Dip-n-Dots and Other Misadventures

Meghan Moore and Nicole Dyer have a dilemma: The more they learn about professional women’s soccer, the less they understand. Join these two aspiring super fans and chaotic podcast hosts as they search for answers to some of the toughest questions in the game: Why would a team make their logo a water fountain? What is PlutoTV and why does it lead to something called Ion TV and what kind of remote-control voodoo do we need to perform to watch a women's soccer game? Does a transfer fee count against the salary cap? And why cap a salary that barely covers the cost of game-day hair ribbons?In this episode, the confusion deepens when Meghan and Nicole recount what happened when they accidentally shared a hotel with the entire Orlando Pride team during the NWSL Championship weekend. They also try to decode Michelle Kang's Wikipedia page for fun and discover that it's not fun . If any listeners can explain in plain language how Ms. Kang made her fortune, drop some knowledge in the comments. Or just pile on with more questions.Email: [email protected]

If we've learned anything from the 2023 World Cup, it's that predictions in soccer are a fool's sport. Everything is upside down, and it's not just because the World Cup is happening Down Under. Sayōnara, Brazil, Germany and USA. Go, whoever! The only thing we can be certain of is that expert commentary is more irrelevant than ever, so hop on the amateur bus and enjoy the wild ride. In this special World Cup edition, we uncover the secret origin of the term "hat trick," take a closer look at rodeo-clown defensive tactics, speculate about the mysterious geometry of player formations, and pay tribute to Marta, magical #10, and her enduring legacy.Email: [email protected]
