Mayra Ramírez is unbelievably scary. And I say that in the best way possible.

ManCity lost the title in the game against Arsenal. Like Hayes said: "If you get a second chance in life make sure you don't need a third." Chelsea made damn sure they didn't need a third and I'm glad Hayes is coming to the USWNT on a high note.

Ramirez was excellent in the World Cup last summer too. Everyone talked about Linda Caicedo, and of course she is a wunder kid with a bright future, but from what I saw Colombia got as far as they got largely thanks to Ramirez. Her strength and work rate pulled that team ahead. Brilliant move by Chelsea to recruit her when Sam Kerr sustained a long term injury.

The USWNT is so lucky to be getting the absolute legend of Emma Hayes as their lead coach - amazing in so many ways 🥰

After watching this game I reaffirm my belief that if Chelsea had Mayra Ramirez in the Champions League semifinals in the second leg in London against Barcelona, Chelsea would have eliminated the Spanish team. In the first leg, Chelsea played a great game with her on the field and beat Barcelona tactically and strategically in all sectors of the field, nullifying and counteracting all their attacks. It would have been sensational if Emma would have closed her cycle with Chelsea by winning the final of the Champions League. Even so, it was great how they faced this last game against United, after a complex season they deserved the title. It will be very interesting next season in the Champions League, a Chelsea with Bompastor and a City with the ability and talent to beat Lyon or Barcelona, teams that in my opinion are "monopolizing" the European competition. It is necessary for the good of women's soccer that more top teams emerge to face them and be able to beat them and surpass them on the field.

mayra ramirez is the best female player my eyes saw. what a power and talent. thanks 4 these videosss lav u samm

Thank you for covering the WSL! Huge Chelsea fan here, and I’m looking forward to following Emma Hayes in her new position with the USWNT. One of the things she has been amazing at is bringing new talent into the team and then nurturing players to get the best from them and make them into leaders. Across the league, you see her influence with amazing footballers leaving Chelsea to join other teams and elevate those teams. Hannah Blundell at Man United, Drew Spence and Beth England at Spurs with Beth becoming captain. I’m very excited to see what happens in the USA.

Love your reflections Sam. Big Chelsea fan here in Canada and as you said - looked like destiny unfolding. What a story. What a game.

Hello Sam. Good summary. It is great to hear another perspective on the English league. I watch Spanish and German games as there are UK players there too, but tend to rely on you for US "soccer". I think Manchester City have overperformed with a young squad this year. They bought the best young players available in January, rather than established players, to ensure they learn their style of play, so they seem to be the ones with a plan and I hope they get through Champions League qualifying to the group stages, having finished second. Best wishes to Emma Hayes. I just hope she gets chance to sort the issues that were obviously affecting the US team and not get judged on expectations that they can win the Olympics. I do think she will give them a chance, but they have serious competition these days. I will still be shouting for the Commonwealth teams though. Speaking of serious competition, the Spanish U17 beat England in the UEFA championship final today. Spain have been at this level for some time in junior international football, but England are obviously improving. That Euro senior win has definitely started something. From this, I had a different song in my head than the "We are the Champions" the Spanish were singing in pretty good English.

Mayra is Crazy. Amazing

That first half from Rameriz was sensational.

Cant wait for the interview on friendlies! Glad you're interviewing quite a few non-USWNT players! Certainly gives us more people to root for in other leagues!

What a fabulous game! Way to come out and show the world you really belonged there. Congratulations 🎉

This title race was hella fun. I had lost all hope after the Arsenal game. So happy. Congrats to Emma and the girls 💙

Best game I ever watched!!! Yay Chelsea 🎉🎉🎉 Emma Hayes is phenomenal and I cannot wait until she comes to USA!!! Sammy your awesome 😊

so glad the NWSL has a playoff system.

What a way to end it with Chelsea! Now Emma can bring some of that magic to the USWNT

I don't know which has been more frustrating, City's gentle probing constantly for 2 games. Or the inability of anyone else in the league to stop Chelsea scoring whatever they want. 😂

Arsenal are travelling to Australia to play the A League women's all star team (essentially the best players across the Aussie league) next Friday 24th May, would be a great game to watch!

Sam your show is awesome.

Sam are you gonna talk about Miedma??? Come on we are all waiting for you to talk about it

YEAH!!!! SO LOVE THEY WON!!! You are so right when you say that Emma is coming w a trophy is so good for USWNT. Gonna be a fun summer! Love your enthusiasm SAM!!! Dig your Pod Casts ;-) (chomp) ;-)

Up the Blues!!! Can’t wait to see Sammy K return next year and play with Mayra and Catarina 😎🤩🐐💙🫶

city with player of the year, goalie of the year, golden boot, and zero trophies 🤣

Yanited were completely checked out - their players were already mentally in Ibiza making TikTok content.

Chelsea coped without Sam & Lauren, City couldn't without Bunny

Maybe start watching the Damallsvenskan ?

Nice ❤❤❤

U didn't mention jill roord. Is there a reason for that?

What about covering some other womens leagues around the world? Maybe mexico, tigres are doing great things. And no mention of Barcelona or Lyon who also won their leagues today!?!? For once a podcast that would cover all of the women's leagues and national teams to bond the continents would be wonderful. Its been great to hear about players before wwc or Olympics so we are not shocked during their game. Learning about Nigeria and Ireland and Chile allowed me to cherish more teams and players. And you have a great personality and an in on the womens soccer scene that other fan bloggers don't have. Keep going.

The man united players were so done with the season

Why didn’t Lauren James play?

Congrulation to Chelsea! having say that! Bristol City lost by 8 shouldn't happen in professsional football! it will be similar in US for a football lost by a score of 80-0 or basketball score of 100-23! it is ridiculous!

#Sammiebananas

Thank You SamMewi, will you get SamKerr on ?

Chelsea suffer because they carry the load literally imagine if they were not in Europe they would destroy the league to make it worse after 60mins vs United she took off Ramirez and Kaneryd😂... Man City women in any other year would win hands down they just did not put enough distance between them and the Blues because Chelsea women are like a snake you have to make sure it's dead and City got bit...

City lost the title due to a lack of mystique in the last game and because the coach did not know how to tie the game with Arcenal with that champion point

Don't really care about the English league but sure happy the USWNT are getting one of the best coaches.
