    Always chaos on the pitch
    Hey girls, always enjoy listening though sometimes you talk so fast with those beautiful Manchester(?) accents. Particularly appreciated your discussion of the final Chelsea vs Man United match because you never mention Arsenal. All the hype and back and forth on other pods even commentary during the game that Arsenal win the league if Chelsea drop points to Man United annoyed me. Arsenal had nothing to do with this competitive beautiful game between our favourite clubs. Gotta love Man United 1) because the great Casey Stoney built it; 2) because the fan favourite “Take me home United Road” is the best football song ever; 3) because Pernille Harder and her dad are United fans (surely this accounts for Chelsea and Denmark singing the original “Country Roads” in celebration). I agree that Lucy Bronze is the best footballer in the world. And she’s transferring to the NWSL after the EUROS! That means she’ll be here for the chaos of the playoffs. Okay. So which west coast team? Casey Stoney’s San Diego tops the table! Freya Coombe’s Angel City is 2nd! Expansion teams in the NWSL never perform . . . until now. Amazing. And best of all their fans pack Toreo and the Banc for home games. The woman’s game is thriving here in the NWSL. Though not so much for NC Courage since they brought back she-who-shall-not-be-named. When the fans spoke out, management issued clueless homophobic statements in response and alienated their fans. Oops! The latest is that NC fans no longer show up, attendance is down, and the players feel deflated. However, when Casey Stoney’s Wave came to town featuring top scorer Alex Morgan, the place rocked out. The fans cheered Alex who scored the winning goal for the Wave. After the game a couple of cool lesbians were so undaunted as to get engaged on the pitch and even kiss, kiss, right in front of she-who-shall-not-be-named. NC Courage is at the bottom of the table reaping what they sow. I think Casey Stoney, former Lioness defender, recruited defender Lucy Bronze to play for the San Diego Wave, and I’m here for it. The greatest footballer in the world is joining the NWSL in August before the WSL season kicks off. Promise me you’ll watch some games. Promise. Love the pod. Thanks.

    It’s a great show
    As an American and a Sam Kerr fan at that, I love this podcast. The humor mixed in with analysis is great. The chemistry between the hosts is top notch.

    These Girls Have Balls
    The best podcast for analysis, opinions, and humor for women’s football in England. They are a little more crude than Football Weekly at times but that is part of what makes them great. Nice to have a pod where women’s football is not an afterthought. A passionate tearing of a new one for all those players who thought taking a holiday in Dubai while the rest of us sat at home because that was the right thing to do or was our only option was terrific. People make mistakes and they deserved to be called out for it when it is such an egregiously poor choice.

    Great show
    Love the cheeky humor. I laugh during every listen. But more importantly, I appreciate that this podcast has such intelligent conversation and in-depth analysis. As a pretty new fan of women’s soccer and the FA WSL in particular, I’m learning a lot and enjoying every minute. Also the hosts have great chemistry. Keep the pods coming!

    Quality
    Guaranteed to give you a laugh, sometimes gives you knowledge. Legends.
  • Sue D'Nimh
    This podcast has no right to be this good
    If drinking beer from a used football boot isn’t worth five stars, I don’t know what is.
  • littlextinaa
    Loving it!
    Listener from the US and big arsenal fan - love your personalities and insights! Another good word for ‘control freak’ might better be ‘meticulous’ :) psyched for Sarina and the Lionesses! i gave this 5 stars no idea why it says 3!!

    What a quality podcast
    As an American who loves women’s football I really appreciate that I can keep up with FAWSL over in the UK so easily now with the FA player and this brilliant podcast that gives the league some context. The hosts (Tamsin and Charlotte) are intelligent, witty and have breath and depth of football knowledge that allows me to learn a lot about their beloved league and the game itself. I only wish that there was a fan hosted podcast here in the USA that covered the NWSL in this same manner. What do you say ladies? I can’t recommend this podcast enough.
  • Sannah G
    Superior quality
    As an American new to following football, I learn so much from this podcast. I love the analysis, the humor, and the critiques. I wish we had a pod like this focused on NWSL and US soccer.
  • ms. boyski
    Hilarious
    And knowledgeable. Brilliant.
  • LynnMeatloaf.
    Love it!
    I’m from the US and love hearing the English take on women’s soccer. Nice mix of analytical and humorous commentary!
  • Lissa Silver
    Pitch perfect
    There is nowhere I’d wallaby than listening to Tamsin, Charlotte (and used to beHelen) talk about balls. Their hilarious English humor makes me laugh out loud in the car driving to work. They love football, know their stuff, and are a gem of a pair. Only downside is I can’t go to the games they talk about because I live in America 😭all our best players from here are going to England. RIP Sam Kerr. Need a couple of appearances from Helen again with her American accent. That was darling.

    Love them
    Wallaby darned! These two are not only hilarious and entertaining, but highly knowledgeable about football! My favorite podcast to listen too!
  • mhirschler
    Love it!
    The perfect blend of funny and analytical. Can not recommend highly enough!
  • Mkayter36
    Perfect Podcast
    Amazing podcast! Great production quality, interviews and insights. I love that y’all put some personality, opinions and laughs into your show. Other WSL/NWSL podcasts are simply recaps and come across a bit dry. I especially love the Lionesses coverage. Thanks for doing what you do. Big love from America!
  • Coach Sarah Brady
    Approachable, informative and a good laugh too
    My intention for subscribing was to keep up with the Women’s game back home. Up until now I’ve listened to podcasts hosted by Americans on Women’s football...(insert the obvious here). This one is a refreshing change. Good football talk combined with a load of personality and a good laugh. It’s great to listen to people who offer their opinion without concerning themselves overly with the dull PC censorship that unfortunately plagues a lot of football these days. Great little laugh girls. Keep being you ;)
  • abena2
    I luv it!
    American soccer podcsters please learn from these two amazing women!! This podcast is well edited, informative about football (and feminism I dare say), and above all entertaining. I now also love Lucy Bronze! Although I do wish you talked more about Tobin Heath... She keeps getting all of these awards, but no one says anything beyond "yeah she's great".
  • karennss
    informative and fun

  • Kimmy110421
    Highly Recommend
    New to the soccer world. Started with NWSL (sorry I’m American) and this podcast the perfect intro to the WSL. Super funny and informational. Love the work you two do to grow the game!
  • BladdyWellRight
    The. Best.
    Come for the balls, stay for the girls.
  • Channie Tran
    Nice
    Fun hosts and great content. I look forward to it every week.
  • molahs
    Definitely check this podcast out, 10/10 would recommend!
    Was OBSESSED with the world cup podcast so I am so so happy they’re continuing on with this one! Great listen for a new fan to football (me) or a lifelong player- it feels just like a fun conversation with friends about football and all the angry men that impose themselves on our lives. Thank you Tamsin and Helen, you’re killing it!!!!

    First Review
    Hey look, this is the first review. This podcast is super awesome; it’s about women’s soccer from the perspective of women’s soccer fans and it’s funny. Lots of amusing banter, accents, and calling out trash men. Love the pod. 5 Stars.
