Petition for Tobin for USA Coach ! Use me as a “agree “ button by liking.

*Tobin is brutally honest and is completely right.*

Was not expecting Viv at all, what a pleasant surprise! 🐐🐐🐐

The insight in this podcast is so much better that what I’m hearing anywhere else.

Tobin breaking down these games is the best analysis I've seen on uswnt soccer in a long time.

Lauren is true survivor. She has been through a lot, but has made it through stronger and better...

Thank you for inviting Miedema as well! That way it's not only showing USA's perspective :)

Tobin should really start qualifying for her FIFA coaching licenses. What a force she would be on the touchline!

Cheney AND Viv, DAMN some world class players, not that I expected any less

The guests keep getting BETTER and BETTERRRRRR!!

Tobins analysis is spot on. No hold back 🍻

This is GAL culture! Love the balance of in-depth analysis, awesome guests and interesting topics touched and just plain fun stuff. "reminding you, to shut your vent" this was gold🤣

I remember that pre-Olympic match against Brazil when Abby broke her leg. I was watching it on TV, everyone’s shock was palpable and all the pundits collectively said, “Well, there goes the USWNT’s gold medal chances!” I’m so glad they were wrong when the “young ones” came in and made the impact they did! Thank you, Tobin, Lauren and Amy!

I was hoping Lauren would be a guest and boy was I happy when I saw her in this ep. She is so amazing and I absolutely loved this episode. It's always been obvious how loved she is by Tobin and Christen. This episode means the world to me as a fan of these 3 amazing women. This show is great! Also, Viv!

Man hearing about Cheney's journey got to me. This is why I LOVE this show. Come for the soccer, stay for the humanity!

This was absolutely incredible. Lauren’s story is an outstanding example of resilience and vulnerability and I’m pretty much in awe of her strength. Congrats on this show, it’s been awesome.

This got so deep. "God would want me to want my life" I so appreciated hearing Lauren's testimony and story. Love her REsilience and grace.

not having Tobin + Christen on the field is hard for us fans...but having this has made the world cup so much better. So insightful to hear perspective from so many greats. Petition for Tobin to coach in 27

Lauren Cheney is such an inspiring human being! What an amazing show you guys have; an hour flew by, and I didn't even notice. Can't wait for the next episode

Viv saying exactly what Tobin did was honestly the best part for me 😂 We need more female pundits!!

It’s so crazy to think of all the players we’re missing this cup to injury. Mewis, Press, Heath, Swanson, all top notch players

This is the best thing that’s happened to us as USWNT fans in a long time.

Lauren's story is similar to my wife's when, at age 46, she was diagnosed with stage 3-A breast cancer. Our soccer playing son of 16 and I after her surgery sat in the car in the hospital parking lot in tears when Joe asked, "Is Mom going to die?" NO! I will care for her, and you will continue to play soccer, stay out of trouble and get good grades. To Claudia when she came home, I simply said, "You can't leave Joe." Her focus from that moment on was her only child and committing herself to beating cancer. Now, 16 years later, Joe is coaching soccer, and Claudia is cancer free, and I am proud of both of them and considered it a privilege to care for my wife.

Tobin, Your analysis was great and spot on! Clearly the broadcasters are missing out. They should have brought you along as a coach. I'm not sure there was a voice on the bench letting Vlatgo hear what he needed to make changes. Great job to you and Christen on the pod!

Hold up, wait… Not Tobin and CP hosting this meaningful, heartfelt and inspirational podcast “posing” as a World Cup recap and not just calling it an incredible podcast. All respect to the World Cup recap, that’s why I’m here, but you have blown my expectations out of the water. Keep celebrating these legends!!

Love that Miedema was able to join this one!!! Completely agreed with all the analysis on yesterday’s game. You’re all saying what we were all thinking.

At 39:58 and 40:29, I wish there was a whole soft-spoken ASMR (not whispered) or guided meditation video from Christen in this voice. She could talk about anything and I would listen to it. Give me a full hour about the grounding ritual haha. So soothing.

Is there any way to get better? honored guests. This cannot end. This project needs to become a weekly podcast. after the world cup. Amazing team, Tobin never shut up haha ​​you make us love football. Christen is incredible.

Lauren Holiday is a gem. Such a special person and player. ❤️

I would love to be a fly on wall in a room where Viv and Tobin are watching a game together. Also loved hearing about Lauren’s journey post retirement. I had heard about her brain tumor, but hearing her speak about it was really inspiring.

