Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why U.S. Women are the Global Soccer Powerhouse
Q: What are you most optimistic about for the next wave of growth in women's soccer?
Continued investment in leagues like the NWSL, broader media coverage, and new sponsorship models that support equitable pay and development pipelines will extend the sport's momentum globally.
Why U.S. Women are the Global Soccer Powerhouse
Q: What does the landscape look like for women's soccer programs in other parts of the world, and how does that compare with the US?
Other countries like England and Spain are seeing surging interest and stronger media and sponsorship support, which is fueling talent and fan engagement; the US remains a leader in development and visibility, with room to grow globally.
Why U.S. Women are the Global Soccer Powerhouse
Q: Lila, how would you describe your relationship with soccer, and are you a player or a fan?
I'm a huge fan who grew up in Scotland; I never played professionally, but my passion for the sport comes from decades of watching and following the game closely.
The Game We Love
Q: So what is happening in the US? Is there an effort or a push to get more buy-in from the public?
The episode explains that earlier efforts focused on selling the event as a global spectacle to capture attention, rather than solely selling the sport, which helped establish World Cup as a major cultural moment in the US.
