I am 73 years old. I started playing women's soccer in 1978 and stopped in 2013. I have friends who are still playing in national tournaments. We were among the few who not only knew that the USWNT (such as it was) was in China playing a "world cup" in 1991 but we were looking for information on results from games -- no internet then! This show is SO terrific. The level of analysis, level of interviews/guests is just first rate. I knew I'd love it because Christen Press has ALWAYS been one of my favorite players and obviously Tobin Heath is one of the most technically proficient players the US has ever had but I had no idea that it would be so great in terms of how they approached all things having to do with women's soccer. The connection between the two of them, the laughs, the behind the scenes info has all been added delight. Please keep this going ... it has been wonderful
yes and it highlights exactly why the 2023 team did not win. What I am afraid of is the blame will all go onto the players - they were not good enough, fit enough, etc crap like that. Put the blame where is should be on the head coach who was so out of his league and ability!
I am 73 years old as well and obviously played a variety of sports before title 9. It was hard and you would often be vilified for wanting to play any sport. You stuck to it just for the love of it and tried to deal with the rest. Of course, that was if you even had any opportunities to begin with.
62 year old here. I agree with everything you said about this show and I wanted to say thanks! Girls were allowed to play little league in my town because of trail blazers like you!
I would like them to fire Alexei Lalas and hire Tobin Heath. Tobin brings more insightful commentary in five minutes than Alexei has contributed in his entire televisual career.
They already have that German lady and Carli Lloyd. Tobin should replace one of them. Cobi Jones should replace Alexi, he is incredibly knowlegeable about the game.
I can’t stand when Alexi says after every men’s World Cup where the us doesn’t win the cup that it was ultimately a failure. None of the US men are the best players on the European teams they play on. A little perspective would be nice.
Alexi is a loud mouth idiot. My parents who are huge soccer (football) fans despise that man. He annoys the hell out of me. Heath and Press would be awesome as commentators (hosts?)
Wow I can't believe we got to hear from current and former captains of Wales, Jamaica, Netherlands, Sweden, England, New Zealand, and of course the United States all in one place! Phenomenal show! We've been so spoiled this past month. I'm gonna miss it.
Thank you Christen and Tobin for using your privilege as USWNT players to amplify the story of Jamaica and make sure their stories are being heard and put out there. This is leadership.
It’s great to hear Horan acknowledge that there were issues with how the team was set up by the coaching staff but still taking responsibility for improving those things she had control over. Class.
Congrats on using your platform to bring attention to the Jamaican team, they deserve the professionalism teams are now getting. This is the message that needs to be elevated and heard so thank you #ReggaeGirls
Thank you Tobin and Christen for reimagining women' sports commentary. Now that we have the re-cap show we cannot go back to the ridiculous men commentators like Alexei Lalas. Your show had substance. I learned so much about the behind the scenes of women's soccer and you showed the world how professional women athletes are. Every episode was fascinating and fun! You truly put your heart and soul into this show and I am grateful for that. I look forward to seeing what else you will produce. Go Gal culture!
The guests, the discussions, the analysis are always topnotch. Thank you Tobin and Christen for making this show. I hope you can comeback soon for more shows like this.
Nailed it again. Lindsey said so much about the coaching deficiencies without having to say much. She is such a force on the pitch. Great job as captain. Please, continue to enrich us with intelligent conversations and insights. This is a whole new level of sports coverage that assumes your listeners are intelligent and engaged. Sports is so much more than just what happens during game action, the people involved are individuals with perspectives and experiences that make them who they are as players. Learning about this side of them just makes watching that much more enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you for lifting up the women giving their all for whatever badge they are wearing.
Yes and we need the open honesty to come out from the players - US soccer needs to ask the players to give a full honest accounting as what they lacked going into the tournament and I think we all knew what it would be. For years veteran soccer fans could see the lack of JOY on the Nat women's team - they were not a group who knew how to play and win! You must ask WHY! You just can not put so many new untested players in key positions without experience in knowing what your team mate is going to do! All great teams know how to anticipate the ball and the team mate! We want more gold - get a coach who will bring in Jill's staff and that will look at the methods and plan that made us great! Sorry guys but we do not need a man's ego right now as a coach for the women's team!
sad to know this is the final episode but also grateful i got to be part of the ride! such a well formatted show and such great hosts, thanks for all your hard work!!
