  • Summary

  • While Kevin’s lost at sea, Dave talks to author Elizabeth Rusch about her new book, 'A Greater Goal: The Epic Battle for Equal Pay in Women's Soccer and Beyond' to explore the fight for equality in women's soccer, the challenges faced by the women's national soccer team, and the need for a coach for the men's team. Elizabeth shares the inspiration behind the book, which was her sister's experience fighting for a girls' varsity soccer team in high school and the lack of opportunities for women in professional soccer. She highlights the unequal pay and treatment of the USWNT compared to the USMNT, the challenges they faced in their fight for equal pay, and the role the equal pay deal has had on the ongoing struggle for gender equality in sports.


    Dave also digs into the ongoing USMNT search for a head coach, rumors about Kevin De Bruyne’s departure from Man City, Caleb Wiley’s signing, transfer rumors, Mexico’s coaching changes, and the MLS All-Star Game.