So impressed with everything Tobin and Christen have accomplished with re-inc, and that they've evolved into doing this show. Their perspectives are invaluable, and their era is by far my favorite USWNT player group. What a treat to have Lauren Cheney Holiday on as the guest! I got to see Lauren play at UCLA and up to 2015 at the World Cup in Vancouver. I had this feeling something was about to happen during the Final vs. Japan and started filming on my phone - lucking out and capturing her incredible goal in the first half. It was so fun seeing her have a moment of glory on such a big stage. Her husband Jrue was sitting in front of me wearing her jersey and I'll never forget how proud he was and how hard that man cheered for his wife. It was really moving to watch within the greater context of the sold-out stadium, and refreshing to see a man supporting a woman that way. We chatted a bit - he was such a kind person, and when he found out I was also a Bruin and a huge fan of Lauren's, we took a photo together and he thanked me profusely for appreciating and cheering for her. Lauren, you were such a special player and you'll always be one of my very favorites! Thanks for this great interview - looking forward to future shows!

This is so incredibly well done. As a long(er) time fan I got emotional hearing your candid perspectives about the New Kids and that era of the USWNT. I don't think I've ever heard Cheney speak so much, especially since she retired, and truly thank you for having her on. What a fabulous conversation between true friends that we got to eavesdrop on.

I think this is the show we all need, funny insightful and painstakingly truthful

best women’s sports show i’m obsessed

Initially, my inkling was to observe how Press and Tobin have grown into their role on this show. Intelligent. Sharp, concise comments. No fluff. And, in their comfort zone. And then Lauren was introduced. As a Nurse who has worked with expectant mom’s with newly identified brain lesions AND a HUGE Cheney fan, who felt loss over her retirement, and followed her story (and Drew’s story. Just an amazing person as well. They belong together.) since. But, I hadn’t observed her “live”, being interviewed on TV by two people that are very close to her. WHEW! The energy! ❤ Lauren looked and sounded fabulous. I truly enjoyed hearing about her journey. Including her USWNT days! I have felt that significant chunks of the story after 2008 through 2015 were missing. Lauren brought them out. I have felt that this Woman has been absolutely vital to the dimensional mood and team emotionally, and to hear her stories “pre-brain tumor” clearly highlighted the value of this type of personal psyche commitment. I pray that someone with training watches this episode, observes Cheney for who she is (watch her team film clips! No one plays like Cheney. Sam Mewis is close. Very close. But how will she recover when she returns? And JJ lacks her complete package performance, with the soul of the understanding every player in her heart. Girma is likely closer skill wise, but is tied to the back third.) this team lacks unity at almost every level. This is NOT a Champion Team. I am so grateful for the insight and wisdom that was shared on this episode. I felt so much relief and happiness to witness the exchange between the trio. I felt their individual grief, balanced by the experience of her survival. Cheney had provided so much Mid-western practicality, that is missing. But, only from the team. And thankfully, Press and Heath had the great insight to bring her back into the public. Her time has returned. As long as continues to heal herself, her child and Drew. She is an incredible person. An absolutely insightful woman! JimR

Cheney is such a legend. She's always been one of my top USWNT players of all-time. Loved her game on the pitch, and she's a phenomenal human being off as well.

So good to see Cheney. Not sure I have ever seen such a great interview and in depth. I knew the story but never knew how she got thru. She is an amazing person to know how she changed her attitude with the 2008 olympics and became another version of herself. She does have a superpower. Thanks for sharing Cheney. ❤❤❤

I absolutely love the dynamic between Tobin's tactical breakdowns and Christen's big picture, getting to the soul of the matter thoughts. I feel like I have both of those in me so super cool to see! And Lauren seems like an absolute GEM of a human being ❤

Cheney is amazing. This generation of the USWNT (2015-2019) was the absolute best. I miss them so much (though a few Kelley, Alex, Pinoe are still on the World Cup team). Brilliant on the field, but super inspiring, strong and intelligent women off the field as well. And they had a confidence, fighting spirit and swagger that we just don't see in the younger ones.

Love seeing more of Tobins personality in these and how she thinks about the game! So fun to watch.

Really love and appreciate how the show balances the serious and not-so-serious - it’s been such a fun series to watch. LOVED hearing from Cheney especially!

Just about died reading this episode's title. Cheney!!! 🤩 and Viv!!

Thank you for a thorough analysis from different points of views from FEMALES who know the game of futbol in detail. Loving this coverage. I am a HUGE fan of both of you. Missing seeing your skilled and competitive bodies at the World Cup stage.

This group of people! They are so inspiring, and so honest. I miss them all so much. Thank you Christen and Tobin for giving us this content!

Ahhh such an emotionally brilliant episode 😭😭😭“God would want me to want my life” is really such a powerful statement to think about. Thank you for sharing Lauren ❤❤❤

Oh wow this is just so inspirational and powerful. As a Dutchie I loved the interaction between Viv and Tobin. I feel I have to rewatch the interview with Lauren What a powerhouse of love and strength. 🫶🏻

Lauren is pure class and everything good about people, so happy you all had her on!

