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?