I so have appreciated your insights particularly your incredible knowledge of every aspect of the game. As a 78 year old woman who played “soccer” in its infancy in the U.S. circa 1979-80 it is a joy. Your strength, confidence and your investment in advancing gal culture is wonderful to witness. Please consider keeping your podcast going because you provide a welcome platform for women even to expand its topics. Thank you😊
I’m glad Horan pointed out that the players weren’t set up to succeed. That’s what many have been saying, Vlatko didn’t manage the team well. It’s not the ingredients but the chef.
When I first saw the promo for the recap show and heard ‘gal culture’ I kinda rolled my eyes. But oh was I wrong! Over these 8 episodes y’all have created something truly special, something I didn’t even know I wanted. This really is a reimagined sports show. Please keep making more!
This show is everything I wish every sports show (men's or women's) achieved. Congrats to Christen and Tobin for putting on such a wonderful show - it made every round of the tourney even more fun.
I say we circle back to the first ep and bring back the daily debate so that Tobin can redeem herself on the bonus ep haha. I'm so grateful to have had this show and to get some insight into what some of the strongest minds in the game are talking about. I learned a lot and can't wait for the next installment from Re-inc!
These ladies are doing something special beyond football. Creating their own space in media, art, clothes,etc… brilliant. Wish them the best, and hope that it continues to grow in a wholesome and organic way. Best of luck and congrats. PS: hope to see CP23 with ACFC soon and maybe the Olympics.
I've enjoyed watching this show. I'll be one of the co-captains for Special Olympics soccer next season. It's amazing for that to happen because I got the captain's armband passed down from one of my teammates. Just an amazing moment for me to be recognized for my positivity and leadership. Really excited to take on the new role.
Yes Allyson Swaby!!! Such a pleasant surprise! I love getting all of these world cup players and their perspectives/experience at the world cup. It really gives you an insiders view into the tournament spoken by the players themselves. This show is really one of one, and I'm thankful for it.
I am living for these personal tidbits, like Tobin and Lindsey Horan watching Vampire Diaries together! 😍 Also my heart melted a bit when Tobin said she was surprised how funny Christen has been during the show... and Christen's shock at Tobin's Eggo answer! They are so cute together.
I am an 86 year 0sold white man who totally loves women’s football. I love your show. You all are awesome. I watch NWSL, the Swedes (my ancestors), Dutch, French and Brits (also my ancestors). I’ve been a justice warrior since the 60s. It never ends. We keep fighting.
You had my smiling through the whole intro. Will miss that. LOVED the final. I thought when Earps made that PK save, England would march right down that field and score. Nope. It seemed Spain had posession for most of the game. And thank you both for introducing us to so many great people in your world. It was fun.
When this show started I thought "God I wish Tobin and Christen were bringing this quality on a big time network, it's so good!" now I see that "f&*K the big networks and build your own god damn house!" is the better way. Kudos to shinning a light on great stories and bringing intelligence and depth to soccer culture.
I'm sure it'll be said many times over, but thank you for this show. It was a welcome relief after every game to watch an episode and listen to athletes we enjoy and who know what they're talking about. It was very much appreciated.
Love this show to bits. It MUST continue in some form, whether for NWSL or other domestic league recaps, or USWNT game recaps or the upcoming Olympics or anything in between. Best Woso content available and your talent for this medium deserves further showcases. ❤ Please don’t leave us hanging for too long. 😢
All - I really, really enjoyed this show. To me, the sign of a great footballing show is that I finish a show and know more about the game then when I started. Your shows all did that for me. I also loved how you gave the spotlight to so many brilliant, brilliant minds in this game. I look forward to more from you all in the future.
LOL I love that Tobin’s Eggo waffles response totally threw Christen off. Definitely made me giggle! Please continue this amazing show!! I feel like there’s more to tell beyond the World Cup and from your deep network of strong, empowering, and inspirational people!
Thank you to Christen and Tobin and the recap team for this wonderful show. I love experiencing the joy in football! You guys had amazing guests, heartfelt stories, silly moments, angry rants, all while still prioritizing the joy of the game and holding these federations reliable. Thanks again 👏 Excited to see what happens in the future.
Another phenomenal show! My favorite thing has been the insights and stories that we won’t hear anywhere else. Having watched every episode more than once I am convinced of two things: Tobin Heath could easily slip into a coaching role, or at least player development. And we need a T-shirt “Lindsay Horan: limitless”
What an awesome series and program you both accomplished! Well done! Great way to end the WWC with two great guests. Lindsey will be a great captain again for this next cycle. As a father of a daughter who played football from age 4 through high school, I just want to say you're all doing a great thing for women in sports! Looking forward to where your show goes!!👏
Congratulations, Tobin and Christen and all of the people behind the scene who came together to produce such a great show. Well done! Do keep up the great work that you are doing to improve the standing of girls and women in sports, in business, in all walks of life. I can't wait to see what comes next for (and from) you two. BTW.. I 'm not young and just a bit embarrassed that I was so thrilled to come upon a soccer field (just by chance as I went for a walk) in Basking Ridge, NJ in Pleasant Valley Park, named in honor of Tobin Heath. How cool is that!
