Hello! Thank you so much for joining our brand-new mailing list and newsletter. xOG is celebrating its one-year anniversary, and with the timing of the Olympics tournament, we couldn’t think of a better moment to launch this and our new Patreon subscription tier.

We will be sending you a newsletter with fun and interesting stats from every round of the Olympics, regardless of whether you sign up for the Patreon. We’ll be highlighting key events, game-defining data, and important players that you may not have seen discussed at other outlets.

But most importantly, we hope that you consider joining our Patreon. For the low price of $6/month, you will become a founding member—one of our Deep-Lying Playmakers.

This will gain you access to our four bonus episodes each month, as well as our Discord server to chat with us and see data that we discuss on each show.

We will also be hosting members-only USWNT live watch-alongs throughout the tournament! These will be available only to subscribers, who will be able to chat with us and get a, shall we say, different kind of commentary from what Jon Champion and Julie Foudy will offer you.

We plan on adding content and a higher-priced subscription tier in the future. But as a founding Deep-Lying Playmaker who subscribes by August 10th, you will get early-bird access to this extra content, and your price will remain fixed at $6/month. It will never go up. You guys were there for us at the beginning; we wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you.

Patreon content launches this Thursday, July 25th, with a bonus episode previewing Groups A and C. Discord access will also launch that day. Our first live watch-along will be held for the USWNT’s match against Germany on Sunday, July 28th. Kick off is at 3pm ET / 12pm PT; our coverage begins at 2:45pm ET / 11:45am PT. You will receive an e-mail from us with the link to the livestream that morning.

So to sum up, here’s what you’ll get for your $6/month:

  • Four bonus episodes each month

  • Access to our Discord server

  • Invitation to our live watch-alongs

  • Early-bird access to all of our new exclusive content if you subscribe by August 10th

  • No increase in fees, ever, if you subscribe by August 10th

That’s it! Here are the links below to follow the podcast and subscribe to the Patreon:

Thanks so much for all of your support over the past year. We can’t wait to take the next step on this journey with you.

All the best,

Eric & Evan
