Tobin and Christen are so different but complement each other perfectly. The level of intelligence and value added comments from both of them just goes to show that athletes themselves provide the most unique and insightful analysis. I LOVE this show!
My god. Tobin’s practically cracking the secret code as to what the USWNT needs to get back on top. This is like gold. Whoever the next coach is ought to take notes from the recap show.
I love how Press essentially translates for the rest of the world when Tobin gets really passionate. Love their dynamic and their analysis of the sport.
I love how Press is the excited and super proud older sister, you can clearly see the love and natural mentor/mentee relationship with Alyssa. Great to see the shy and talented Alyssa have a cool and similar "older sis" who plays on the same NSWL team with.
My favorite part about what makes this show so different is the dynamic between Tobin, Christen, and their guests. It just feels like such a free, authentic conversation that provides such insight to those of us who don't know what's going on behind the scenes. I can't watch any other commentary show now - they just don't cut it
Tobin shots fired! (she’s not wrong about that missed player transition) Sav Demelo caught a stray but, its not her fault. What happened to Ashley Sanchez still makes me angry. Poor player management ALL over the place. They are too damn talented to not be developed properly. And again, Tobin is right we can’t waste years of the prime of our players with a coach who is also learning.
@@heppolo Yeah, people can draw unfounded conclusions. There's no reason a team can't have success and respect at the same time. Look at Bev Priestman with Canada or Tony Gustavsson with Australia. France looks better than they have in years after swapping Diacre for Renard, and that happened only a few months ago. But I am sure a lot of people will think the Spanish federation was right to keep Vilda in charge. It's not just football, either. There's a culture-wide willingness to forgive bad behavior from talented people. I don't agree with that. I think there is always someone who can do the job just as well without being an asshole. At least with Vlatko I think it's easy to identify the poor decisions themselves and not think that things would have worked if only he weren't so nice.
We are almost to 50,000 subs! We ALL want another episode, where are you at?! Tobin’s not going to give us what we want unless we reach 50K! Also, Tobin and Christen’s expertise could really be used in the USWNT coaching position! I love hearing their perspectives of football and the way that they explain it! 🧡🧡🧡
I really loved this episode so much. I really appreciate Tobin explaining how you don’t just shove out the veterans but rather it should be a passing of a torch. Being a long time fan of this generation, I felt personally accosted by this “transition”, so I can’t even imagine was the actual players felt. Tobin really nailed it so perfectly. This show continues to be such a gift. I hope it lives on after the World Cup.
Thank you Tobin and Christen for another wonderful show. Thank you Tobin for honestly sharing your insight and analysis about the USWNT program. I thought your comments explaining generational transition and not hiring a coach that has to learn international soccer while our younger players learn was brilliant. Thank you Tobin and Christen for all you do to promote soccer and bring people together through the love of the sport.
I love how Kristen moderates here. Great way to ask clarifying questions to Tobin. Tobin thanks for sharing your mind. Love how you guys love and support the young players it’s beautiful to see. ❤
Daily Discussion Part 2 is sooooo good. The clarity & insight that Tobin provides on what's needed for the USWNT is so well-thought out and interesting. This is one of the best sports recap/analysis shows out there, period.
Hi Girls, As a Brit I do not usually watch US "soccer" shows which seem to be aimed solely at American viewers although posted internationally on RU-vid. In contrast, although I was waiting for the Flag waving and National anthem playing you both came across as consummate professionals who knew the game inside and out and all your comments seemed considered and unbiased. So I hope my new subscription will help in a very little way to your goal of 50k subscribers. Looking forward to your World Cup Final review and of course, praising England's success LOL
@@maddiea-t6n The term "soccer" was actually imvented by the English 😉 Anyhow I was referring to the part of the initial comment that mentioned YT...It's normal that on YT US "soccer" shows be posted since YT is an American thing!
I feel like I say this every episode but I just love hearing them talk about football. Tobin perfectly vocalizes what I think but don’t know how to put into a words, her insight of what is needed for team to be successful is fascinating. She knows what she is talking about. Also, I love how they make it such a comfortable space for their guests, how conversation just flows easily between them all, how they add their own stories but it doesn’t take away anything from their guests. Just perfect and I’m gonna miss it 😭 amazing job ❤
I’m a Press fan , After 30 years of being a USWNT FAN . I would say Press was the finest Stricker in the world when she was at the top of her game. I hope you get back that form when the Olympics come around . I have much more to say as a fan about the USWNT, you may not like all but what the heck.
Let’s thank Tobin for FINALLY mentioning the 50k youtube subs thing ON youtube lol. Great episode. All the coaching, team dynamics and NT conversation was the best.
You guys have such a great dynamic when approaching this.. tobin is really good at the detailed soccer stuff and christen is phenomenal at getting the conversation moving with both tobin and the guest
This is the first Third Place game I am super excited for.. Australia the hosts get to be celebrated with a medal to play for, Sam Kerr fit to start and coached by the Swede Tony G going against his home country. A very strong and dangerous Sweden side who feel like they were the better team and should be in the final. Going to be an absolute blast!