My absolute favorite show on YT!! Great commentary, guests and conversation! Just wanted to leave one of my favorite quotes of Trumen G Madsen. “It is a woman's gift to believe when men are unbelieving. It is a woman's power to hope when men are hopeless.”
I love this show so much. I wish that you guys were the commentators on games. I found this show from an article in the NY times and because of it I started watching the women's world cup, and I've watched every game from the round of 16 on. Thank you for the excellent commentary, insights, guests, everything! Looking forward to whatever comes next.
Sarena's England had barely beaten an up-and-coming Nigeria on pens, scraped through Colombia (with a goalkeeper gift), then Australia defence self-imploded. It was always on the edge.
"We kept going into rooms that said the revenue is not there, the interest isn't there, these are just the market realities. People don't want to watch women's sports. And you start to believe when they say it over and over. But, that's not true. We can go into different rooms and we can build rooms." Tobin Heath. Just wanted to add...really appreciated your insights into soccer, business, personal well being, culture... your voices are so important. Looking forward to watching (and supporting) as you build more rooms. THANK YOU.
I’m so glad there are such trusted voices telling lindsey what us fans want her to know. You can tell she was really listening too. We miss you in portland!!!
thank you so much for everything you all put into this show to make it possible 🧡 all of the insight, conversations, and analysis were incredible along with the roster of guests you brought in. each episode brought me so much joy and i can’t wait to see where it goes next!
I am a father of a 22 year old ex-soccer player. She and I enjoyed watching you two play all the time, so I figured why not watch your show. I have enjoyed it. Keep it up ladies. Nothing but respect.
What a ride! This has been so fun, insightful, and everything I didn’t know I was looking for in conversations about women’s soccer. Thank you for this, can’t wait to see where else this goes.
Thanks, Tobin and Christen. This is such a smart, entertaining show. I love hearing from women in all kinds of roles in women's football. I watched the USWNT twice in person at the World Cup, and no other analysis (except for the Arsenal coach's on Men in Blazers-- where he credits Tobin for her thoughts) comes close. I love the way you are amplifying the messages of so many women as you give us insight into the lives of professional footballers. I'm a woman in a male-dominated field, and even though I have absolutely no experience playing high-level sports, it's easy to see that you have provided the kind of leadership that women need and deserve. So thank you again.
Tobin, you are so right about not being able to find NWSL games!! I can find Premier league easy!! But can I find NWSL games…NO!! So difficult. Sick of it. Hope you can change it. Love this show!!
Lindsey is amazing!! I am looking forward to see what rhis team does under new direction. So much potential on this team and want to see the team enjoy playing :) ❤
I really love these episodes. Tobin you are a joy to hear, so much knowledge of football is just crazy, I really enjoyed that. Christen, your personality is just great if before The Recap Show you had my admiration as a player now is just total icing on the cake. Keep going, I can't wait to see what's next.
Tobin and Christen made an excellent point about Europe catching up to the US. The infrastructure was already there in Europe. Now, the FAs and clubs are putting resources and finances toward the women's side, so they're already able to compete for World Cups and Olympics. The US women have to had to build it from the ground up since the 1980s when the national team was established. US will have to invest more resources/money at club level and towards the national team to stay competitive. I'm curious if more players will go overseas to play in Europe or stay in the NWSL? I would love for NWSL to be huge, but I want our players playing against the best competition
It’s not the NWSL level that’s a problem, it’s the lower levels being nearly non-existent for young women. USSF just cancelled the minimal programs they did have, and now it’s only pay-for-play
I love this show and the different perspective on the game and just looking forward to more shows and interesting guests. Thank you so much for starting this memory for me, and so glad the U.S manager/coach has quit. So interested to see who the next manager will be and see what she/he does with the team.
The sky is the limit for you two. After the first two shows I wrote that they were the smartest and most interesting sports shows I’d ever seen. I also assumed (without saying it) that they couldn’t continue to be that good. Well, they did-and sometimes (like this last show), they even got better. I was never a soccer fan, but I’m a big fan of you both and what you’re working on with reMedia. It’s (past) time for women to get the recognition they deserve, and the ability to tell their stories themselves, in their own words and perspectives. I look forward to seeing more sports shows created by women that demonstrate just how good these shows can-and should-be. Like The reCap Show! Hope to see you soon.
