1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to good game of Sarah Spain where we feel

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: like we're talking to a brick wall.

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just a Katrin Berger.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: It's Friday, November fourteenth, and on today's show, Yes, we'll

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: be talking to Gotham FC goalkeeper and Katrin Berger about

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: her team's unbelievable upset of the top seed at Kansas City, Current,

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: her prep for this weekend's NWSL semifinals, falling in love

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: with your teammates and more, plus a pair of peak

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: performances standing in the way of a double double, And

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: with our sincerest apologies to Dion Warwick.

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: Do you know the way to San Jose?

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: It's all covered up right after this Welcome back slices,

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Happy Friday. Here's what you need to know today. Let's

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: start with the NWSL and this weekend's semi final matchups

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: a spot in the NWSL Championship in San Jose on

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: the line. On Saturday, the two seed Washington Spirit hosts

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the three seed Portland Thorns. That's a twelve pm Eastern

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: kickoff at Rowdy Audi. The game sold out sixty four

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: hours after it was announced, breaking the club record for

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: quickest sellout, and home field will be an advantage. The

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Spirit are unbeaten in every home playoff match in club history.

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: A win Saturday would send them to their second straight

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: NWSL championship and fourth all time. Meantime, this is the

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: thorns tenth trip to the semi finals. They've advanced to

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: the semis more times than any other club has even

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: made the playoffs. In their thirty all time meetings with Portland,

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: Washington has won just five times, playing to nine draws

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: and sixteen losses in the other twenty five contests. But

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: two of those five Spirit wins came in the last

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: three matchups. Will Portland Sam Coffee, the midfield maestro, dictate

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: and control tempo or will Washington's Kroy Bethune, the midfield

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: mad woman, create chaos an opportunity for the Spirit and

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: perhaps the biggest question, will Trinity Rodman be healthy.

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: Enough to go?

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: The second semi final will see the eight seed Gotham

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: FC visit the defending champs, the four seed or Lando Pride.

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: That's a three pm Eastern kickoff on Sunday at Interncos Stadium.

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: The Pride are looking to become just the third team

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: in NWSL history to win back to back championships. And

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the first to do it since the North Carolina Courage

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: did it in twenty nineteen. As for Gotham, this will

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: be the third straight semi finals for them, who came

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: out of the bottom of the bracket to win it

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: all in twenty twenty three and are trying to find

45
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: that same magic this year out of the eighth spot.

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: Will they come in.

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Confident after one of the biggest upsets in league history,

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: were drained by the hype and excitement of last weekend's win.

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Will leading goalscorer Astere Gonzales be healthy enough to take

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the pitch after playing spectator in the opening round, and

51
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: will and Katrin Berger play hero once again in net

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: On the other side, Marta, last week I asked WWMD,

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: what will Marta do?

54
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: Oh?

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Just a casual seventy five yard solo run in the

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: ninety fifth minute to draw a penalty and sender teammate

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: Luana to the line to score first NWSL goal just

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: one month into returning to play after Hodgkins' loll foma treatment.

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: Stop it, Marta, We're running out of superlatives and space

60
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: in the book of low Or. Winners of the two

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: semi finals are set to meet in San Jose on

62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,079

00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:23,840

Speaker 2: be a UNC teammate.

111
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: Heather O'Reilly, also a first ballot inductee. She got the

112
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: news from former college coach Anson Dornce back on campus

113
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: at UNC. She thought she was there for a video

114
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: walk down memory Lane, but midway through the fake taping,

115
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: she was surprised with the news.

116
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 4: Take a listen, So come on down and so, yeah,

00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: So go on in.

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:19,719

00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: But I'm guessing you've seen the signs.

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: Bet.

123
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: Congratulations Heather, You're being inducted into the twenty twenty six

124
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: National Soccer Hall of Fame.

125
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 6: Guys, Oh my goodness, like Keith O'Reilly is a winner,

00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,559

00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: The line on O'Reilly is wherever she went, she won.

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: We'll have lots more on Heather O'Reilly and Tobinheath ahead

130
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: of their induction next May in Frisco, Texas to college

131
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: hoops and before we can get to this weekend's matchups,

132
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: I got a shout out to masterful performances on Wednesday night.

