that particular game was probably the best under the entire Vlatko tenure. What has to be said is that USWNT really needs a towering striker in those knockout moments when they ran out of creative ideas. A player of Abby Wambach height could have found a way. also giving up on a huge set pieces advantage USWNT had before wasn't a good idea. back in 2019 only 2 PKs got USWNT over the line in the Rof16 in a pretty poor game v Spain. If Rose didn't make the most of that contact with a Spanish defender, then USWNT could have been out in the Rof16 even back then.

There shouldn't be a deterioration within the team that has been playing together for a long time. Even when the new girls came in, they had enough time to bond but never did.

exactly also that "the world has caught up" excuse doesn't work with the USWNT. Outside of Portugal who have definitely stepped up their game recently, the tough match ups for the US were the Netherlands and Sweden who have been in the upper echelon of women's soccer for years now. I'm tired of this excuse, because even if they have caught up, it shouldn't matter since we're the freakin USWNT and the #1 ranked team in the world. Let them catch up, it should only make us stronger. The issues with this particular organization is internal and systemic, not because of external pressure from other countries. I could see where that effects the men's team, but the women's team should still be the best in the world, and they currently aren't.

This show has not only had great analysis and stories of the USWNT's past, it has also been an extraordinarily important antidote to a whole lot of nonsense that's been said about this year's USWNT. There are real problems with the program and you've been tough, but fair, about them. But the players do not deserve all the hate...especially from MAGAts who don't even care about football. You and your teammates have been great not only for the game, but for women and girls across the country and the world. As a father of a daughter, thank you!. She's not a football player or even an athlete, but she and all other young women have more possibilities thanks to y'all.

This is such a great show. Having played adult women's soccer for 35 years, starting when I was close to 30, I have watched both Tobin and Christen for their entire adult careers and the minute I heard about this show, I knew it would be full of on-point analysis. It has surprised me, though, with the topflight guests, and great inside info on the National Team, in general. This episode with Dawn Scott was fabulous. You can't hear this kind of discussion about women's athletics anywhere else. Thank you, thank you for this gem!

Gutted for our team. Props to Sweden for a clean game. I wish Lynn had started. For the pks, I wish Lynn & Julie had taken them. Alyssa had a monster game. We will be back! 🇺🇸

Your interviews elevate your episodes to a level that nobody can imitate.

I’M so glad you interviewed Kosovare Asllani. She is one of my most favorite players. And I love the Swedish team. The world is full of critics, as absolutely anyone can be a critic. No skin in the game, just lots of negative opinions. Asllani reminds us of Title IX which broke in the 70s as I recall. We have been leading the world in women’s sports since then. We in the US are so sucked into the glorious stories of who we are: Manifest Destiny, American Exceptionalism, God’s favored land, and by God, “We’re #1”. You can see this in the fans. So our expectations are out of sight. So when our teams fall short we look for someone to blame. Such an American habit ! Tobin, I loved your analysis in a previous video in which you looked at some of the big picture structural things that, in our rush to find blame, we completely overlook. I’m an 86 year old white guy who is committed to dismantling white supremacy, patriarchy, and racism, all of which are not personal but structural issues. I also totally love women’s soccer/football and watch NWSL as well as European games. In addition to Kosovare and her teammates, I love Danielle Van de Donk, Lieke Martens, Marie Antoinette Kototo, Delphine Cascarino…and the list goes on. Football is the beautiful game, especially when played by the women! Bless both of you for your incredible insights.

I love listening to Tobin. She would make an excellent coach.

the show just keeps getting better and better! so amazed by Tobin and Christen's vulnerability

THANK YOU FOR GIVING THIS SPORTS SCIENCE STUDENT AN IDOLS MASTER CLASS. Will write a longer novel on Re-Space. But ugh... Just like Idlan needed out on the Harvey and Ellis episodes from a coaching perspective... I needed hardcore on this one. Love our fam.

Once again, the way Tobin expresses her feelings towards our last match is pure passion. The love for the game, and love for each individual player and friend. You can hear how angry she is, and you can also see and hear her trying not to choke up. It actually made me sad because of the way she was working herself up. And you could tell Christen wanted to console her in that moment. As for Dawn, you can clearly see how the trainer-player dynamic acts like a student looking up to their teacher. You can't have an athlete at their peak without an elite trainer by their side. As for a coach, all they pretty much have to do is hype up the players and make the roster. And everyone can tell, even Dawn, Tobin, and Christen, *SOMEONE* is not doing their job. #endperiodstigma #firevlatko

Wow, haven't seen Dawn in ages! Not since the Jill days. That was a great listen to Dawn's insider info. Educated me more with the modern football system. Also a great interview with Kosovare,Tobin!