This is such a great show! Sad this is the final episode of this edition, but I'm excited to see where Re-Media is heading and know that the content will be superb :)
Thank you both and the entire re-inc team for this amazing series and all the incredible coverage beyond the scoreline. I hope the show can return in some form because I would listen every week, there's always lots of WOSO matches/tourneys and big news going on. OMG could you imagine a 2024 Olympics show behind the scenes with Tobin and Christen on the USWNT roster! 💜
Omg so many comments this time but I am so obsessed with you guys haha that segment with The Great Limitless Horan was so awesome and I am just so stoked for her as a player - Our Captain!!!! Supes tender
Leaders lead under the worst conditions. That's what Lindsey did. ❤ Hope the USWNT learns a llot from this disappointment. Perhaps this will produce more belief in their spirits, and pride in their hearts. Afterall, they have four CUPS TO DATE, that no one can forget. I still believe in them, and support them. Great show ladies. Thanks a bunch. We see, and hear you.
Don’t leave us!!! 😭 I’m subscribed, I’ve probably watched every episode about ten times. I need you guys in my life (This is from a bro who _loves_ women’s sports of all kinds but especially football). Been a fan of you both since 2015 or earlier. Always an ally. #GoUSWNT #RE-CAP #Tobin 💜 #Christen 💙 💨⚽️ 🇺🇸
Thank You both, I coached youth soccer for twenty years with 3 daughters mostly girls teams. The way you personify the strength, confidence and leadership that can be gained from equality for women in sports is fantastic. My kids loved the beautiful game and led me to love it as well in part because of the positive impact that love had on them and our family. Please keep up what your doing!
In case you're wondering about possible future segments, how about one that updates us about the challenges teams like Nigeria, Jamaica, South Africa, not to mention Spain and England, are facing with their federations? What can American fans do to help Women's football on the global stage?
I think the guests who have been on show how respected both Tobin and Christen are. Looking forward to more episodes and to see where ReCap goes from here. F* the Patriarchy!!!
Really enjoyed all these episodes. Couldn't stop refreshing my browser waiting for the next one to drop. The interview with Dawn Scott was excellent! I learned so much. I hope some form of this will continue in the future, as I don't know of anything else like it. Would love to see you both again on the pitch, if that's in the cards as well :)
I love this show. It's so incredible to see women so unapologetically believe in each other and build each other up. Huge reason I love watching women's sports. I wish it was easier to watch the NWSL. Can't wait to tune into the Olympics. And I'll be at the USWNT friendly in Chicago in Sept!! LFG
I loved every minute of every episode of the recap show and I’m looking forward to new episodes. Would love if you posted the audio files on a podcasting platform, too, so I can listen as I drive! Tobin and Christen-you both are incredible. I’m so proud of everything you’ve done on and off the field. Thank you for helping to push our nation and world forward. Lindsey, you’re amazing. I was proud to see you representing the USA and I can’t wait to see what you do next in your career. Allyson, I love that, like the other women on this episode, you’re working to make things better for yourself, your teammates, and future generations of footballers. Wishing you the most success. ❤
Horan did a great job as captain, I echo Press' comments. Lyon has really raised her level of play and maturity on the field. Be proud of what you did, Horan in the WWC you can control only so much.
BY FAR....HORAN....you were THAT chick! MVP !!! If only the HEART was there from every player like you....and, maybe it was.... you just let yours out every match. Well done, maam. 💥💥💥
Maybe U17, U20 pods, so awareness and support of young talent grow throughout the player development cycle and fan base can learn more about the game through following multiple levels of play. I love the idea of expanding women's sports into a culture that speaks to girls and women uniquely, expansively, and inclusively. Great pod Kristen and Tobin!
I think there is something missing in the analysis of the Spanish success. There has been a huge grassroots participation in the game - with small clubs all over the country - that have been competing for years before Barcelona and Real Madrid decided to invest. There are also many regional rivalries - like between Catalunia, the Madrid Region, the Basque Country, Andalucia , etc. - that have fueled the competition. The sport seemed to be in high demand even before they qualified for the 2015 World Cup. But this is just my guess - you should probably have a spanish player on, to recount it. Interesting fact: at the time of the previous World Cup in 2019 Real Madrid still did not have a women's team.