133
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: First a flu game from number sixteen Iowa States, Audie Crooks,

134
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: throwing up pregame, blowing up midgame. Crooks didn't want to

135
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: sit out, so she didn't tell her coaching team she

136
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: was sick. She just went out and dropped forty three

137
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: points in twenty minutes of action in the Cyclones ninety

138
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: seven to fifty.

139
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: Route of Valparaiso.

140
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: Forty three is a program record, and Crook's seventy one

141
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: straight games scoring in double figures is not just a

142
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: cyclonees mark, but the longest active streak in NCUBA women's

143
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: basketball too. Wednesday was a big night for Notre Dames

144
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Hannah Hidalgo as well. Remember when I said I had

145
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: questions about this Irish team because Hidalgo can't do it alone.

146
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe she can't, cause forty four points,

147
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: had sixteen steals in her team's eighty five to fifty

148
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: eight win over Akron.

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: The forty four points are a school record.

150
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: The sixteen steals an NC double, a record, breaking the

151
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: previous record of fourteen held by several players, including Old

152
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Dominion and WNBA standout Tisha Penicero. Hidalgo also added nine

153
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: rebus and four assists, made sixteen of twenty five shots,

154
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: three of six three pointers, and nine eleven free throws

155
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: in just twenty eight minutes on the court. Again, sixteen steals,

156
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: forty four points in twenty eight minutes insane.

157
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Who's going to be the third? These things always happen

158
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: in threes.

159
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: It could be South Carolina's Joyce Edwards, she's putting up

160
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: over eighteen points a game, or USC's Jazzy Davidson or

161
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: London Jones. Both of them are averaging seventeen and a

162
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: half points a game, and those folks are about to

163
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: face off Edward's on the number two game. Cocks take

164
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: on Davidson Jones and the number eight Trojans on Saturday.

165
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: That's a nine pm Eastern tip off on Fox and yeah,

166
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: I said, number eight Trojans.

167
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: More on that in a minute.

168
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: Also on Saturday, Hadalgo and the Irish look to stay

169
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: hot against number fourteen Michigan. That's a four pm Eastern

170
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: tip off on NBC one Top twenty matchup. On Sunday,

171
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: that's number ten NC State hosted number seventeen TCU at

172
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: one Eastern on ESPN. And a fun fact about the

173
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: ranked unranked matchups so far this season, no unranked upsets.

174
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Shout out to her Hoopstats and the newsletter Tullan's Treasures

175
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: for this stat. Heading into Thursday Night's action, ranked teams

176
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: were sixty three to zero against unranked teams, with an

177
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: average margin of victory of forty two.

178
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: Point nine points.

179
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: The big dogs are eating, y'all. Speaking of rankings, a

180
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: lot of movement this week. Not at the top yukon

181
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: stage number one, but USC jumped up ten spots to

182
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: number eight and Baylor jumped nine to number seven, in

183
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: part because of their win over Duke, which dropped eight

184
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: spots to number fifteen. We'll link to the full rankings

185
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: and the weekend schedule in the show notes to Hockey

186
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: and Earlier this week, the Hockey Hall of Fame ceremony,

187
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: which saw the induction of two Olympic standouts. US Olympic

188
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: star Wisconsin Great, gold medalist and two times silver medallist

189
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Brianna Decker was inducted, as well as Team Canada Olympic

190
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: star Harvard Great, three time gold medalist and one time

191
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: silver medalist Jennifer Botterill. Longtime Team Canada coach Danielle so

192
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Vajo became the first woman inducted in the Builders categor gray.

193
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: That's for folks who have helped grow and managed the game. Decker,

194
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: who's an assistant coach for the Minnesota Frost, was back

195
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: with her team quickly for their first preseason game Thursday

196
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: against the New York Sirens. The two teams are set

197
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: to meet again for another exhibition outing today at twelve Eastern.

198
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: We'll link to the full schedule of PWHL preseason matchups

199
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: this weekend and Monday ahead of opening night next Friday,

200
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: the twenty first to the Track, and even though we're

201
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: more than two years out from the twenty twenty eight

202
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: LA Games, I'm already pissed. LA twenty eight has released

203
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: the schedule for track and field, and organizers are bragging

204
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: about putting women first by scheduling the women's not men's

205
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: one hundred meter dash final on opening night.

206
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: Great.

