Immediately after the whistle of England-Argentina, Brendan Hunt and Rebecca Lowe come together in an undisclosed location in Atlanta to give their immediate, raw reactions to the Three Lions’ brutal semifinal loss. In a chaotic turn of events, they end up in a parking lot to commiserate over the defeat and break down where it all went wrong — and how coach Thomas Tuchel failed his team. (So much for that knighthood!)
After the Whistle is an Apple News Original podcast presented by Verizon.