Atletico Madrid, Levante, Espanyol Barcelona, atletic club and from around 2010ish barcelona and a couple of others were the first to somewhat invest in the women's game, with atletico dominating alot domestically in the 2010. 2015 barcelona professionalized their women's side and started investing alot more which changed the entire landscape of spanish women's football. With La Masia churning out world class players en masse the spanish nt started to become a dominant force in all age groups. 2019 barcelona made the uwcl final for the first time and spain qualified for the WC ko's for the first time. Real Madrid hasn't really done much to grow the game, they bought an already existing first division club (Tacon) and simply renamed it into Real Madrid. Most of the spanish players in Real Madrid aren't from their academy and were previous tacon players. Just like the men's side, the success of the women's national teams in all age groups coincides with the success of barcelona

Way to go Linda! Do you live in the Bay Area by chance? We’d love to hear your stories!
I would like them to fire Alexei Lalas and hire Tobin Heath. Tobin brings more insightful commentary in five minutes than Alexei has contributed in his entire televisual career.
Lloyd is way to negative .. Tobin and press should replace her
They already have that German lady and Carli Lloyd. Tobin should replace one of them. Cobi Jones should replace Alexi, he is incredibly knowlegeable about the game.
I can’t stand when Alexi says after every men’s World Cup where the us doesn’t win the cup that it was ultimately a failure. None of the US men are the best players on the European teams they play on. A little perspective would be nice.
Alexi & Carli are both super negative. Need to change this right away. Constructive criticism is the way to go. Stay positive.
Alexi is a loud mouth idiot. My parents who are huge soccer (football) fans despise that man. He annoys the hell out of me. Heath and Press would be awesome as commentators (hosts?)
Wow I can't believe we got to hear from current and former captains of Wales, Jamaica, Netherlands, Sweden, England, New Zealand, and of course the United States all in one place! Phenomenal show! We've been so spoiled this past month. I'm gonna miss it.
Thank you Christen and Tobin for using your privilege as USWNT players to amplify the story of Jamaica and make sure their stories are being heard and put out there. This is leadership.
Tobin Killing it: "Well done to Spain, Well done to Japan who beat them 4-0" She is on fire !
It’s great to hear Horan acknowledge that there were issues with how the team was set up by the coaching staff but still taking responsibility for improving those things she had control over. Class.
Unsure a true captain should be second-guessing the tactics of the coach publicly
Not the coach at this point
Favorite part of this episode was the discussion about Christen being funny and how it kind of impressed Tobin 😂
*Tobin and christen has the best guests on this show.*
So true
Agreed!
Lindsey Horan is a gem.
I am so happy that they had Lindsey on the show! Their friendship is one of a kind and the fact that Christen plays Pokémon! Let’s GO!
"The tobin thing" awnnnnnnnn🥺❤️ such sweet and loving gal pals ❤
Congrats on using your platform to bring attention to the Jamaican team, they deserve the professionalism teams are now getting. This is the message that needs to be elevated and heard so thank you #ReggaeGirls

i wish she spilled more! why not? it was too general
@@samcrane9817 it sure vlatko had an ego. you are right about the retired players. Foudy usually said there’s no bite.
sad to know this is the final episode but also grateful i got to be part of the ride! such a well formatted show and such great hosts, thanks for all your hard work!!
It’s the last episode of the World Cup edition. It’s not THE last episode.
@@thereallg4587 i’m aware! should’ve clarified that but i assumed people would know what i meant
Can we do this again for NWSL playoffs? Your show is amazing! Great job Tobin and Christen!
Oh I like that idea!
@@sarahgillis245apparently they did too!
I'm so sad the world cup is over. The tournament was fantastic and can't wait for next one.
Finally I can get some sleep ...
I so have appreciated your insights particularly your incredible knowledge of every aspect of the game.

exactly - the chef's ego was too big and maybe would not except that a women did it better for many - many years!
tobin said that first and linsey probably agreed
I always feel terrific during and after this show because of your spirit, joy, friendships and fun which are constants in all these shows.
The weekly group therapy USWNT/womens soccer fans need! lol plz don’t end this showww wahhh 😂❤️

Kudos to shinning a light on great stories and bringing intelligence and depth to soccer culture.
I'm sure it'll be said many times over, but thank you for this show. It was a welcome relief after every game to watch an episode and listen to athletes we enjoy and who know what they're talking about. It was very much appreciated.
Love this show to bits. It MUST continue in some form, whether for NWSL or other domestic league recaps, or USWNT game recaps or the upcoming Olympics or anything in between. Best Woso content available and your talent for this medium deserves further showcases. ❤ Please don’t leave us hanging for too long. 😢
YES!!!
An amazing Lindsey Horan sequence vs Netherlands. Gets fouled hard. Gets up and pushes Van de Donk, then scores a header. Love it.
