Megan Rapinoe & Emma Hayes on Why Women’s Soccer Isn’t Just Like the Men’s Game

As part of her special World Cup series, Megan sits down with USWNT head coach Emma Hayes. Emma discusses why she’s inspired by the men’s game, but sees women’s soccer as different, what her hopes are for the 2027 women’s World Cup, and why she thinks soccer is the only truly global sport. Plus, Megan introduces a new guest at the top of the show who asks some burning questions from the World Cup’s opening week, both on and off the field. The biggest question: is the USA going to win it all? A Touch More: The Beautiful Game is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR. Learn more about your ad choices.
