Gary Neville interview on 'It's Called Soccer!' with Rebecca Lowe

Gary Neville is this week’s guest on the World Soccer Talk Podcast. During the conversation, Neville discusses the launch of the brand-new It’s Called Soccer! digital series that includes Rebecca Lowe and Jamie Carragher.

The trio launched It’s Called Soccer! on September 18. The show, according to a press release, promises to “discuss and debate the biggest leagues from around the world, the strongest clubs, the most important games and the best players — they will also interview top talent across sports, film, TV and music about their love of soccer.”

Neville, of course, is a Manchester United and England legend, while Carragher is legendary as a Liverpool defender who helped his team win the 2005 UEFA Champions League. Similarly, Lowe has an impressive track record as the voice of the Premier League in the United States after her work presenting the league to US audiences through NBC Sports.

During the episode available below, Neville discusses what to expect in the series, as well as his memories of how close he was to becoming a co-commentator for a US television broadcaster, his thoughts on promotion and relegation, and how It’s Called Soccer! plans to differentiate from the competition. Episodes are available via Spotify and YouTube.

Alongside Gary Neville’s media channel The Overlap, Buzz16 (a Miroma Group Company), will co-produce the series, with Wave Sports + Entertainment overseeing sales and distribution in the U.S.
