    Zerboni is a terrible analyst
    Lisa was rough as it is. She’s combative to her peers but at least had interesting analysis. Zerboni is a hot mess and her analysis and points are just so bad. Zerbonis addition to the show has truly made it terrible for me. I can no longer listen. I miss Sandra being in every episode.
  • HotandHumid
    But why?
    I just don’t understand the lack of respect for Orlando. They beat so many records and odds, but somehow they’re “just lucky”. They manage to catch other teams on an off day, it’s never Orlando are just good. Why do yall always sleep on Orlando?
  • SeñorFooty
    Objectively, this is a great show.
    The folks on this show have a deep knowledge of players, player backgrounds, tactics and insight about the game that the average person may miss. This is my favorite soccer podcast.
  • SoccerRLvr
    Best analysts
    I listen to a couple of different soccer podcasts. This one ranks the highest. I really appreciate the expertise and unbiased approach of the commentators. I also like the format. Keep up the great work!
  • GolfGrouch
    Stop the Spoilers!
    This is a good podcast but it often includes unnecessary spoilers in the episode titles. It ruins the experience when I haven’t had a chance to watch the game yet, and I’d rather avoid finding out the results that way. I had no choice but to unfollow.

    Best soccer show
    Best Women’s Soccer show, love the camaraderie amongst the group. I never miss a show.
  • 123disappointedd
    Please don’t put game scores in titles
    I recorded a game to watch later and was spoiled because I subscribe to this podcast and the title had the score. Had to unfollow as a result.

    Naomi Girma plays for the Wave
    Instead of fluffy This ‘n That, Naomi should have been asked what major factors might explain the Wave’s poor finish in the standings this season. Very concerned fans really want her perspective on this question!
  • TCas11171
    Poor
    Low quality, low knowledge, engagement baiting. Their pre-Olympic power rankings displayed how little they actually know about the sport.
  • KatieBar3
    Pod is feeling good
    Recently the podcast seems to be hitting its sweet spot. The Lisa and Sandra Wednesdays are cool, and Darien and Christine on the other days with them is as well! I was super disappointed in the initial transition but it seems like feedback was taken 👏🏻

    Great podcast for this newbie
    This podcast is great for this newbie. I’m still learning about the game. This podcast lets me hear a lot of terms and learn about the players.
  • Kingsley Bigsley
    ✨fav podcast!✨
    this podcast is amazing!! i listen to it all the time and i agree a lot with y’all about what u say about the uswnt BUT some stuff not so much.. like for example, Alex Morgan is amazing!! please understand that she deserves a spot on the Olympics roster!! that’s my opinion. I think she’s AMAZING on the San Diego wave and the uswnt i think her talent should be used at the Olympics on the uswnt. The uswnt is also sort of rebuilding rn so that also means getting younger and newer players, but we need at least a couple of veterans!! (including Alex Morgan) that is my opinion and this doesn’t rly have a lot to do w the podcast but i hope y’all understand. Love the podcast!!! go attacking third!! (aka my fav podcast) Jesus loves u!!!! ❤️✨

    Favorite podcast!
    Never miss an episode, my favorite podcast out there. 🫶🏻 love you all

    Best for NWSL, but not objective and honest
    Have jumped in and out of this podcast since the beginning and I wish I couldn’t feel the “company line” strings as well as friendship to players in their assessments of play and teams. Has gotten better vs when they were first partnered up, but still feel it. That and are you seriously telling me only one of three had last year’s shield winners in the 2024 playoff prediction, even after singing their praises in the first preview episode? Come on now…

    Best women’s soccer podcast
    If you want all the leagues and all the headlines, this is the podcast to listen to. Plenty of others focus on one league or another, but this one has great commentary on all of them.
  • civil tongue
    Here’s what I call it
    Call it what want. hmmm it’s explicit so I call it vulgar and lacks in good manners

