After the Whistle with Brendan Hunt and Rebecca Lowe

Minutes after the final whistle, Brendan and Rebecca air out their thoughts on Group B’s first day of World Cup action. Brendan is not in a great place after the U.S.’s 1-1 draw with Wales, but Rebecca thinks there’s actually much to love about The Guys’ performance. Meanwhile, Rebecca is giddy over England’s six (!) goals against Iran and in awe of Jude Bellingham...

We’re officially two days out from the start of the World Cup, so it’s time for Brendan’s and Rebecca’s predictions: Who will be the dark horses? The underperformers? The breakout stars? The most fun to watch? And of course: Who will go all the way? Plus, hear Brendan and Rebecca discuss what could be Messi’s and Ronaldo’s last rides and educate everyone on the do’s and do nots (… mostly do nots) for how to behave at a World Cup party...

In this inaugural episode, Brendan Hunt (who plays Coach Beard on ‘Ted Lasso’) and Rebecca Lowe (who covers the English Premier League for NBC Sports) gear up for the World Cup. Hear them battle out their national allegiances to the U.S. and England, reflect on the human-rights abuses taking place in Qatar, and share the story of how ‘Ted Lasso’ brought them together eight years ago...

Join Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard on ‘Ted Lasso’, and Rebecca Lowe, presenter for NBC Sports, as they celebrate, mourn, laugh, and cry during the World Cup. They’re teaming up to talk about all the dramatic moments, the favorites and the dark horses, the stars and the flops ... with a few special guests stopping by along the way. It’s the beautiful game, as experienced by two of the very best friends (who just met).
