  • Disappointing Halftime Discussion

    I tuned in on the Golazo network and watched the 2nd leg of France vs Germany. Great game, would love to have seen the highlights of the game and hear commentary on the teams’ performance. However, the hosts only talked about the USWNT. While I understand this is the USA, the commentary should be pertinent to the game being broadcast and other comments should be secondary. There was no commentary on the active game. Disappointed.

  • Incisive

    I’ve been listening to A3 since the 2021 olympics, and this current iteration is my favorite. Like the experimental, changing line-ups of the nat’l team, I enjoy listening to the various combos of hosts & the differing chemistry/vibes each episode presents listeners with.

  • Ballon d'Or Féminin

    The Ballon d'Or Féminin has only been awarded to four women and only for the first time in 2018 to Ada Hegerberg; Megan Rapinoe (2019); Alexia Putellas (2021, 2022), and Aitana Bonmatí (2023, 2024, 2025). The European journalists like Barca or they don’t know other players. Yawn! So boring. Clearly the women footballers are an afterthought, even Barca. Do you read French, Spanish, German journalists? I don’t; I read the Athletic and the Guardian. Finally, we got a goalkeeper award. That’s som... more
