So proud to see her on the pitch! This is what America is about
What's America about? Brazil women were playing football before she was born.
@@kobinasagoe7407 Good for them. She wanted to play for the USWNT as a girl and now she is. Proud of her realizing her dreams.
@Apple Account s If you don't think she's earned at least this much, I don't know what to tell you. It's short-sighted at the very least. We'll see if she makes it onto the Olympic roster, but either way, she's good on the pitch and certainly justifies her presence at training camp.
@@kobinasagoe7407 🤔🙄 someone needs their comprehension skills sharpened.
Catarina made her decision to represent the US at a very young age which makes this all come full circle. Imagine waiting years for something you don’t really have control over. She could have stalled, had an life injury or a number of other living changing situations. Yet she persevered guided by her loyalty to the nation who give her an opportunity and her abilities on the field. You’re now part of the greatest women’s team in the world Cat. You get to walk and live in the shadows of giants. You will no doubt create a name for yourself that will rival any of those greats who’ve worn the red, white, and blue. Bravo 👏
Turns out we would've only needed to wait three minutes into her first start to include her first goal in this piece! Oh well, águas passadas não movem moinhos. 🤷🏽♀️
love the brazilian proverb
she is so beautiful and talented!! love to seeing her play on the national team
gorgeous and her mom
i love these journey videos they’re so inspiring and motivating
Are you serious? Is Brazil 🇧🇷 not a soccer nation?
I'm filled with so much joy when I see her play. She's amazing and her story is what America should be about. Congrats Catarina!! The USWNT is so incredibly impactful and trendsetting in the shaping of women's sports. They are the best and have a long tradition of talent and success that will hopefully continue for a long time. Go USWNT! One of few shining examples of American exceptionalism.
What an exiting moment when she ran finally on the pitch wearing the US jersey with her name on the back. It was a very special moment for her career and I think that that's just the beginning of a beautiful and successful sport story. I really admire her perseverance duting those years she never stop beliving and working really hard for realize her big dream, be a member of the greatest women's soccer nactional team in the world. Now she realize this dream and I believe that everybody could learn a lot from this young star. 🇺🇸⚽
She coulda gone easy route gone to brazil and be a star right away, but wanted to fight for a spot on the most badass team in the country... man cutting down to 18 is scary
she will make it
Easy Route? Do you have Any clue how hard it is for women in countries like Brasil to make it in the sport? The "easy" route was coming to the USA.
@@adiliasousa6276 I think he meant Brasil being the “easy route” once she had already developed into the player she is today. Like if she came to the US, played at Stanford and then decided she wanted to represent Brasil at the senior level. At that point it would’ve been easier to make the Seleção Feminina than the USWNT.
@@adiliasousa6276 not her!
I’ve been following her journey for over two years and she is truly such a remarkable player. Mark my word, she will be the best in the world one day.
What position do you see her playing for the USWNT?
you are 100% right. she most definitely will. she brings a whole new personality to the team that we need. she’s such a remarkable player and a true inspiration
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music she played in the midfield at Stanford for a couple of seasons but USWNT is pretty saturated with young, promising midfielders - so I reckon with the departure of some of the vets (Lloyd, Rapinoe, Press, Heath, Morgan etc.) in the next 5-10 years there'll be a superstar striker spot with her name written all over it. She's versatile and adaptable enough to make any position her own.
@Apple Account s bear in mind that she's only 21 and has not yet played any professional football. Development does take time, but I see a lot of potential there
i was sitting behind the goal 1st half last night n it took literally a couple minutes into the game and she stood out ...the future at fwd looks very bright for the US ...cant wait to see this team at full strength ...
Beautiful story!
Catarina Macario is a great player.
I remember we was in college. She was amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩
Cat is one heck of a player and will only get better in her game. The team just gets deeper and deeper!
Plus she can play forward something we need with most of of starting line up front in their 30s. She’s highly technical and an amazing 3 dimensional player.
@@JeanClaudeCOCO can't agree more
What an amazing woman! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This girl has a great potential....I am looking forward to enjoy every single goal she will score.....
Besides being beautiful, she is humble,talented and comes from a great family.She kicks very well from outside the area,knows how to dribble and hits free kicks like few players.
That's what the American dream is all about - possibilities and opportunities for all. That makes this country the greatest in the world. I love this country!!!
Wooooooo, LETS GO ❤️
Great soccer player, and as beautiful as an angel. I can't wait to watch her play more! She definitely has the skills of a professional player. Woohoo!!
I am so excited to watch her!
It was great to see her score her first goal the other night, many more to come.
She's in a class all of her own. I've been waiting for this time for two years. I knew she was going to be a star. 2021 Olympics and 2023 Women's World Cup, here she comes!! 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Where do you think she will fit in the history of the USWNT?
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music If she stays healthy, she can surpass greats like Abby Wambach and Mia Hamm. BIG expectations and she knows it!
@@elisaiah1 I watched her plays in Columbia games. Yes she is very likely in the pantheon of Mia and Wambach.