The Tobin thing ahahaha. You both are perfect in these roles
Sad to see this ending but really excited for the future of re-media. Such a great show! Exceeded my expectations 😊
not ending only wc
All - I really, really enjoyed this show. To me, the sign of a great footballing show is that I finish a show and know more about the game then when I started. Your shows all did that for me. I also loved how you gave the spotlight to so many brilliant, brilliant minds in this game. I look forward to more from you all in the future.
LOL I love that Tobin’s Eggo waffles response totally threw Christen off. Definitely made me giggle!
Please continue this amazing show!! I feel like there’s more to tell beyond the World Cup and from your deep network of strong, empowering, and inspirational people!
I live in Spain and have been refreshing all day waiting for this recap! haha
would love to see spanish players on here
Already missing The RE-CAP Show. Thanks for all your support!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experiences, always so zen.
@@delfmendez4311 Very zen. Thought Christen should make meditation videos after listening to her talk through her post-game ritual in episode 3
Thank you to Christen and Tobin and the recap team for this wonderful show. I love experiencing the joy in football! You guys had amazing guests, heartfelt stories, silly moments, angry rants, all while still prioritizing the joy of the game and holding these federations reliable. Thanks again 👏
Excited to see what happens in the future.
Another phenomenal show! My favorite thing has been the insights and stories that we won’t hear anywhere else. Having watched every episode more than once I am convinced of two things: Tobin Heath could easily slip into a coaching role, or at least player development. And we need a T-shirt “Lindsay Horan: limitless”
What an awesome series and program you both accomplished! Well done! Great way to end the WWC with two great guests. Lindsey will be a great captain again for this next cycle.
As a father of a daughter who played football from age 4 through high school, I just want to say you're all doing a great thing for women in sports! Looking forward to where your show goes!!👏
Congratulations, Tobin and Christen and all of the people behind the scene who came together to produce such a great show. Well done!
Do keep up the great work that you are doing to improve the standing of girls and women in sports, in business, in all walks of life.
I can't wait to see what comes next for (and from) you two.
BTW.. I 'm not young and just a bit embarrassed that I was so thrilled to come upon a soccer field (just by chance as I went for a walk) in Basking Ridge, NJ in Pleasant Valley Park, named in honor of Tobin Heath. How cool is that!
Loved this show thank you for bringing the best commentary this World Cup
My absolute favorite show on YT!!
Great commentary, guests and conversation!
Just wanted to leave one of my favorite quotes of Trumen G Madsen.
“It is a woman's gift to believe when men are unbelieving.
It is a woman's power to hope when men are hopeless.”
I love this show so much. I wish that you guys were the commentators on games. I found this show from an article in the NY times and because of it I started watching the women's world cup, and I've watched every game from the round of 16 on. Thank you for the excellent commentary, insights, guests, everything! Looking forward to whatever comes next.
Sarena's England had barely beaten an up-and-coming Nigeria on pens, scraped through Colombia (with a goalkeeper gift), then Australia defence self-imploded. It was always on the edge.
"We kept going into rooms that said the revenue is not there, the interest isn't there, these are just the market realities. People don't want to watch women's sports. And you start to believe when they say it over and over. But, that's not true. We can go into different rooms and we can build rooms." Tobin Heath. Just wanted to add...really appreciated your insights into soccer, business, personal well being, culture... your voices are so important. Looking forward to watching (and supporting) as you build more rooms. THANK YOU.
I’m so glad there are such trusted voices telling lindsey what us fans want her to know. You can tell she was really listening too. We miss you in portland!!!
thank you so much for everything you all put into this show to make it possible 🧡 all of the insight, conversations, and analysis were incredible along with the roster of guests you brought in. each episode brought me so much joy and i can’t wait to see where it goes next!
I am a father of a 22 year old ex-soccer player. She and I enjoyed watching you two play all the time, so I figured why not watch your show. I have enjoyed it. Keep it up ladies. Nothing but respect.
Such a good episode - loved hearing about Lindsey’s experience ❤️
What a ride! This has been so fun, insightful, and everything I didn’t know I was looking for in conversations about women’s soccer. Thank you for this, can’t wait to see where else this goes.
Another great show! I really hope you continue making episodes. The exceptional content convinced me to join the membership. 😊 Thank you🎉
Thanks, Tobin and Christen. This is such a smart, entertaining show. I love hearing from women in all kinds of roles in women's football. I watched the USWNT twice in person at the World Cup, and no other analysis (except for the Arsenal coach's on Men in Blazers-- where he credits Tobin for her thoughts) comes close. I love the way you are amplifying the messages of so many women as you give us insight into the lives of professional footballers. I'm a woman in a male-dominated field, and even though I have absolutely no experience playing high-level sports, it's easy to see that you have provided the kind of leadership that women need and deserve. So thank you again.