Thank you for ur Alyssa commentary she deserves more recognition

Another fun, informative episode, guests no one else could get or talk to with this level of familiarity. Sound quality was great. 10/10.

So appreciate the openness and vulnerability y'all discussed this loss with. Thanks for sharing your hearts and your minds with us

Substitutions and in-game tactical changes is an issue in my opinion. Rapino and O'Hara missing their PKs is a horrible way to end their World Cup careers. I feel that was way too much pressure to put on Sofia Smith in the PK round. In the end, I think a coaching change is definitely needed to resolve the issues, and may I suggest a new coach who is a great communicator and tactical strategist.

Did O'Hara say this was the last World Cup for her?

@elccollins99 Miss O'Hara is 35 years old, and will be nearly 40 by the next World Cup event. Highly likely she retires before the next World Cup.

I was praying it wasn’t Sophia stepping up to take that ok. Not because I don’t believe in her but, that pressure on such a young player was gonna be too much. Hopefully she gets stronger for the experience

It was sad to see Rapino play in this tournament. When she had the free kick she couldn’t drive it like she used to. Her corners were not lethal so I believe we had to have other as options

They shouldn't be in the game if they can't handle the process.

Emily Sonnet was awesome

this is simply amazing, having the chance to listen for 1 hour to Tobin and Cristen about soccer and the national team is something i didn’t know i needed but i am enjoining a lot

Dawn Scott and Asllani are such gems - great interviews!!

Oh boy I got emotional right along with them talking about these players 😭 saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Tobin’s daily discussion was exactly how I felt the entire game. It brought back 2011 WC final feelings that broke my heart all over agin for this team. Still trying to process this one but really hopeful for the future of the players and team.

Every female athletes need a Dawn Scott in their lives ❤ This show is absolutely gold... I cried, laughed, and learned so much... thank you for shearing this with all of us 🩷🧡

Tobin and Christen, you two are doing a phenomenal job with this show. Both of you have a natural talent for this. I’ve been heartbroken over the loss for the last few days, but you two really put things into perspective and give hope that things can get better with the right changes. Thank you for this!

As a fan of the uswnt there have been some heartbreaking moments in the last couple decades but this World Cup was a different kind of hurt. Im so thankful this show is able to be a light during this time. These episodes are amazing and the guests are so so awesome. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to continue to watch.

Tobin you are 100% right. The complacency of this team making the round of 16 shows they didn’t have the right mentality. We need to blow it up and rebuild.

Is no one going to talk about Kristie Mewis? Her first ever touch at a World Cup was a beautiful and well taken pk! She debuted at the WC 2 minutes before the shootout started, how insane is that! I'm not sure why Vlatko calls her up when he never gives her any minutes. She had one chance to prove why she was there and she did phenomenal! I feel bad for her because it seemed like she was very ecstatic to have made the roster for the first time at age 32 & perhaps it may be her last. She only got 2 minutes on the field & 1 touch on the ball just to get disqualified. I feel for her, she deserved better. Hope her & Sanchez are doing okay

What happened? summed it up- just not good enough, on so many fronts, and yes, some players just kicked butt and Alyssa was one of the stars, and Emily and Naomi. But at the end of the day, four goals over four games is just not good enough. Thanks for being so honest, you two have lived it and are able to speak to this more than anyone.

That's what happens when your supposed leaders are more worried about bs politics. Rapinoe choking on her penalty shot was so fitting. She deserves all her criticism.

Goalies and defenders got better and US attackers have been found out with their lack of sophisticated approach in breaking down defence and playing long balls as if Abby Wambach is still playing

What an incredibly fascinating look into the sport science side of the team. I could watch two more hours of Dawn.

Bravo for the heart and soul of your love for the team. Our hearts break right along side yours. It’s time to heal and move forward. Thank you for your honesty and devotion. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great episode. Both Tobin and Christen missed penalties in games they lost in major tournaments. I hope in the next episode they talk about how to bounce back from that as a player. Like I’d love to see words of wisdom passed down to a Sophia Smith for example.

We lost the game and I was crushed and stunned and my next thought was, this week’s re-cap show is gonna be good

Tobin was so honest.

I could listen to Dawn talk about this stuff all day!

YES TO TOBIN’S FIRE! YES TO SHOUTING OUT ALYSSA AND SONNETT!!!
