If you don’t know what that means, listen to the show!Then, the gals dive into the World Cup, which is already sucking them in with the never-ending intrigue. Cape Verde is the story of the Group Stage so far, with its 40-year-old goalie, Vozinha, who saved the day in a draw against heavily favored Spain. Plus, one of Cape Verde’s players was invited to join the team via LinkedIn. The US beat Paraguay on Friday, and the gals will have a deep dive episode into the USMNT on Thursday. Tunisia fired their manager after the first game and hired a notoriously hot French coach, Herve Renard. And finally: Some details and info about the Iranian national team’s very strange and complicated situation, and why their best player was left off the roster.
