The Distraction: A Defector Podcast

Is This a TV Show That Doesn’t Really Know Soccer? with Abigail Segel


Listen Later

Defector’s own Abigail Segel joins Drew and Roth to talk about the Women’s World Cup. Abigail explains the injuries hampering the extreme talent of the USWNT, who has a chance to break through in this year’s tournament, and how much of a “Vlatko” US Coach Vlatko Andonovski seems to be. All that plus Candian and American food takes, Remembering a Guy and diving into the Funbag!

    About The Show

    From Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