207
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: It's a move, by the way, that will require all

208
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: three rounds of the women's one hundred to be competed

209
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: on the same day for the first time ever.

210
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: But Okay, while they're.

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: Busy patting themselves on the back for that, they better

212
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: get that hand back around out front to block the

213
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: incoming barrage of rotten fruit, because the current schedule all

214
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: but ensures that Sidney McLauchlin Lavroni can't try to do

215
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: the four hundred four hundred meter hurdle double. She's one

216
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: of the biggest names in the world, the greatest of

217
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: all time at the four.

218
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: Hundred meter hurdles.

219
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: She's won global gold in both events, but has never

220
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: competed in both at the same Olympics or World Championships.

221
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Doing the double in LA felt like everything she's been

222
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: working towards. Skipping the hurdles at this year's World Championships

223
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: to focus on the flat, but in order to do

224
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: both in LA she would have to run the four

225
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: hundred flat and four hundred hurdles on the same day

226
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: twice July eighteenth and twentieth, and that second day run

227
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: both in the same session.

228
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: McLauchlin Laarvoni's coach Bobby.

229
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: Cursey told the Orange County Register, quote, We're a sport

230
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: fighting for attention, so why do you make this decision.

231
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: This shows the weakness of our sport. We've got the stars,

232
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: but we don't get any help from the top end.

233
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: Quote.

234
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: We are literally years away, so plenty of time to

235
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: get this shit fixed.

236
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: LA twenty eight.

237
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Finally, don't forget. There's a lot going on this weekend.

238
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: The ANICA LPGA tournament continues today. Round one of the

239
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: NCAA Soccer Tournament kicks off this afternoon, and the official

240
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: first round of the NCAA Field Hockey Tournament gets going

241
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: today too, with second round games on Sunday. We got

242
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: to take a quick break when we come back. She's

243
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: a battie. It's a Katrin Berger next.

244
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: Joining us now.

245
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: She's the goalkeeper for Gotham FC and the German national team.

246
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: She earned her first call up to the German team

247
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, made her national team debut in twenty

248
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: twenty and helped Germany to a bronze medal at the

249
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Paris Games. After playing for clubs abroad, including Paris, sanger

250
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Man and Chelsea, she joined got Them in April twenty

251
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty four and recently extended her contract there through twenty

252
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: twenty six. NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year in her debut

253
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: NWSL season last year. Her SoC game is elite. It's

254
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: an Katrin Berger. Hi, An Katrine.

255
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, do.

256
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: Your friends call you the full name An Katrine?

257
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: No, just my mom. If I'm in trouble, okay, is

258
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: it akb?

259
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: Is it Anne?

260
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: Most of the time, it's just Anne.

261
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sticking with Ann and take us to pregame

262
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: last Sunday.

263
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: Your eight seed Gotham team is readying to play the

264
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: top seeded Kansas City Current.

265
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: They're a buzz.

266
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: They had insane regular season, so few people are giving you,

267
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: or really any team a chance to beat them in

268
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

269
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: What is the vibe in the locker room?

270
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 5: I would say, obviously it's good because we won and

271
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 5: nobody expected it from us, and I think that's always

272
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 5: the case. It doesn't matter if you're going to playoff

273
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 5: games or in general, just knock out games. I think

274
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 5: that's where do you never know what happens because it's

275
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 5: one off game, and whoever wakes up and turns up

276
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 5: in the right way, then that's the team who most

277
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 5: of the time wins. So and that's why I absolutely

278
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 5: love a good playoff or knockout games because you never

279
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 5: know what happens.

280
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Oh, you get up for the big ones. Okay, I

281
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: kind of like that shirt. I think you need to

282
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: make that shirt. Wake up, turn up win. That's a

283
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: good mantra. Was anybody given good pregame speeches? Do you

284
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: remember anybody in particular being superficety before that one?

285
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 5: No, not really, because we just turned up as a

286
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 5: team and we maybe put less pressure on us because

287
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 5: nobody is expecting us. So I think we knew that,

288
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 5: especially because the last game of the season was not

289
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 5: the way we wanted to end it, and obviously we

290
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 5: didn't want to end up on eighth place and play

291
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 5: against the biggest team in the for that season. But

292
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, I think you always

293
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: have to play against everyone to win, So it doesn't

294
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 5: matter if you do it at the beginning or at

295
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: the end. And I think with that kind of mentality,

296
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 5: we just went into that game.