Congratulations . you are simply a great inspiration to all others that have a passion for something and want to make it . Must be a great feeling ..
First! She did great in the USWNT vs Columbia game!! Keep it up girl
COLOMBIA
I can't imagine her happiness. Kick asses catarina !!!! ⚽⚽⚽
I’m so excited to see what she brings to the team
Her story kind of remind me of Sydney Leroux's, what with them being born in a different country and then leaving it to live in the US at a young age. Best of luck to Catarina.
you will be legendary. Proud of you and keep pressing onwards.
Catarina Macario is the Brazilian-born U.S. WNT midfielder
It's gonna be soooooo much fun to watch you play, Catarina.
Welcome to the team!
Reminds me a lot of Tobin the way she plays
yeah very technical and good and dribbling and juggling
That’s what I was thinking on Monday seeing her play. Good talent
@li I’m not ready for the day Tobin retires
exactly It will be a very sad day when she retires I love her sooo much
No way like Tobin.
At the end of the day, if you can play you can play 💙💙
Been waiting for this ❤️
She has very, very good soccer skills. She is beautiful, too.
She's going to be a huge star 🌟 ✨. She has a great attitude.
I want Pugh Lavelle and her on the field together
Just saw her highlight from Stanford! This young star can BALL! If this was men’s National team they’d be hyping the player soo much.. but because it’s US WNT he didn’t hear much about her! She is a Star in the making! Girl got mad skills!
WELCOME CATARINA!! :D Congrats on your citizenship & becoming part of this amazing team, we cannot wait to see you soar and make all the latinas proud ;) USA USA USA!!! :D
One thing about being a “True” American is that we don’t see the race of a player. They are just players who we love, stand behind and support through thick and thin. Not Make all the Caucasian’s, latinas, Africans, Asians and so on proud. No matter their race! They ALL make me proud.
@@barbaraspridgeon2660 thats not true, UK is more "colorblind" when it comes to their athletes than USA
She will be one of the greats
what a story ... can't wait for what she is yet to become on this team.
Carina you are the best soccer player
I am so exited to see more of her!!!
i met her and she was so nice!
We already love you
So awesome to finally have her represent the USA!
a Macario jersey might be in my future👀
I can’t wait to see what her true number will finally be.
Wadda ya think? 10?
@@barbaraspridgeon2660 that’s exactly what I was thinking, once Carli goes she will get probably 10 or maybe 11
Catarina, now she is going to be a team player extraordinaire. There was that one goal she unselfishly gave up to Mallory Pugh. It was a sight to behold. She's definitely the one to watch.
O Brasil tem grandes jogadoras o problema está na estrutura, se ela está feliz isso é o que importa. Tem jogadoras nascida no USA que pelo Brasil também isso faz parte do esporte.
Quem?
What a great story and such an inspiration!
one of my new favorite players!
WOw ! Next Marta or Mia Ham . The Land of opportunity ! I see the fifth star on top of the US crest . Great job US soccer recognizing and recruiting talent
I want to be like her she’s amazing!❤️
Congratulations on your journey to the USWNT best of luck ⚽️ @catarinamacario
Yes Catarina, so happy and excited for her. She is a very intelligent young woman with a great head on her shoulders. She will do amazing things on and off the soccer field. Welcome to the team!!!
Amazing story!!!
e pensar que o Brasil perdeu essa joia...lamentamos muito por isso.
Soo gourgeous !!!has to be brazilian thou!!!
And now she has signed with one of the biggest clubs in Europe! Congrats!
Who?

I love her so much!!! She is the first player on the uswnt that I play like!! I want to play as good as her when I am her age!!
Amazing. Can't wait to watch more of her!
l love you Catarina Macario's you are my favorite
Catarina, great to have you as an American 🇺🇸 We're so excited for your present and future with the USWNT. Awesome interview. We love your hard work and positivity. 🙏
ive watched her from year 1 at stanford,, im so proud🥺
For someone who did not speak English has done very well. I did not hear any hint of an accent.
Catarina, Lavelle, Mewis, Dunn, Ertz... they are the future of the USWNT!!
She is honest, I respect her she loves America that awesome she has loyal to our home USA ❤️
Simply AMAZING, Catarina! 🙏🏽
I NEED TOBIN ON THE NEXT WORLD CUP TEAM. I NEED 1 MORE WORLD CUP WITH TOBS😭
Pretty sure you'll get that.
This is so amazing. Congrats, Catarina.
Love her already
Oh I love her soooooo much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If she was born in the US, she may not have had the opportunity to even pursue soccer. It's such a white and suburban sport in the US, it excludes a lot of Black and brown kids from the start. Sad to think how many kids don't even get the chance.
Si un futbolista 🤝 que buneo.
💪🏼
yesssss...so excited to see her tear it up!
she’s beautiful
She is amazing!!
Love stories like these
Very special player im sure Brazil 🇧🇷 is not at all disappointed....
