs to cultivate linear television channels and audiences are paying off. Meanwhile, MLS has sought a global audience with AppleTV and while that might be paying off in some respects it’s left the door ajar for USL to come through in the manner I explain in this audio snippet.

We recap the final and discuss the controversies over the winning federation's leadership and their handling of the women's game.

We look back at the quarterfinals and preview the semifinals

We discuss the Quarterfinals and look back at the Round of 16.

Richard Farley, whose resume covering women's soccer is among the most extensive in the business joins us to discuss the state of the USWNT.

Note, Richard no longer covers the sport professionally but obviously still follows it very closely.

We break down all the first group stage matches from the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Chris Kessell who has been among the foremost advocates for reforms in the soccer structure in this country including PRO/REL joins us to discuss USL's big potential move with promotion and relegation.
