Reviews For Attacking Third: A CBS Sports Women's Soccer Podcast

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 šŸ‘šŸ»
how about a little attention over here?
This podcast is great for this newbie. Iā€™m still learning about the game. This podcast lets me hear a lot of terms and learn about the players.
this podcast is amazing!! i listen to it all the time and i agree a lot with yā€™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!! thatā€™s my opinion. I think sheā€™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 doesnā€™t rly have a lot to do w the podcast but i hope yā€™all understand. Love the podcast!!! go attacking third!! (aka my fav podcast) Jesus loves u!!!! ā¤ļøāœØ
Never miss an episode, my favorite podcast out there. šŸ«¶šŸ» love you all
Have jumped in and out of this podcast since the beginning and I wish I couldnā€™t feel the ā€œcompany lineā€ 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 yearā€™s shield winners in the 2024 playoff prediction, even after singing their praises in the first preview episode? Come on nowā€¦
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.
Call it what want. hmmm itā€™s explicit so I call it vulgar and lacks in good manners
Pay Midge all the money to keep talking.
Loved the podcast with Sandra and Lisa and would listen to every episode! The new format is not as good.
But boo to Carli Lloyd - such a whiner.

1/5

Why are we giving Carli Lloyd a platform to complain about everyone and everything.
I listened early on and really liked Sandra and Lisaā€™s chemistry which is what hooked me. They do good work and have great analysis and interesting opinions. The new format of the ā€œpodcastā€ does not offer the same conversational style between friends that I came to enjoy. I like the new voices and CBSā€™ investment into covering the womenā€™s game but I canā€™t listen to this. Bring back the small scale conversational style with these new analyst and commentators and then Iā€™ll be back.
Look, this show used to be a bright spot in a long week. But the current format is pointless. The analysis isnā€™t as good and the show has been fully co-opted by women who donā€™t really know that much about the NWSL and are mostly talking about the European teams. I want Sandra Herrera back. (Lisaā€™s fine, but Sandraā€™s where itā€™s at.) I just unfollowed the podcast for the record ā€” listening to this isnā€™t worth anyoneā€™s time.
Iā€™ve been a listener since the beginning but canā€™t listen after the change in format. Sandra and Lisa were the best.

This was the best womenā€™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!
Subscribed since first episode because of Sandra Herrera. She knows how to deliver. I canā€™t handle the new format and unsubscribed. Please give Sandra Herrera her own podcast. Thank you.
Iā€™ve been a loyal listener since the debut of this podcast. Iā€™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!
Revised 9/12/23: ā€¦..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.
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.
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.
on the 8/6 U.S. vs. Sweden recap. While the results of the game were disappointing, it was nice to hear Sandraā€™s reassuring voice. Iā€™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.
I preferred the originally A3 style with Lisa and Sandra chatting. The new format doesnā€™t work as well for a podcast and thereā€™s not enough Sandra. I wish they could have the tv show on Goalzo & the original podcast with Sandra & Lisa.
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 itā€™s important to have a show dedicated to womenā€™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.
Love this move to become a dedicated 3x/week ā€œsemi-Dailyā€ 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 itā€™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.
Long time listener of this pod with Lisa and Sandra. This change was abruptā€¦not really digging these new talking heads so far. Is it a good step for the womenā€™s game to have a TV show? Yeah. But I prefer the real talk and casual vibe. Not sure Iā€™ll keep listening.
Love their insights on womenā€™s soccer
Love this podcast! My number one source for US womenā€™s soccer news. Sandra and Lisa are the best!!
I really want a good womenā€™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. Iā€™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.
The definitive NWSL & USWNT show! Love hearing the game previews every week & game recaps after Reign wins! Please have A3 on Golazo Network!
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.
i LOVE hearing sandra and lisa! my absolute favorite podcast
As a CRS fan I am disappointed at how little is being written about or reported on the teamā€™s situation. Arnim facilitated some real atrocities on our players and, except for Claire Watkinsā€™ deep dive, thereā€™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 donā€™t blame the players for not wanting to put up with this crud. If we donā€™t get more efficient results with an effective transition, the team will be toast!
I have really enjoyed listening to A3 since it started. Itā€™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!
Love this content and listen or watch on youtube often. The guests are often great. They cover everything NWSL and womenā€™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!
Love Sandra and Lisa but really could do without Loriā€™s negativity.
This podcast serves as a platform to let mediocre voices spout nonsense about players who have actual accomplishments
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.
Love hearing thoughtful and excited conversations about USWNT and NWSL

4/5

I love the frequency and topics of this podcast, itā€™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.
Seems irresponsible and unprofessional. Tell us or donā€™t mention it.
I can't get enough of Lisa and Sandra! I love how they attempt to make sense of this league that never seems to go as one thinks. Great hosts and interviewers! Keep up the great work!! @agoodjuan

5/5

I want to know what is your favorite players on the field my favorite player is Lindsey Horan how many years is Lindsey going to play with the Thorns or how long her Contract is
Iā€™ve been enjoying every show and the in-depth league and national team coverage. A cool show idea could be, ā€œone trade that every NWSL team should make.ā€ Cheers!

Yay
5/5

Just started listening. Have you guys done a Jess Fishlock episode? Love to hear one about OL Reign! Mini Alex Morgan, Kristina
This podcast goes deep on the NWSL and USWNT! Hosts Sandra Herrera and Lisa Roman have incredible knowledge of the league, the players and the teams. We hear insightful match analysis and discussion of issues in play that affect womenā€™s soccer. Great rapport between the hosts and really fun special guests. Love Attacking Third!
Lisa and Sandra bring great energy and insightful commentary to NWSL coverage without trying to be edgy like so many other sports commentators. Question: how many more mediocre white male coaches must this league suffer or are those days finally behind us?
Keep up the good work!
I was excited about this pod to start but it seemed to have become a surface level retelling of the weekly games. Great if you are a new fan or to play for kids but not engaging as a soccer fan who knows and understands the game. Listening it often feels like the hosts are simply giving an eye test of players and games, and on more than one occasion I have found them to be critical of players performance in games when those players have produced excellent stats during the match. Other than player interviews, which they are fortunate to get due to their CBS production, I donā€™t think itā€™s worth the hour long listen.