Should have asked the captain how she felt when Carli Lloyd said they had no heart!! They all had heart. 🇺🇸
Tobin, you are so right about not being able to find NWSL games!! I can find Premier league easy!! But can I find NWSL games…NO!! So difficult. Sick of it. Hope you can change it. Love this show!!
Lindsey is amazing!! I am looking forward to see what rhis team does under new direction. So much potential on this team and want to see the team enjoy playing :) ❤
I really love these episodes. Tobin you are a joy to hear, so much knowledge of football is just crazy, I really enjoyed that.
Christen, your personality is just great if before The Recap Show you had my admiration as a player now is just total icing on the cake.
Keep going, I can't wait to see what's next.
Tobin and Christen made an excellent point about Europe catching up to the US. The infrastructure was already there in Europe. Now, the FAs and clubs are putting resources and finances toward the women's side, so they're already able to compete for World Cups and Olympics. The US women have to had to build it from the ground up since the 1980s when the national team was established. US will have to invest more resources/money at club level and towards the national team to stay competitive. I'm curious if more players will go overseas to play in Europe or stay in the NWSL? I would love for NWSL to be huge, but I want our players playing against the best competition
It’s not the NWSL level that’s a problem, it’s the lower levels being nearly non-existent for young women. USSF just cancelled the minimal programs they did have, and now it’s only pay-for-play
I love this show and the different perspective on the game and just looking forward to more shows and interesting guests. Thank you so much for starting this memory for me, and so glad the U.S manager/coach has quit. So interested to see who the next manager will be and see what she/he does with the team.
The sky is the limit for you two. After the first two shows I wrote that they were the smartest and most interesting sports shows I’d ever seen. I also assumed (without saying it) that they couldn’t continue to be that good. Well, they did-and sometimes (like this last show), they even got better. I was never a soccer fan, but I’m a big fan of you both and what you’re working on with reMedia. It’s (past) time for women to get the recognition they deserve, and the ability to tell their stories themselves, in their own words and perspectives. I look forward to seeing more sports shows created by women that demonstrate just how good these shows can-and should-be. Like The reCap Show! Hope to see you soon.
my respect for you guys went up even more for bringing allyson, big up heath and press❤❤❤
This is such a great show! Sad this is the final episode of this edition, but I'm excited to see where Re-Media is heading and know that the content will be superb :)
Jamaica literally ran a gofundme to get to WWC- fuck their federation getting any credit!!! These players deserve better no doubt
What an incredible show! So much to look forward to from Re media. Thanks for all you both are doing for women’s sports!
Another great episode. Thanks for making the World Cup more enjoyable for us all. When do the bloopers drop? ;-)
Thank you both is a very small word, so there are no words that I can express my words to both of you.
Tobin would be a great coach. Love how she's encouraging and mentoring Lindsey
The interview with Allyson was so incredibly insightful and enriching. Think it might be one of my favorites
Thank you Tobin and Christen for re-imagining a sports room for women, about women all the while, doing it your way🎉💯🔥🫰🫰🫰
Stoked for whatever comes next RE-CAP-wise!
I hope to see more of this type of content from you gals in the future. I'd love that.
Thank you both and the entire re-inc team for this amazing series and all the incredible coverage beyond the scoreline. I hope the show can return in some form because I would listen every week, there's always lots of WOSO matches/tourneys and big news going on. OMG could you imagine a 2024 Olympics show behind the scenes with Tobin and Christen on the USWNT roster! 💜
it is!
Yesss we need more positive and informative sports sources! Lfg tobin & christen!
Loved hearing your perspective of the World Cup. The guests were fantastic.Hoping that you do this again for the Olympics--if you are not playing 😁
Omg so many comments this time but I am so obsessed with you guys haha that segment with The Great Limitless Horan was so awesome and I am just so stoked for her as a player - Our Captain!!!! Supes tender
Leaders lead under the worst conditions. That's what Lindsey did. ❤ Hope the USWNT learns a llot from this disappointment. Perhaps this will produce more belief in their spirits, and pride in their hearts. Afterall, they have four CUPS TO DATE, that no one can forget. I still believe in them, and support them. Great show ladies. Thanks a bunch. We see, and hear you.
I'd love to see you keep it up. This is the best soccer show going.