297
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: In the US, we say to be the best, you

298
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: got to beat the best? Do you have that saying

299
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: in Germany? Uh?

300
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

301
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: How does it go? In German?

302
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: And spitzed the problem was best slang?

303
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: Okay, all I got was schlang clang.

304
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, schlag is like to fight against the bigger team.

305
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

306
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: So it's ninety sixth minute of that game, your team

307
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: is up one nil.

308
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: You could taste the.

309
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Semi finals and Ellie Wheeler scores. How do you stay

310
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: positive and focused after giving up the equalizer so that

311
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: you can then go on to make those insane crucial

312
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: saves that you made in extra time?

313
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 5: I think I was very disappointed in myself, not the team.

314
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 5: For me, it never matters what happens before if I

315
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 5: had to do one save or ten saves or anything.

316
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: But I know I should have saved that ball, and

317
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: I misjudged it or like I thought someone else was

318
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 5: in the perfect position. So I can go maybe a

319
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: little bit more over. So that's why for me it

320
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 5: was a huge disappointment because on a normal day it

321
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: wouldn't gone in otherwise I would have been even more disappointed.

322
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: So that's why, And I know.

323
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 5: That my team was like working really really hard throughout

324
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: the whole game and continuing a goal like that, Yeah,

325
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: it's hard, especially because it was like only one minute

326
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: left maybe, but after that we just had to like

327
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 5: we just had to step up, and we I think

328
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 5: personally and we quite dominated the game, like we most

329
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 5: of the time one hour battles. Maybe the chances were

330
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: a little bit fifty to fifty, but like I think

331
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: we had more control of the game.

332
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: That's how it felt.

333
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: And we just had to get their attitude back again

334
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 5: because obviously the last ten minutes we just s tried

335
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: to defend and to get back to this organization and

336
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: like willingness to play again football. It is tough, but

337
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 5: I think we managed that really really well.

338
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: As a keeper, you have to have a short memory.

339
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: You're going to get credit occasionally for the big, flashy saves,

340
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: but most of the time you just don't want to

341
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: be talked about, which means that things went pretty well.

342
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: But when you have a moment like that, do you have.

343
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: A mantra you say in your head, do you have

344
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: any sort of tools from sports psychologists or otherwise to

345
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: get you back into Okay, I'm disappointed, but forget about it.

346
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: Moving forward to got to get back in the right headspace.

347
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 5: Not really like I I always tell myself, Okay, I

348
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: will do the analysis after the game, okay.

349
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: Because right now it doesn't matter.

350
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 5: Maybe when the book goes from my goal than to

351
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: the halfway line, maybe I will think about it really quick.

352
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: Could have done something different or why did they go in?

353
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 5: But it's like really just split seconds. And then after

354
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 5: that I just have to move on and then trying

355
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 5: to do if it's a mistake of mine, maybe passing

356
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 5: or anything that I will then keep the first three

357
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 5: to five balls very simple, and then I go again.

358
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 5: That's how I get my confidence and make sure that

359
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: I'm in the right space, and just like emphasize that

360
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 5: a little bit more.

361
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: That makes sense.

362
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: I get back in your body a little bit with

363
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: just some easy touches and get in the motion back.

364
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: How much did you all allow yourselves to celebrate before

365
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: thinking about what was next.

366
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 5: Honestly, we celebrated because I think if not then something

367
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 5: would have been wrong with us, especially because after such

368
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 5: a huge game. But I think there was like one

369
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 5: comment that I saw then that what got filmed that

370
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 5: Rose said in the huddle, like we can celebrate now,

371
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 5: but then tomorrow is a next game, and we all

372
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: know that because we can celebrate in the moment, and

373
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 5: as soon as we travel home or travel again.

374
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 3: The next day, then that's a new fresh start.

375
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 5: Like we can't just stay happy and stay like, oh,

376
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 5: we already won everything because we beat the favorite. So

377
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 5: that's why I think it was a nice saying, and

378
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 5: I absolutely love it because you have to. You have

379
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 5: to celebrate everyone because otherwise, at some point you would

380
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 5: take it for granted, and that's the worst scenario that

381
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 5: could happen.