All three episodes so far have been outstanding, but man, LCH's story soared above and beyond the realm of 'sports talk.' An amazing, genuine person. Y'all are crushing this so far. Let's hope the USWNT gets out of second gear and plays with more passion, risk-taking, and subs against Portugal.

Wait I’m sorry wait wait MIEDEMA?!? This show is better than i could have ever even imagined 😭

I didn’t want this episode to end!!! Loved it 🤍🤍

Viv and Tobin are two of the most “ real “ game analysts. I see Viv’s posts and she is spot on with she says about the games. Doesn’t sugar coat.. like Tobin💯🔥. What can say about Cheney…YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST 🫰🫰🫰

Loved to hear Viv's analysis along with Tobin's. Hope you can get her on another time.

TOBIN PLEASE go be an announcer. GREAT commentary and honest insight!

First: this show is amazing. Second: I thought I liked Cheney before, this made me love her even more.

Just the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining

Shout that analysis from the rooftops. The banter is so fun, and Cheney is so wonderful to share her story so bravely. Thank you for another great episode!

Love the energy of this show, I want to hear more stories from Lauren, Tobin + Christen, you can feel the love and friendship...this is a well balanced show, with tactical + technical talk...great job Gals

Loved this one so much, the episodes just keep getting better and better! it was so great seeing Lauren again and hearing about her incredible journey. This show is just such a perfect mix of Football Commentary, Behind the scenes soccer history and vulnerable REAL TALK!

Lauren is such a phenomenal inspiration, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make Women in Blazers an actual thing!!!

I want Lauren as a friend…funny and kind!!!!

Been a massive uswnt fan since 2011. A player has never ever moved me as much as Lauren Cheney Holiday. The best of the best. In and out of the pitch.

I do like the dynamic of CP speaking to the heart and emotions of a team with tobin’s straight forward analysis - I think that is something different - that is “girl culture” “women’s sport culture” those two angles & two considerations. Keep that up maybe 😊 I also would love CP to have confidence in her game intelligence cause the rare times previously we’ve gotten her game commentary while she was playing it was always 💯!

Love having Viv on. Good get for the show. Class act.

I’m so happy that I found your show, big fan of you both for different reasons. I coached my son (who now plays at the pro academy level in the uk )based on your style and technical touch Tobin, so thanks for that. It’s so refreshing to hear analysis based on reality, instead of American hype. If we continue to play with the same tactics, it’s going to be a struggle to get to the promised land. As an American, hope springs eternal

I knew exactly what Tobin was going to say about width! So important! I was literally yelling at the TV last night! But Tobin is and should be the next USWNT coach!

amazing that former USWNT players see it, fans see it, but the coach can't see how bad that performance was.. suggesting he didn't want to disrupt the "rhythm".

Respect isn’t fear … it’s love. This was an outstanding ep

The world needs more Lauren Holiday's - what a gem of a human!!

BEST episode so far. This is gal culture! Love that the episode got analytical, honest, insightful, nostalgic, optimistic, and vulnerable. All the things that make shows more enjoyable, because it’s human and relatable. You guys rock!

This was so refreshing to watch, no crap on the players but how tactics made them not as cohesive as they should be but individually pull through, Viv POV also made this more objective and also Cheney wisdom shining through 🎉❤

The detailed game analysis -- from a high soccer IQ player perspective and with surprising candidness -- is really well done. Had to pause the video to comment because this level of detail was what I was sort of missing in the first two episodes. These two are really very good at this.

Lauren, you are so inspirational!! Tobin and Christen thank you for your dedication to making this a great sports show

Tobin Heath holy cow. Loved you as a player but you and Press on this podcast are incredible. Lauren Holiday, you are truly an inspiration and I'm so happy you get to raise your daughter like you wanted. You are such a fighter ❤

I didn’t think this show would get me all in my feels 😢. Love love love this!!! Miss Cheney soo stinking much and I love the dynamic between you 3. Great episode!!

Great show -- very informative and knowledgeable without bordering on patronising or talking endlessly about how inspired everybody is. It feels like a project that takes the game seriously and avoids the trap of relentless positivity into which other coverage so often falls. Of course that is something you would expect given the hosts, but so often in the world of women's football the analysis lacks rigour. We need more content like this. Congrats Tobin and Christen!

Could have listened to Cheney for another hour. Great episode 👌. Lucky to call her a former teammate :)

The best episode so far. These guests are insane! This episode just reminded me how much I missed Lauren playing, but great hearing all the good she’s doing away from it. And I don’t care what Christen said, her and Tobin are two of the best analysts we’ve got currently covering the USWNT. Knowledgable, constructive, and personable. It just gets better and better.

Thank you for being so inspiring Lauren Cheney Holiday. I’ve looked up to you for over 10 years. I didn’t think I could respect you more but hearing the difficult decisions you’ve made in life and just how humble and selfless you are, makes you so incredible. So many can learn from you. Thank you for your vulnerability in this episode.

