The Forgotten XI

The hidden history of the Women's Game. Women have been playing soccer since the 1800s. And it has always been political. Rapinoe is not the first to cause controversy. We'll explore everything we can find from the first female pro teams to the forgotten World Cups.

Who's in, who's not? Other news and things to watch for at the 2023 Women's World Cup.
I sit down with Assile Toufaily, former Lebanon National Team Player and Host of the podcast Super Subs and Tom, all around footie fanatic, to talk about the tournament and some of the off the pitch stories which you may not have heard of.
And of course we make our predictions based on facts, theories and that feeling in the pit of our stomach where we just know, beyond all reason, that if the impossible can happen anywhere, it's the World Cup.

Justice Ginsburg was a feminist icon who served on the Supreme Court for 27 years, but how she got there is just as important. Back to football next time, promise.

Marta Vieira da Silva is perhaps the greatest female footballer ever. But she wasn't always that. Once, she was a shy young woman. This is her letter to her younger self.
Be safe, wash your hands.
