The Boston Breakers Were the NWSL's Heartbreak Team. This Is Their Story.We dive into the NWSL history of the Boston Breakers — the team that couldn't win but somehow launched the careers of Rose Lavelle, Midge Purce, Meg Linehan, and half the people running women's soccer today.

Backpasses Ep. 1: A Quick (Wild) History of Women's Pro Soccer in the U.S.We just fired up the time machine and took the most chaotic walk through U.S. women's soccer history—because if you're loving the NWSL right now, you should know what it took to get here. We go from the barely-documented 1919 league, to the Craig League in 1950, to the USWNT forming in the ‘80s, to the brutal three-season curse of WUSA and WPS. We get into the WPSL quietly holding it down, then the early NWSL “YouTube days,” the Lifetime storytelling wins, and the GO90 streaming nightmare. And we don't dodge the hard stuff: the 2021 reporting, the Yates investigation, and why real player protections finally had to happen. Come argue, learn, and nerd out with us—this series is just getting started.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL@casualfcpod INSTAGRAM | TIKTOK | THREADS@casualfc.com BLUESKY SUPPORT THE PODLeave a review where ever you listen!Buy fun merch at shop.casualfc.comBuy us a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/casualfcpodFind other great WoSo pods at **https://casualfc.com/support-woso-pod**00:00 Backpasses Ep. 1 - US WoSo History01:18 Before the beginning03:49 In the beginning06:35 An Evolution10:50 A New Chapter(s)17:31 NWSL: YouTube Era25:43 NWSL: Lifetime Era & go9033:59 NWSL: Modern Day Era ★ Support this podcast ★