382
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also, only one team every year gets to

383
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: celebrate the last one. So if you're not celebrating along

384
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: the way, you're depriving yourself of all those moments of accomplishment.

385
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: Enjoyed the chat with your teammates.

386
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Along the way, tell us about the game day sucks

387
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: last weekend.

388
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 5: I'm a huge home alone friand I absolutely loved that

389
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 5: movie since I was a little child, really, and yeah,

390
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: I absolutely love the saying underneath my socks because it

391
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: felt like it was perfect. Maybe not like the chunk

392
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 5: of food or like I'm eating rubbish, but like if

393
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: you want me to stop, then come and get me.

394
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: And as soon as Christmas time as well, so it

395
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 5: was like a perfect match.

396
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: Wait, so tell us what your socks said specifically, I.

397
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 5: Think down the line it was I'm I'm watching.

398
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: I think it's like that I'm eating junk and watching rubbish.

399
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: Coming stopish or something like that.

400
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you.

401
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: Like the message in general, maybe not the eating rubbish,

402
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: but you got to stop me was the part that

403
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: spoke to you.

404
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

405
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: How do you pick your socks for every game? Is

406
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: it just vibes?

407
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

408
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 5: Most of the time, it's just how I feel and

409
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 5: what I think is perfect, maybe for the area or

410
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 5: like sometimes just like for the outfit and how I

411
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 5: how I feel myself if it's a business kind of day,

412
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: or if it's like a fun day or just any mess.

413
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 5: But I have to think about something new now because

414
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 5: I'm running out of socks and getting more expensive now.

415
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: So well, if you put that out there, I get

416
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: the feeling some fans will send you some if you

417
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: say that you're running low. I think the Gotham fans

418
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: will show up. You've been playing club soccer since the

419
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: age of four. Did you love it from day one?

420
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely loved it.

421
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 5: I fall in love with soccer when I watched the

422
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: first time my dad playing with soccer. So he played

423
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 5: for like a really rubbish team, like a Sunday League team.

424
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 5: But then when my mom and me we went to

425
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 5: his game, the first time, I run on the pitch

426
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 5: even the game was like still playing and everything because

427
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 5: I just wanted to play. And ever since then, Yeah,

428
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: my parents were really surprised that I really liked it

429
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 5: that much. And I was always like falling asleep with

430
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 5: a ball or like I had to I had to

431
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 5: clean my ball to take it to bed, and yeah,

432
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: and then ever then I just couldn't stop having a

433
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 5: ball around me.

434
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: Really, you've played just about every position before you had

435
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: a growth spurt and it pushed you into net. How

436
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: do you think that experience playing other spots on the

437
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: field has helped you as a keeper?

438
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

439
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 5: Mentally, I think I really I would advise every single one,

440
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 5: every single goalkeeper to play outfield first as long as possible,

441
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 5: maybe not as late now as sixteen, but like do

442
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: a good age till like thirteen fourteen. I've really advised

443
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 5: people doing that because it just gives you, like the

444
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 5: knowledge of every single position, Like this is how you

445
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 5: then play the ball to like a center back, because

446
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 5: I know how it feels like if that kind of pass,

447
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: I give how that makes it or give them comfort

448
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 5: or not or anything like that. But then like playing

449
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 5: out or playing forward and going to like long going

450
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 5: to a strike or what do they need? And you

451
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 5: just like can put yourself in that position because you

452
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 5: already played in that position. It doesn't matter if it

453
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: was as a kid or anything. Football is still the

454
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 5: same most of the time. That ten in front of

455
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 5: you will score, hopefully your striker, because that's the best

456
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 5: one to score goals. But besides that, like you and

457
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 5: then you also be more tidy and understanding that you

458
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 5: could prevent so much more before the ball actually ends

459
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 5: up in your eighteen yard box.

460
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: And I'm a big believer in that.

461
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you devoted your life to this game since you

462
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: were four years old, and in twenty seventeen you get

463
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: diagnosed with thyroid cancer. You went into remission, and then

464
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: it came back in twenty twenty two. Was there ever

465
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: a time the first diagnosis or second where you believed

466
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to keep playing so and you

467
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to stay out on the pitch.

468
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 5: The only time where I stopped believe in it was

469
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 5: when I got the first time the diagnosis, because that's

470
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 5: the only time, but I didn't know what to expect.

