Victoria Beckham’s Soccer Beef, Bieber’s Halftime Show, and Making History at the Queen’s Classic

Two things remain consistent in the world of soccer: fans still hate refs, and Victoria Beckham still couldn't care less about soccer. We break down why FIFA can’t beat the corrupt allegations in what fans are dubbing “Vargentina”, plus how Posh Spice maintains her beef with soccer.  Also in soccer, Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit are headed to NYC this week to play in the first women's-sporting event ever hosted at Citi Field. New York Giants and Gotham FC co-owners (and sisters), Carolyn Tisch-Blodgett and Emily Tisch-Sussman, join the pod to tell us why Gotham FC’s relocation to NYC will grow women’s sports, the differences working in men vs. women’s sports, and whether Sam Kerr will take the pitch in her first match back in the NWSL.
