Loved hearing Janine's connection to Saskatchewan and her journey to the Canadian team. Janine, we are so proud of you and this Canadian National Team. Olympics here we come. Go Canada Go!! Thanks Sam :)

Such a fantastic interview.. and I adore the way Janine spoke of Sinc and their relationship! This Canadian is so honored that she chose to play for Canada and represent the flag! What an outstanding human being and athlete Janine is and we are lucky to have her on Team Canada!!!! I was so glad to hear Janine speak on her ACL injury.. the journey to wellness and most importantly the new research project! This is so very important to the health and wellness of women in today's football and the demands it puts on these athletes bodies! Like Diana Matheson staring the Northern Super League.. I feel like Janine is going to do big things when her pro baller life comes to an end! She just strikes me as a person that does every so well in her life and is capable of so much more! Great job Sam ... loved hearing some personal stories with you .. and Janine back when you both played for City.... that was so cool! Best of luck at the Paris Olympics Janine!!! Go Canada GO!!!! 🤩🥰⚽🥇 Anyway... I'll stop here.. and just say a huge thank you for the Canadian content.. we want more!!!! 🤣😉🍁 P.S. Thought you Emma Hayes interview the other day was brilliant... keep up the great work!!! Cheers from Ontario, Canada

Loved your interview. She is such an insiteful person 😊

Janine is doing great at Thorns since her return from the injury. So pumped to see her get selected for a 3rd Olympics. She sounds like the kindest friend everyone is lucky to have. Thank you for this interview. Go Canada! 🇨🇦

I’m so glad that I took the time to listen to this interview. It gives me new insight into Janine’s intellect and inner depth. I can imagine that Christine Sinclair is very honoured to be her friend too. My big takeaway from this is how often she mentions having fun, which says it all. Janine we are so so lucky that you chose to play for Canada. We’ll be cheering you guys on from our couches and win or the L word, we’re behind you all the way.❤️🇨🇦

Such a great interview. Loved your conversation with Janine Beckie.

I was always unsure what Janine’s story was as far as her US + Canada connections so this was really insightful! She seems lovely. I'm glad she's back in good form and able to enjoy the game she loves. :)

I love your positivity, Sam! I knew little about Janine, but now I'll be rooting for her on the pitch, except, of course, when Canada is playing the USWNT. 😀

Beckie has been my #1 since day 1. So glad you had her on!

Hello Sam. I used to notice Janine as she was a Canadian playing for Manchester City. I had spent time in Canada, Texas and Manchester and incidentally I also visited Portland. I watched some videos of the Canadian Olympic winning team preparing for the last World Cup, which must have been difficult for them down under. The Canadian league made me wonder about a US league team for Alaska. Another great chat.

I'd like to see Christine Sinclair on your podcast.

I’m not sure why but Jannine has been my favourite player since her first cap for Canada. I really enjoy watching her play. I was a City fan before she arrived there and was thrilled that she was there for that time. I only own one player jersey and it’s hers. Great interview!

Such a great interview, love your interviews and so appreciate you for all you do❤❤❤

We love having Janine here in PDX! I'm so glad that there's more to her history with Portland than I was aware of, and that it's positive. RCTID!

I knew of Janine and her game but didn't know much about her until this interview. I didn't know she was born here and played for us! Thanks for the insight,Sam!

Sam you made my year meeting you the other day!!! Keep the content coming so I can have my ear buds in during work hours more often 😂. GO USWNT!! 🇺🇸. GO BATTIES 🦇

*Love Janine. Great interview.*

Great interview...would have been great to hear compare and contrast the different leagues when they have played in multiples

We are excited for Janine Beckie❤❤

in 2019 Janine did a really entertaining VLOG called Being Beckie. It also morphed into Brewing with Beckie: Takk Talks which was set in a favorite coffee shop in Manchester. On Takk Talks 002 her accidental guest is Karen Bardsley, a Manchester City teammate, who is from California but was the goalie on the English National Team. She is highly entertaining and would be a good guest. It was a good watch today! Thanks!

I wished Sam asked her about the journalism and broadcasting side of her career. She is someone who saw an ACL injury as an opportunity & did great showing up for Canada during the world cup broadcasting

The most lovely human being🤍 favourite canadian player

I can see Janine being an excellent sports commentator after soccer.

Sam continue to spread some love for us everyday 🎉🎉

CLASS CLASS CLASS

The English league had the great advantage of men's soccer being so much larger and funding it. The NWSL had to do it on it's own. I'm glad both are doing well but, as an American, I'm so happy that the NWSL is doing so well.

one of my fave Thorns

Choose to fight for your country and be rewarded with an Olympic gold medal!

It's Canada, of course an outdoor league will be cool, freezing, even. 😂

Let Gooo sam Mewis 😍😍☺️☺️

Fun interview, except for the mention of TTech. 😛