471
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 5: But then after that, the doctors made it very very

472
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 5: clear that you can keep doing what you do, do your.

473
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: Work as normal.

474
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 5: Maybe you have like a little bit of like trouble

475
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 5: sometimes because of your the thyroid levels or anything, but

476
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 5: besides that, there's literally nothing that can hold you back.

477
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 5: And that for me, that message was for me then

478
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 5: clear that the first time I came back, then even

479
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 5: the second time. Yes, it's annoying because it doesn't happen

480
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 5: maybe as often, but besides that, like I've never doubted

481
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 5: that I can't play soccer, and because it's a big

482
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 5: part of me, that's why I wouldn't let my illness

483
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: taking away my passion what I had for over so

484
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 5: many years.

485
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, did your diagnosis help you change your perspective on

486
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: life and even maybe help you in net?

487
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 5: I have to say on the pitch for sure, because

488
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 5: for me, soccer was everything literally like when I was

489
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 5: when I played, and I did mistakes, so anything like

490
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 5: it dragged me down quite a lot. But after my illness,

491
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 5: I started to realize there's so many bigger things than football,

492
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 5: and for me, that's why I put everything in perspective.

493
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 3: And I think that also gave me the freedom.

494
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 5: A little bit to play how I want to play,

495
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 5: and if there's a goal, yes I will be disappointed,

496
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 5: but like my life still goes on. Yeah, And I

497
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 5: think that was the biggest lesson I've learned from all

498
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 5: of it. And then not off the pitch as well,

499
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 5: Like I always thought people who are a little bit

500
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 5: more out there, they are untouchable because you always see

501
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 5: like the great things, but never like the weaknesses.

502
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 3: And that's why sometimes.

503
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 5: Maybe I've got a little bit naive, people would call

504
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 5: it maybe also like I just thought, yeah, nothing can

505
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: happen to me besides injury based.

506
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 3: So that's why I think that was also.

507
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: In a weird way, a good way to keep me

508
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 5: a bit little bit also grounded.

509
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: I'm not that special.

510
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: Humbled you a little bit, you realized you're human. Yeah, Well,

511
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: one of the things off the pitch that brings you

512
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of joy that's worth going home to even

513
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: when you make a mistake.

514
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: Is your fiance Jess Carter.

515
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: You guys met back in twenty sixteen playing for Birmingham

516
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: City FC. Across the pond. You moved in together as

517
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: play Tonic roommates. I love this story so much. Jess

518
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: thought she was straight, but you had other plans. Tell

519
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: me about getting up the nerve to first ask her

520
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: out on a date that she didn't realize it was

521
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: a date, and then eventually have to say, I guess

522
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to just try to kiss her and

523
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: see if I can make it a little more clear

524
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: that I want to be more than roommates.

525
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just I didn't even see her in

526
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 5: that way. So it was just like probably like I

527
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 5: over the years, I fall in love in a person.

528
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 5: So for me that was most of the time the

529
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 5: most important thing. And a lot of people know now

530
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 5: we probably didn't even like each other at the beginning,

531
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 5: because she had her besties and yeah, and that's why

532
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 5: after a while a friend of ours, she just liked

533
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 5: the birthday party at home, and that's why then we

534
00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 5: started talking. And even then we were just and the end.

535
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 5: Then at some point something changed and a friend of

536
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 5: mine she just told me, maybe you should just take

537
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 5: her out. And then I was a little bit blass

538
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 5: about it, because yeah, I don't make a big deal

539
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 5: of a lot of things. So maybe the signs were

540
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 5: not as big, but like they were still big.

541
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: I think I think you thought it was clear it

542
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: was a date, but she didn't get it.

543
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's why.

544
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then from there, I just like that we

545
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 5: became friends and then a little bit more than friends.

546
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: And now you're engaged.

547
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: Gotham is the third stop for YouTube Playing together. How

548
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: is it sharing life and the pitch with your partner?

