The Waves: Watch The Women’s World Cup, Damn It!

On this week’s episode of The Waves, we’re talking about the
Women’s World Cup and why you should be watching it (even if
sometimes it’s a little tricky to find). Slate senior supervising
producer Daisy Rosario is joined by investigative sports journalist
Jessica Luther with a Waves guide to the cup. They discuss what
players to look for, why nationalism can sometimes trump misogyny,
Megan Rapinoe’s retirement, and why the US women’s soccer team is
so good. In Slate Plus: Episode 5 of our And Just Like That…recap.