Totally agree with Alyssa: Tobin & Christen are soooo damn inspiring, and have been for soooo long. I watch this show for the convos with their guests & the illuminating insights into team culture, tactics, & cohesion; but also with a bit of melancholy - since they carefully avoid any talk concerning their own playing futures. Hoping to seeing them both in fine form soon & back to playing that ‘old school dominating American-style soccer that we love! 🇺🇸⚽️🇺🇸
Another insightful show. Thank you Tobin and Christine. I would love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve our youth player development going forward. Are we in danger of falling behind the European powers if we don't move to a longer season, improved tactical play and club academies based on talent not pay. With all your experience in playing at home and abroad I would love for you to go over key improvements going forward. I am so impressed with Tobins ability to share her understanding of the program with us. Christine was awesome in guiding the conversation. Thank you for openly expressing your thoughts and feelings.
tobin has hosted a couple of live events within the Re-inc membership community where she did commentary on USWNT past friendlies. Watching the match with Tobin commenting was quite an amazing experience. Her soccer IQ and brain is just mind blowing. Hoping she does this again in the future because those lives were so insightful and a joy to listen to because of tobin.
It's been so interesting to hear on these episodes the perspectives of players who are at different stages, whether they're retired like Holiday or just starting out like Thompson.
Best insight into both of the games ive heard so far. Most commentary of heard on these games so far feels like they've been watching a different game to me! Amazing work!!
For Alyssa, you mention a lot of negative thoughts you had during this year on the national team such as nervousness during your first games to the feeling of loneliness away at the World Cup although your teammates did help with that. Something that struck me right away was how infectious your smile was and how a person who looks so happy and enjoying themselves could question their own ability. I think that is a valuable asset to the team in the future because even if you are playing with veteran players I think that passion and joy you naturally show, even if it isn't your inner thoughts, will influence those around you and help them to step up to the next level. I look forward to watching your games when you are back in the NWSL and I wish you luck getting to the finals of playoffs. For Tobin and Christen, I really appreciate these insights you have given us to the various players you have on as guests but especially so for the new players into the USWNT. It was really apparent listening to that interview that I didn't know much at all these days. I started following the USWNT in 2011 and there was a lot of familiarity from WC to WC it seems like. Coming into this WC and hearing a quick segment about a player before the match didn't quite do them justice. As a personal example during the tournament was when Lynn Williams was first playing and people were questioning her being there. I live in NC and had spent many years watching her be so instrumental to the Courage's success that I couldn't fathom someone ever doubting her ability. Seeing them in these type of interviews where they are comfortable opening up and sharing stories that give insights to who they are as a person I think is so important for helping the fanbase to connect to the upcoming players and I hope to see more of them in the future. This tournament has shown myself lacking in my following as well after the past few years I hadn't kept up following the league or players, so many of these new additions were surprises even if there were a few that I knew from my own time watching. I have figured out the streaming situation with the games now and my plan is to try to follow as many of the games as I can so that by Olympics or next World Cup I don't need those pregame segments to understand what to expect from a player. Also as a side note for Tobin, you mentioned that in one your WCs (2019 I think you said) that you were doing a lot of selfless running down the sidelines and you felt like it went unseen. I just want to let you know that we did see you and always appreciate the effort you put in playing for us.
You all have done something amazing with this show. Bravo. Tobin, I grew up in Chapel Hill and was a ball girl on the sidelines back in the day while you were playing. It's so cool to see how far you've come :)
Another great show,ladies! It just gets better and better. Alyssa is one for our future. Amazing game that she has. Hopefully we'll have a better coaching staff in the next few years to guide her.
Tobin Heath has got a good football brain she should be a Coach she might not think its for her but that what most great managers said More ex Us world cup players need to go into coaching
Honestly love all the guests they've had on this show. It's so refreshing, interesting, and varied perspectives of people who really care about soccer and girl's opportunities to play.
I think it was the quality of passing. Spain and England are excellent passing teams. The days of long ball or kick and run are over. It's not enough to be technical on the ball there must be an end product whether it's the pass that splits the defence or the pass the gives a striker a good opportunity for the tap in.
It’s being sad to see the Vilda situation here in Spain as the team wins. A lot of entitled mysoginistic men commanding the players to apologize to him. Men that I doubt watch women soccer at all or have actually bother to understand the situation. There are still some really good players out, so it’s not that everything is solved.
Magnificent episodes and so detail in lineups, pk's, formations. Seems so comfortable in these. Sam Kerr Goal of the World Cup, too bad she was playing with a calf injury plus sitting out which bought the country down a bit. Rachel Daly throw in which was perfect that lead up to england first goal. Tobin and Christen chemistry in these are perfect. Our players need to play in the women futbol leaue in england. don't forget this team will be in a netflix documentary following their world cup journey
Awww, Alyssa is lovely isn’t she? Wish she were English!! I feel that Lauren James has a swagger that is thus far not earned, yet Alyssa is grounded and as yet still humble? Some very very interesting points made in this episode, thanks.
Really appreciate how real Tobin and Christen and Alyssa were. This is an awesome show. Also, I recently learned that 19th-century one-term president Martin van Buren was nicknamed "the little magician" so that's all I could think about when they called Alyssa that 😂
The mental aspect is really a game changer. I just wish that these players knew that they're elite, like, they're not on the team by mistake. Looking forward to the young stars in coming years
The knowledge and understanding Tobin has about soccer! 🔥 I’m sure she’ll become a manager and one day she’ll be leading the USWNT Also, talk about the way Alexia is the one who’s actually managing Spain. She’s the one giving instructions to everyone all the time! You should address a little more all the mess that is Vilda for Spain. This is a good platform to give a shoutout to the unfairness that is that some of the e bestie players in the world had to stay home because of this man.
I say this with the utmost love and respect. Tobin and Christen are giving off MAJOR rich gay aunt vibes, checking in on their favorite niece. I love it. I look forward to their commentary on Alyssa's career in the coming years. #proudgayaunts
Idk I feel like Sweden did look good but I never felt they would score. Spain looked like they would score especially when Salma came on. Jenny was a beast in this game.