549
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 5: For us, there's always every time when we go to

550
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: training or to games, it is not my partner as

551
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: my teammate, and we always are separated. That and maybe

552
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 5: it also has that I'm in a completely different position

553
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 5: than her because goalkeepers have a different routine than our

554
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 5: fear players, and that's why we were always Yeah, after

555
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 5: every training session we literally went to the car and said, like,

556
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 5: how was your day? Even though we maybe worked together,

557
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 5: but we don't see each other as much or we're

558
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 5: just hanging out with other people. And then Yeah, we're

559
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 5: just then trying to be as normal as possible and

560
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 5: it's just a job. And then at home that's where

561
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: we can be us. And yeah, it was very clear

562
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 5: from the beginning that.

563
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: It would work out.

564
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and also that we separated, we were on the

565
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 5: same page as well.

566
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's for Norman's. It's like we work in different departments.

567
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: It's fine of the same company. What about when you're

568
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: not teammates though, just playing for England, you playing for Germany.

569
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: How's that going to go?

570
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 5: I think it only happens twice, I think, And yeah,

571
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: it's fine. It's literally like work is. Yes, at the

572
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 5: end of the day, if someone wins and someone loses,

573
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 5: then we're just like happy for each other. But besides that,

574
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 5: I think we're very chilled people and we're not like

575
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 5: taking it in home. And I was like, oh, do

576
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 5: you remember that I did this to your teammate or

577
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 5: anything like that. So we're not that kind of people.

578
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 5: And I think that's why it works really well with

579
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 5: separating the private life with our work life. And sometimes

580
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 5: this is funny as well because we know our strength

581
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 5: and weaknesses. So if that will ever happen, and I

582
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 5: hope not, because I don't see the reason why that

583
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: we play against each other and she will pop up

584
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 5: in the eighteen yard books, then I'm very concerned for

585
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 5: the other team because that's where she shouldn't be as

586
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 5: a defender.

587
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: Very true, very true.

588
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: Uh, you got engaged last year. Do you have a

589
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: wedding date on the books yet?

590
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: No?

591
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 5: Not really, like we Yeah, we're just taking our time

592
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 5: and we're just just wait to see. And because obviously

593
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: the football plans are always like different, That's why hard.

594
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 5: It's very very hard to plan them because now we

595
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 5: get more and more competition getting in and I think

596
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 5: that's where it's it's quite tough too, and especially because

597
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 5: we are out here as well, it's quite tough to

598
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 5: then would plan in a wedding or anything like that.

599
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 5: From right from the other side of the punt.

600
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: You got three countries involved. You got England, you got Jermaney,

601
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: you got the US and then all your.

602
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: Teammates from everywhere else too.

603
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

604
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: So this weekend you got last year's champions, Orlando Pride.

605
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: How do you start to prepare for someone like Marta.

606
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 5: I think it's it's the same as Kansas individual players.

607
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 5: They're brilliant and sometimes you can't stop then individual. And

608
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 5: I think that's where I absolutely love my team, because

609
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 5: I think it's about the team performance. It's not about

610
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 5: and if everyone if Marta with her brilliance like just

611
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 5: trick someone out and get past someone, then we know

612
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 5: there's a second one that would then try to stop her.

613
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 5: And I think that's what we always try to do

614
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 5: as a as a team, as a collective, to stop

615
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 5: these kind of players. And yeah, but also we don't

616
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 5: have to be as afraid because we have also very

617
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 5: very good players and because now maybe people are taking

618
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 5: us a little bit more serious because we stop cancers

619
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 5: who nobody expected. I think that's why we then also

620
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 5: can take that a little bit respect into that game

621
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 5: as well. Yeah, because at the end of the day,

622
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 5: you always have to respect your opponent because otherwise you,

623
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 5: from my experience, you underestimate them.

624
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: New socks for this weekend we haven't picked.

625
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 5: Out yet, no, and we're actually traveling tomorrow, so yeah,

626
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 5: I'm a little bit stressed with that, but I have

627
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 5: to see why I still have left and then we

628
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 5: go from there.

629
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: All right, go find your socks.

630

Speaker 1: You know, last time Gotham FC won it all was

631
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,240

632
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence for another run from the bottom

633
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: of the bracket this year.

634
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,880

00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,000

Speaker 1: does think that fouling Caitlin Clark is a hate crime,

655
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,000

683
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: their pjs and coats, stumbling along the beach, staring up

684
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: at the sky. Really, the perfect romcom meet cute waiting

Speaker 1: the lapping waves of Lake Michigan. Peaceful, quiet, romantic. Really,

688

689
