  • This is in conversation from Apple News.

  • I'm Shemitah Basu.

  • Today, all things soccer, or should I say football with Rebecca Lowe.

  • The Women's World cup is officially underway in Australia and New Zealand.

  • It's a tournament with a lot of firsts.

  • A record 32 teams are competing with eight nations making their Women's World cup debuts.

  • Players in so many countries, Canada, England, New Zealand, Spain, France, South Africa and Zambia are fighting with their local football associations for equal pay and better conditions.

  • And they're making slow but sure progress.

  • This tournament is also a chance for the United States to do something historic.

  • They are now heading into an attempt for the three peat, which would be pure history.

  • I mean, to win a World cup three times in a row, to actually win any trophy in any sport three times in a row is near on impossible.

  • It's even harder when there are four years between each one.

  • That's Rebecca Lowe.

  • She's kind of an icon in the soccer broadcasting world.

  • She's a host of NBC Sports Premier League coverage.

  • We are going to make some memories.

  • This is Premier League Mornings live on location.

  • She also co hosts Apple News's after the Whistle podcast with Brendan Hunt, one of the stars of Ted Lasso.

  • The podcast is now back for a second season to cover the Women's World Cup.

  • Okay, winners, who are your winners?
