Shownotes
Pittsburgh has a heightened stake in this year's Women's World Cup, as Gibsonia native and Pine-Richland High School graduate Meghan Klingenberg is a key member of Team USA. Joining host Matt Gajtka to discuss this is Hal Kaiser, who covers Klingenberg and the professional Houston Dash for the website Keeper Notes. Kaiser, who is currently in Canada for the World Cup, analyzes Klingenberg's role with the American team, which won its first match of the tournament earlier this week. Matt and Hal also go over the World Cup at large, especially Team USA's quest for its first trophy since 1999. Can they be considered the co-favorites, or has the rest of the world caught up to a degree that makes those expectations unrealistic?