    Used to be better!
    Loved the podcast with Sandra and Lisa and would listen to every episode! The new format is not as good.
  • khkhihihihihihiihihugyftdrd
    Good to have such in-depth coverage
    But boo to Carli Lloyd - such a whiner.
  • yelarxan
    Bummer
    Why are we giving Carli Lloyd a platform to complain about everyone and everything.
  • JoshuaRumbaoaJG
    TV Show Audio is not a Podcast
    I listened early on and really liked Sandra and Lisa’s chemistry which is what hooked me. They do good work and have great analysis and interesting opinions. The new format of the “podcast” does not offer the same conversational style between friends that I came to enjoy. I like the new voices and CBS’ investment into covering the women’s game but I can’t listen to this. Bring back the small scale conversational style with these new analyst and commentators and then I’ll be back.
  • Bond. Jenn Bond.
    Bring back Sandra Herrera!
    Look, this show used to be a bright spot in a long week. But the current format is pointless. The analysis isn’t as good and the show has been fully co-opted by women who don’t really know that much about the NWSL and are mostly talking about the European teams. I want Sandra Herrera back. (Lisa’s fine, but Sandra’s where it’s at.) I just unfollowed the podcast for the record — listening to this isn’t worth anyone’s time.
  • MiMoCoop
    Why the changes?
    I’ve been a listener since the beginning but can’t listen after the change in format. Sandra and Lisa were the best.
  • Jr.Diaz
    Why?!
    This was the best women’s soccer podcast, but then they went and changed the format which has made it unlistenable to me. Too many people talking over each other, fake banter, and too little analysis. What is this mess, and why the format change??? I tried to stick with it but have unsubscribed now. Bring back Sandra and Lisa!
  • Plover4
    New Format 👎
    Subscribed since first episode because of Sandra Herrera. She knows how to deliver. I can’t handle the new format and unsubscribed. Please give Sandra Herrera her own podcast. Thank you.
  • MMcGar
    No longer a traditional podcast
    I’ve been a loyal listener since the debut of this podcast. I’m not a fan of the format change. Recording the audio of a television show is not the same as recording an actual podcast. Please bring back Sandra and the original podcast!
  • Whoopsfan
    The suits got a hold of this podcast….
    Revised 9/12/23: …..and changed it from a go to, in depth, daily listen to a rebroadcast of a slick, corporatized (read soulless) tv show. Without Sandra we get a tiny fraction of the information and analysis we once got. The presenters engage in fake forced banter. They also talk over one another (ok for tv but not on a podcast). From 5 stars down to 1. There is not much out there in WOSO coverage so something has to really be wrong for me to give a bad review. CBS can afford to pay Sandra (and give her a crew) to do this podcast but we get no Sandra and a rebroadcast of a tv show instead.
  • SF Soccer
    Missing the good ol’ days
    Please bring back Lisa and Sandra as two sole co-hosts. I miss the detail in their coverage of NWSL game tactics and current events and their cameraderie. I listened to every episode before and now can barely get through one in the overproduced new format.
  • NE Steph in SoCal
    Not great
    I listen to several women's soccer podcasts so gave this one a try. This is by far the worst. There's one person who doesn't seem to know what she's talking about who talks over the others who do seem to know. The whole thing feels overly produced and superficially slick.
  • most satisfied customer
    It was great to hear Sandra
    on the 8/6 U.S. vs. Sweden recap. While the results of the game were disappointing, it was nice to hear Sandra’s reassuring voice. I’ve listened to this podcast from the beginning specifically because of Sandra. I was a fan of her Southside Trap podcast and was excited to listen to this podcast. The new format lacks the heart, soul and passion that Sandra brought to this podcast in every episode.
  • Amy Becca
    Prefer the original audio-only w/ Sandra & Lisa
    I preferred the originally A3 style with Lisa and Sandra chatting. The new format doesn’t work as well for a podcast and there’s not enough Sandra. I wish they could have the tv show on Goalzo & the original podcast with Sandra & Lisa.
  • Amanda U- NYC
    I miss the original format
    I loved listening to Lisa and Sandra during my mornings! Their recap and predictions were perfect for me in such a casual atmosphere with friendly banter. However, this new format came so abruptly and although I know it’s important to have a show dedicated to women’s footy, I wish it was its own separate thing or even a continuation of the original podcast. I miss Sandra. We need more Sandra, again.
