  • Excellent WOSO podcast

    I love listening to these guys about women’s football. I am an Arsenal Women’s fan based in the Uk and it is great to get their perspective on the European league and also to learn more about the NWSL. Stellar effort for providing commentary on every game for the 2025 Euros
