0:00.0	Hey there. Welcome to Food Ball with Grant Wall. Thanks so much for joining me. Before we get
0:12.5	going, you can sign up for a subscription to my writing site at grantwall.com. I'm an
0:17.8	England this week for stories on Euro 22. And I also visited Leeds United for an upcoming
0:22.8	story. So subscribe now and help me continue doing cool stuff like this. That's grantwall.com.
0:30.4	There's no interview in this episode. My apologies. I've been really busy reporting all week
0:35.1	here in England. But we do have Chris Whittingham here to break down the soccer news. How are you
0:40.5	my friend? Doing all right, Grant. And honestly, if I were trying to book a guest for a soccer podcast

1:51.2	on Monday, but this felt like 99 in the United States did covering that women's World Cup and how
1:59.2	that became a transcendent moment culturally, not just in sports, but in terms of what it symbolized,
2:09.1	what it heralded. And in the end, I think what it created and just the amount of cultural change
2:15.2	that came out of it. And it's not an exact like for like comparison, but I did laugh because
2:22.8	you know, Chloe Kelly celebrating her game winning goal by doing a brandy chest aint essentially
