Ep #128: College Cup, MLS and NWSL playoffs...oh my!

Co-hosts Courtney Stith and Steph Rotz are back with another great episode, and today they’re breaking down the latest happenings in soccer. From World Cup qualifiers to the NCAA women’s College Cup to the MLS and NWSL playoffs, Courtney and Steph have everything you need to know about this whirlwind week of fútbol.
Tune in for the on-field updates and stick around for the bigger picture conversation about the cultural reckoning in the NWSL this year. Soccer fan or not, this one’s a must-listen.
Today’s episode is brought to you by FanDuel. We were tired of never being invited to play fantasy football so we created our own contest, open to everyone. It’s super fun, it’s easy to play and there's over $250 (!!!) in cash prizes up for grabs each week. Visit fanduel.com/gist to get started and submit your picks before Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET deadline.
And today’s podcast is also sponsored by Ford. The GIST is all about breaking barriers, and Ford is doing the same with their brand new Ford Maverick truck. We love the Ford Maverick because it’s affordable and it gets an EPA-estimated 42 miles per gallon in the city. Talk about a win-win. Head to ford.com/trucks/maverick to learn more.
