She is 🐐🐐🐐

Two legends

Love the interviews your amazing Sam And Alyssa is the goat

LOL. teterboro is in new jersey. also, if there is enough of a storm that logan is shut down, wouldn't the game be postponed, or at least significantly delayed???

Thanks for this interview. I've not been a big Naeher fan over the years. Nothing personal, but the Solo bar for USWNT keeper is very high (just like the Abby Striker bar is very high for a 9). This is the most I've heard her speak, so it good to hear her side of the stories and her thoughts and process for the position. Also, she doesn't strike me as "crazy" the same way keepers in the men's game are stereotypically perceived.

Watching AN smile is awesome. Love her so much!!

We don't get enough interviews from her. Such a great interview. Every young player should listen because there's so much amazing advice from Naeher. Thanks Sam!!! ❤

Hello Sam. Note to Emma. Becky in goal and Alyssa at nine. No delay, the Olympics depend on it.

Hello Sam. I cannot help but admire Alyssa as a goalkeeper and I listened to an interview she did with a channel local to her after the World Cup win. As an English listener it was really annoying that the interviewer pointed out, not the final, but just that save of the penalty. I really like how Steph Houghton, who just retired, kept playing despite her husband's illness and if anyone deserved to score the penalty and win a World Cup it was her. I also wished she would win the WSL again, but US fans will have been happy to see Emma win it with Chelsea. Steph's husband, also a footballer, teamed up with a rugby league player, Rob Burrow, to raise awareness of their illness. Rob, who I knew only through friends, died this weekend and I encourage anyone reading this to take a look at his story. There are many tributes on KZfaq.

what do yall use to bribe Alyssa to do interviews?

Great episode, love Alyssa. As a fellow New Englander… you make me proud.

Alyssa is GOAT! Praying she’s back in time for the Olympics! You guys are both such a pleasure to listen to. Go USA🇺🇸🇺🇸

Once, coming back from overseas, I was supposed to change planes in DC. Weather shut it down. We had to land in Phili to get fuel. I understand. 😄

Oh my gosh! Did her knee actually bend in like that??

I see Alyssa, i click. Love Alyssa thank you so much for having her on ❤❤❤

Yay Alyssa! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

We are lucky to live in Chicago and have Alyssa as our Goalie and Mall as our forward. Can't wait for Saturday's game at Wrigley! Thanks so much for the interview- love all Alyssa content! Go Red Stars!

Alyssa is right that Miracle on Ice game wasn’t the final game. They ended up beating Finland (just as difficult) to win gold. The Soviet Union team won Silver, but that is because the format wasn’t as we know now a playoffs.

Who knew Alyssa had this many words in her?!?! Love to hear from her - she is awesome to listen to and such an awesome player!

And YAY… Olipop can isn’t blocking the Kristie Plush anymore!!! Go Olipop!

OMG I was so happy to Alyssa’s sweet face when I opened KZfaq!! She is my favorite player and the reason I follow the NWSL. I’ve watched her on the national team with the other national team girls for so many years. Hoping she’s back on the pitch soon and doing big things. <3

Sam & staff, as someone who wants to be a sport psych, I’m so thrilled to be hearing such introspective and thoughtful questions directed at players. So cool to actually get to hear what players are thinking/feeling at these huge highs and lows in their careers

Second time I’ve seen Alyssa on with Sam and I appreciate her honesty and candor in the safe space provided. Would love to hear her and BeckyS have a conversation…tremendous analytical minds

Let's do it GK Broon and Naeher at a 9!!

could listen to you both talk forever. great interview thanks sam and alyssa

I love Alyssa so much! (said every USWNT fan, because no brainer, duh). That pk did not cross, I’m firmly in the you’ll never convince me camp. Great interview with a great player by a great Mewyy.

Alyssa is so inspiring we all love her ❤❤

Such a rockstar!!!

That RARE Naeher interview! Great stuff,Sam!

Loving the big smiles from Alyssa throughout this interview!

Alyssa is the goat 🐐

Let’s go Sam

Wonderful interview. Alyssa is such a beast on the pitch, and it's great to hear her stories and perspective like this. Thank you, Sam!

Finally a flaw: a Patriots fan. Human after all. 😅

alyssa <3

Sam…. I think you are amazing! 😊

Alyssa Naeher is the main reason I watch the National team and Chicago Red Stars. I love her competitiveness!

Alyssa is the GOAT!

Oh, yeah, and when are you going to interview your sister? That would be both informative and hilarious.

Makes sense to assume the dutch woukd hold a grudge against the US because they lost 2019 world cup to the US. But i thought the Lineth Beerenstyn comment was stemming from the US attitude and players speaking in interviews that they were preparing to play in the final when the friendlies leading up to the world cup 2023 hasn't been all that impressive. The world perspective was that the US was arrogant to act like they had already made it to the final and talking about tactics against hypothetical opponents such as Germany. The US confidence they will play in the final did not coordinate with dominant performance. The struggle with Portugal did not make the US seem like this all powerful force that's going to blast everyone away especially. It would be cool if Lineth makes a guest appearance to clear up the controversy 😂

This is my current fav Friendly. Until the Queen of the net comes this week, of course ;) Ashley's adversity was just... wow 💪

We need an interview with Ellen White

48:20 that really does deserve a round of applause. I never thought Jill Scot would have skills in poetry

Since you were speaking of almost out of gas. I treat a half empty tank as empty and fill it as soon as possible. I never have to stress about running out of gas or having to find a gas station at the last moment because I'm on E. That's my good vibe for the day. Enjoying the channel.😉

Oy, marshmallows. My experience: never again. Taste was same as store-bought but a whole lotta work 😰

We need an Ellen White interview after this Jill Scott interview. They were the veterans of the Euro 2022 squad and they left the game after that victory

28:05 football was growing in Europe. Barcelona Femeni was pulling in crowds. But Euro 2022 was in England and it captured the nation. It was ths first proper football tournament without any COVID restrictions and ir was huge. Plus also, the English women players are likeable, personable and really wanted to grow the sport whereas many of the US and Canadian female soccer players had tbis snobbish attitude of being above the fans and more interested in their personal interests rather than growing the game together. Thats why European women's football especially in England, Spain, etc have grown and stadiums are being filled out in the Euros and in the World Cup in 2023

21:45 one of the best Women's World Cup semifinal games I have ever seen. It was end to end. The US held on, Steph Houghton missed a penalty as well, Ellen White was narrowly offside for the second equaliser for England. And the US were brilliant in the first half, and that was without Megan Rapinoe starting.

Jill Scott is such a down to earth person. No other player will say, "You took my place, and rightfully so". She really uplifts everyone. And she also engages the host, Sam Mewis here, and ask her questions as well so the conversation feels more interactive

So many World Cup players should've played that didn't! I knew it was over when Vlatko didn't sub but one player in that first game. Lordt. Sanchez deserved so much better than what she got and even though I don't support NC (sorry Sam, sorry Ashley!), I'm glad to see Sanchez hitting her stride with that team. Go Pride! Go Bats! Go Bay! :-)