  • feedbackguest
    Leveling up !
    Love this move to become a dedicated 3x/week “semi-Daily” WoSo show on the Golazo Network. What made the original podcast/YouTube series so unique/important in this space was the dedication to a daily format to grow a community. Now it’s perfectly poised to grow alongside the anticipated explosive growth of the WoSo ecosystem over the next 3 years. Looking forward to 5x/week ha ha.
  • k_ayers
    Bring back Sandra
    Long time listener of this pod with Lisa and Sandra. This change was abrupt…not really digging these new talking heads so far. Is it a good step for the women’s game to have a TV show? Yeah. But I prefer the real talk and casual vibe. Not sure I’ll keep listening.
  • Trffiwwuifehh
    Great podcast!
    Love their insights on women’s soccer
  • GoSpirits
    Best NWSL and USWNT News
    Love this podcast! My number one source for US women’s soccer news. Sandra and Lisa are the best!!
  • EastBayPR
    Disappointing
    I really want a good women’s soccer podcast but this one is very disappointing. It is twice as long as it needs to be. They are so repetitive and there is generally low information content. I’d kill to have a pod like the one Rebecca Lowe and Brendan Hunt did during the World Cup. That one was fun, fast and informative.
  • blank user 1234
    Allez, allez allez allez! Go Reign! Go Reign!
    The definitive NWSL & USWNT show! Love hearing the game previews every week & game recaps after Reign wins! Please have A3 on Golazo Network!
  • PhillyGirl 225
    Love Attacking third!
    My friends ask me how I know so much about the NWSL and even some of the international players and I tell them to listen to this podcast! Sandra me Lisa keep it light but you also know they have done their homework. Thanks for making my daily commute in Philly traffic more bearable.
  • Totally in love with it!
    my favorite podcast
    i LOVE hearing sandra and lisa! my absolute favorite podcast
  • BloominFleur
    Hey, about those Chicago Red Stars…
    As a CRS fan I am disappointed at how little is being written about or reported on the team’s situation. Arnim facilitated some real atrocities on our players and, except for Claire Watkins’ deep dive, there’s been little news. Why? Why not provide more pressure? Why not provide more exposition? Our beloved players deserve so much more! The past two years have seen an exodus of talent. I don’t blame the players for not wanting to put up with this crud. If we don’t get more efficient results with an effective transition, the team will be toast!
  • pretypenguin
    This show is rad
    I have really enjoyed listening to A3 since it started. It’s my favorite WoSo podcast. Also, since I had to lock my Twitter, I wanted to wish Sandra a HAPPY MI BURRITO SABANERO SEASON, and may all of your senderos be iluminados during this wonderful time of the year. Lisa, may your holidays be merry and bright! Defender hive!
  • slorimer
    Great content, but lots of skipping
    Love this content and listen or watch on youtube often. The guests are often great. They cover everything NWSL and women’s soccer. I do wish Sandra would reign in her filibustering though. She can really go on and on sometimes without letting Lisa get a word in. For multiple minutes at a time sometimes. And when you watch on youtube, you can see Lisa has more to add about a subject but then Sandra keeps going and changes the subject. More balance would earn the pod more stars. That said, great content. Great work!

    Sandra Stan!
    Love Sandra and Lisa but really could do without Lori’s negativity.
  • SolarFlare2
    Don’t waste your time
    This podcast serves as a platform to let mediocre voices spout nonsense about players who have actual accomplishments
  • 754400Madcow
    This show is outstanding
    Outstanding show with great chemistry between the hosts. I love how they dissect games and preview matchups. Other podcasts may do this too, but these two do it so well.
  • K.C.22
    Great soccer coverage!
    Love hearing thoughtful and excited conversations about USWNT and NWSL
  • Mkayter36
    Solid
    I love the frequency and topics of this podcast, it’s exactly what NWSL and USWNT needed. I do think the analysis could go a bit more in-depth, sometimes it seems like an NWSL player is assessed solely on if they are scoring goals or not. I love when they have guests, Aly Wagner and Lori Linsey provide great insight. Also, one of the main hosts is long winded and repetitive with filler phrases so the guest hosts help to break that up.

    Vague character criticism with no additional info
    Seems irresponsible and unprofessional. Tell us or don’t mention it.