CHENEY!!!! I miss watching her play so much. ❤❤❤❤ Hands-down one of my all-time favorite players.

Uknow im really tryna focus on the show but everytime u two look into each other? Its like ur eyes both screamimg "iloveyou, ur beatiful, ur perfect" sooo thats the cherry on top of the show❤

Loved hearing from Cheney! My heart hurts for newcomer Christen into the national team! That does suck. It made me realize I may have unconsciously been unwelcoming to newcomers in my own life. Thank you for this! The show is exceeding any and all expectations.

Loved Lauren’s perspective on THIS team. So often older players can fall into the trap of “we didn’t do that in our day” type of critique. This team like the other youthful teams will find their footing and start a new era and carry on the legacy. I believe in the despite the terrible coaching

My country have never had a football team until AFC women's cup and i never in a million times they enter in a world cup before it was a dream now it became reality and i think im the only one in my whole town obsessed watching football when everyone else watched basketball or boxing that's the number one most watch in my area and you guys i watch you for almost a decade now the uswnt league even the European League too and our country have a football team finally well i need to support my girls now no matter win or lose.

Came for the soccer and stayed for Lauren Holiday sharing wisdom

For me, two for sure changes. Julie Ertz to the six. That Netherlands goal would never have happened if she was there and not a center back. Next, like you both said Lynn Williams could have made a big difference. Fresh legs and a great attitude. Why did we only make a single change??? Pretty sure that was not a good choice. Great show ladies. Ms. Press, when will we see you back on the field???

This episode is my new favorite! The raw honesty and emotion was palpable. Lauren, Tobs, Chris....the three of you are amazing humans! So cool to hear from Viv too! #coyg

The interview with Lauren Cheney was incredible. I especially loved how she articulated what it meant to be a great teammate. Keep up the excellent interviews, gals.

Love everything about this. I love hearing about the culture and linking it to their success. I think it’s so important to have that consistency for team now, and for the future. So happy to hear and see Lauren.. bring her back! Lol

I missed Cheney/Holiday so much 🥺 it’s so good to see her !!! Nothing better than her at center mid. “We were more of a threat to ourselves then the Netherlands were” 💯💯💯 Also I need y’all thoughts on Vlatko sitting on the bench watching the iPad the majority of the game

I love Lauren, I love her story. The part about her talking to strangers...when i was diagnosed with stage 4 endo and I didnt know who to go to talking to strangers really helped me through it all. My family always wanted me to use them as an outlet but talking to strangers was my real support. Still is my real support and now I can support others the same way. Great episode!

I feel like a very novice fan in terms of my tactical understanding of the game, but my complaints yesterday about lack of strategy for set pieces, lack of width in attack, and not using subs were my same concerns watching yesterday. It feels like a huge level-up in my understanding to hear Tobin stress those same things. When some commentators don't bring those things up, it makes me feel like I'm watching a different game than they are, and it is incredibly frustrating as a fan.

It was so cool to see Miedema and Heath break down the match. Love them both. I’m rooting for the US but they don’t seem to play as a team yet. Maybe the competition to play on the national team is too brutal and last minute. They don’t have time to become a team.

The first half WAS disastrous. Absolutely agree! It reflects that no one on the field has a real understanding of a game plan.

I love this episode! Lauren Cheney Holiday is a remarkable story of courage and strength. But her spiritual gift of seeing what people need to help them be their best and then giving that to them - how many people even have that ability?! Or desire to do that? She’s incredible. A rare individual. She carried the weight of her family on her shoulders during her pregnancy and surgery. I’m sure Jrue supported her in many invaluable ways but there were ways he just couldn’t and she carried all that - protecting him and striving to survive to give birth to her child. I am humbled by her strength. I loved her as a player, and she was a superstar. She’s an even more amazing human being. Great guest, great questions, great interview. (And I loved hearing all of you talk about the Netherlands game and the Team.) Well done!

This is so by far the best show on women’s soccer it’s not even close. And Tobin could you please come up with a disguise or something and replace Vlatko.

What an exceptional interview! Both guests ---incredible!!! And the balanced, natural flow between Press and Tobin was sweeetness! Each of you offer something different and so your Qs come thru the personal unique lens from which you see and process life! You guys are rockin it! Im so grateful!!!

Excellent,excellent show.Today's discussion with Lauren Cheney Holiday was heartfelt and inspiring.The honesty on ReCap is refreshing. Keep it up. The two of you are a treasure.

Lauren Holiday is awesome. Favorite episode so far 🙌🏼

I can’t get enough of this show. I love all the guests. Really love all the behind the scenes happening. It’s really a great podcast for everyone but especially to die hard USWNT fans. Looking forward to the next one.