Don’t leave us!!! 😭 I’m subscribed, I’ve probably watched every episode about ten times. I need you guys in my life (This is from a bro who _loves_ women’s sports of all kinds but especially football). Been a fan of you both since 2015 or earlier. Always an ally. #GoUSWNT #RE-CAP #Tobin 💜 #Christen 💙 💨⚽️ 🇺🇸
Thank You both, I coached youth soccer for twenty years with 3 daughters mostly girls teams. The way you personify the strength, confidence and leadership that can be gained from equality for women in sports is fantastic. My kids loved the beautiful game and led me to love it as well in part because of the positive impact that love had on them and our family. Please keep up what your doing!
In case you're wondering about possible future segments, how about one that updates us about the challenges teams like Nigeria, Jamaica, South Africa, not to mention Spain and England, are facing with their federations? What can American fans do to help Women's football on the global stage?
I think the guests who have been on show how respected both Tobin and Christen are. Looking forward to more episodes and to see where ReCap goes from here. F* the Patriarchy!!!
Really enjoyed all these episodes. Couldn't stop refreshing my browser waiting for the next one to drop. The interview with Dawn Scott was excellent! I learned so much. I hope some form of this will continue in the future, as I don't know of anything else like it. Would love to see you both again on the pitch, if that's in the cards as well :)
I love this show. It's so incredible to see women so unapologetically believe in each other and build each other up. Huge reason I love watching women's sports. I wish it was easier to watch the NWSL. Can't wait to tune into the Olympics. And I'll be at the USWNT friendly in Chicago in Sept!! LFG
44:33 actually a very funny response. Super meta. Christen has comedy chops.
I am a Tobin fan. Always love watching you play Tobin. Identifiable by style of play and the way you wear your socks. 😂
I loved every minute of every episode of the recap show and I’m looking forward to new episodes. Would love if you posted the audio files on a podcasting platform, too, so I can listen as I drive! Tobin and Christen-you both are incredible. I’m so proud of everything you’ve done on and off the field. Thank you for helping to push our nation and world forward. Lindsey, you’re amazing. I was proud to see you representing the USA and I can’t wait to see what you do next in your career. Allyson, I love that, like the other women on this episode, you’re working to make things better for yourself, your teammates, and future generations of footballers. Wishing you the most success. ❤
I believe it is on podcasting platforms, e.g. apple music, spotify, etc.
Love this show and this company so much!!!! And can't wait to see both players out on the field again hopefully soooon!
Loved watching this show along with the world cup can't wait for the next edition and the future of re-media
Horan did a great job as captain, I echo Press' comments. Lyon has really raised her level of play and maturity on the field. Be proud of what you did, Horan in the WWC you can control only so much.
BY FAR....HORAN....you were THAT chick! MVP !!! If only the HEART was there from every player like you....and, maybe it was.... you just let yours out every match. Well done, maam. 💥💥💥
One more accolade for Lindsey - NWSL Champion for the Thorns - and Championship MVP
Maybe U17, U20 pods, so awareness and support of young talent grow throughout the player development cycle and fan base can learn more about the game through following multiple levels of play.
I love the idea of expanding women's sports into a culture that speaks to girls and women uniquely, expansively, and inclusively. Great pod Kristen and Tobin!
I think there is something missing in the analysis of the Spanish success. There has been a huge grassroots participation in the game - with small clubs all over the country - that have been competing for years before Barcelona and Real Madrid decided to invest. There are also many regional rivalries - like between Catalunia, the Madrid Region, the Basque Country, Andalucia , etc. - that have fueled the competition. The sport seemed to be in high demand even before they qualified for the 2015 World Cup. But this is just my guess - you should probably have a spanish player on, to recount it. Interesting fact: at the time of the previous World Cup in 2019 Real Madrid still did not have a women's team.
Atletico Madrid, Levante, Espanyol Barcelona, atletic club and from around 2010ish barcelona and a couple of others were the first to somewhat invest in the women's game, with atletico dominating alot domestically in the 2010. 2015 barcelona professionalized their women's side and started investing alot more which changed the entire landscape of spanish women's football. With La Masia churning out world class players en masse the spanish nt started to become a dominant force in all age groups. 2019 barcelona made the uwcl final for the first time and spain qualified for the WC ko's for the first time. Real Madrid hasn't really done much to grow the game, they bought an already existing first division club (Tacon) and simply renamed it into Real Madrid. Most of the spanish players in Real Madrid aren't from their academy and were previous tacon players. Just like the men's side, the success of the women's national teams in all age groups coincides with the success of barcelona
Loved it!!! Bring on Melissa Ortiz next season or Catalina Usme, Linda Caicedo! 🇨🇴😍