I’m brazilian and i’m very proud of her. Our country doesn’t value women soccer, she is right to choose one that give her the value that she deserves. Hope that this makes our country ashamed of how we treat girls that likes soccer and realize the talent that we are losing. Go USWNT ❤️🇧🇷🇺🇸
@@luv3351 I’m glad you’re saying this because Cat made her decision at a really young age and not done with malaise or contempt for the Brazilian people. I hope she’s not subjected to taunting and abuse when the US plays Brazil.
This all happen a decade ago, I hope the 🇧🇷 federation invest in their young players because there are many girls who want to play soccer in a country that values it more (only for men and boys) then anywhere in the world.
@@luv3351 You're Brazilian however its like everyone that gets a ticket in is taught to deny or even hate where they came from although the one's initiating control are foreigners themselves. This is not about race and country but the survival of a people that are being driven to non-existent by society and the law it governs. Its unfortunate the twist and turns life take undeserving towards those who are truly inspired to spread the true benefits of diversity. Hope this makes sense peace...
@@luv3351 que vergonha voce falar isso. o brasil esta se estruturando tem duas divisoes a seleçao esta sendo bem tratada. marta passou bem mais dificuldades mesmo assim nao abandonou a naçao
@@luv3351 So nice to hear a Brazilian who gets it. She didn't just choose the USWNT because they win, she chose them because the team and its players are valued far more than in Brazil. Thank you for this comment.
My two daughters ♥️ you
She can be Ballón d'Or winner in a few years
Welcome ☺️🙏🏽
For those who are discontent with Catarina’s decision of choosing the US over Brazil their is an article on behalf of ESPN that thoroughly explains why she made that decision.
Para aqueles que estão descontentes com a decisão de Catarina de escolher os EUA ao invés do Brasil, há um artigo em nome da ESPN que explica detalhadamente por que ela tomou essa decisão.
wait i’m so confused- did the uswnt play tonight?? i didn’t think they did but now i’m seeing all these press match conferences posted tonight. was that from the other days game?
There was a presser today, but no game. They play tomorrow
That's so beautiful! Everyone here should get to stay and feel that American feeling!😝
Bienvenue à Lyon
The future of this team is looking good 🇺🇸
She doesn't have much of the Brazilian accent at all moving here at age 12...sounds just like a SoCal chill surfer chick now! Let's go ladies!
A great definition of what it means to be an American!
She could have been the next Mata for Brazil. Talent all over.
Now she is a Chelsea player
🇺🇸❤⚽️
Thanks Catarina, for putting your skills at the service of the US. Let's form a new team around the likes of you and Mal Pugh and Sophia and Ashley., with a new coach
Welcome to Chelsea
GOD BLESS AMERICA
I did NOT expect her to sound like that. Beautiful voice though, excellent player.
I remeber playing at the Surf Cup as a wee lad. are they still held to this day, Covid aside?
Not right now with COVID but yes!! They still hold surf cup!
Eu queria ver você na seleção do Brasil...
A sim você fazeria história no mundo.
Não de ser a melhor do mundo, mas de ser a líder de uma nação.
As raízes são a fonte da felicidade. Nunca esqueça disso. Dinheiro com o mínimo a gente sobrevive.
If Brazil really cared about Catarina they would have made contact with her while she was still in Brazil and they didn’t, it’s pretty obvious they didn’t care about her at all. Even with Catarina coming over to the US at the age of 12 wouldn’t impede Brazil from calling her up to the senior team at the age of 16 or 17 if they really wanted to.
Se o Brasil realmente se importasse com Catarina, eles teriam feito contato com ela enquanto ela ainda estava no Brasil e não, é bastante óbvio que eles não se importavam com ela. Mesmo com Catarina vindo para os EUA aos 12 anos, isso não impediria o Brasil de convocá-la para a equipe principal aos 16 ou 17 anos, se eles realmente quisessem.
esse papo de "ain largar as raizes...as raízes são fonte de felicidade....ficou desumilde"...bobagem. É um papo que apela para a necessidade de ser humilde e a culpa, por ter "abandonado" os seus. E a culpa, fundamentalmente programada por nós pela religião, justamente para nos manipular. A fonte da felicidade não está nas raízes: é importante saber de onde tú veio, mas mais importante é saber pra onde tú vai. E quando ela olha de onde veio pode ter certeza: não há arrependimento de sua tragetória e de suas escolhas
this bs crap of "left its roots...in the roots are the hapiness.... it was dehumilde"... lot of bs. It's a speach that appeals to the need of being humble and the guilt, for having "abandoned" their own. And guilt, precisely adjusted to us by religion, to manipulate us via feelings. The source of happiness is not in the roots: it is important to know where you came from, but more important is to know where you are going to. And when she looks back she's sure: there's no regret for her choices in the past
Aw the team is brilliant to Cat
The US women’s team finally is getting a diversity of races, they had the common only American look, they needed a little Latin spice so happy to see the mix starting to happen 💕
They had black women(though she is mixed)the team before..
