    the best WoSo podcast hands down
    I’ve tried tons of women’s soccer podcasts and this is THE one by a mile. Evan and Eric use a mixture of advanced analytics/stats and eye test to provide — without a doubt — the best podcast about women’s soccer that currently exists. Furthermore, they have helped foster and create a fun, thoughtful, and inclusive community in their Patreon Discord that gives people a place to engage easily with the rest of the WoSo stat nerd community as well as Eric and Evan themselves. If you love women’s soccer and want more in-depth analysis, this is your place to go.

    Best WoSo Pod in Town
    I’m a numbers person at heart, but also trying to learn more about tactics. This pod combines both perfectly.

    My spot for woso
    Evan and Eric are my go-to podcast on women’s soccer. They are informed and interested in the data side of the game, but careful to contextualize and explain the stats. And the way their friendship comes through is delightful.

    Love it!
    Thoughtful, thorough and very funny- best listen (x2 for subscribers) of the week for anyone who watches woso or is soccer stats curious

    One of the Best
    Highly enjoyable and perhaps the most consistently substantive content of the woso podcasts I frequent. Imagine how enthusiastic I would be if I actually liked data!

    Unmissable Woso Analysis
    Hands down my favorite American soccer podcast. Smart analysis, makes a case for data to take on a more prominent role in women’s soccer discourse. It also features a sports unicorn: two white men willing to admit when they’re wrong about something.

    Love. It.
    As a man whose favorite sport is women’s football (thanks to my college-playing daughter), it’s awesome to find a podcast with two men focused on the NWSL and USWNT. They tackle the sport with data, cogent analysis, and clear passion, and I learn something from every episode. From a Bay FC and Oakland Soul season ticket holder: Thank you and please keep up the great work!

    good analysis on a league that deserves more of it…
    …but also this is the pod that tries to out a bunch of 20 somethings sexualities so they can report on the national team demographics in spread sheet form regardless of players on the team acknowledging there are players who are not ready to be publicly out. which is childish, selfish

    Bring in women’s voices!
    I generally really enjoy this show and their analysis, but I can’t help but feel it’s weird that it’s always only men discussing women’s soccer. I love the growing media landscape around women’s soccer and think that having women’s voices in the space would add a lot of value and perspective to the show. Highly encourage yall to invite more women and/or consider adding an additional woman host.

    Frank and honest
    Yes, I know it’s just opinions, but still love it that you go into not so obvious not afraid to give constructive criticism.

    Fun, Thoughtful and educational
    If you’re a women’s soccer fan like me, you might be slightly skeptical of listening to two men talk about it. Not against it, just a little skeptical. I was, and this podcast is SO GOOD. I learn so much, it’s clear they admire and respect these athletes as the complete ballers they deserve, and it’s fun to listen to! Keep up the good work, and keep helping people like me understand the sport (formations, styles, etc) better!

    Fun stuff :)
    Great podcast! Eric & Evan’s rapport makes this a super fun listen that includes the tactical analysis I wish we got a bit more of in woso coverage across the board. I also love the challenge of listening for own goals (who doesn’t love a good game of gotcha?). Thanks fellas!
