Beth and Viv have very rapidly gained all of my interest because the candour with which they talk about their relationship just makes my non-hetero heart flutter. Every detail we have, every cute moment we know about, was given to us willingly. This is such a monumental change and I think they are aware of it. I am very excited to read Beth's book because every single one of her press outings just makes me love her a little bit more. Regarding Viv, I think this break is more than necessary for her and I command her for her maturity. It takes one HECK of a person and one HECK of an athlete to know when to step back. Props to Arsenal and the Netherlands National Team for allowing her this leave of absence as well. Hopefully she will come back recharged, both physically and mentally.
I just love how Open Mead is. Imagine them being interviewed together, am sure Beth will be answering all the questions while Viv just nods In agreement
Have so much respect and affection for Viv as a person and a player. Hoping this is not the dreaded Long Covid which is everywhere now, especially in our previously healthy young folk. Hoping nurturing time with nearest and dearest in the Netherlands will help Viv convalesce and get a break from the stress of playing at the highest levels in UK and EU. Been a good season for Arsenal thus far. But our health is the most important aspect of our lives. Thank you for your lively commentary. (Leicester is pronounced "Lester", but no one cares. Not a Brit here).
Some people who get Covid just get the sniffles,looks like Viv got it much worse,where it effects your lungs This is no joke,and for a top 5 player,to not get playing time,you know her cardio is nowhere near where it needs to be She's not on the wrong side of a career,shes on the upside,so it has to be a long term effect Feel for her, this isn't an injury where you just rehab and can come back stronger(Beths 2022)
@@SaraSarah Believe it or not when I lived in London, some British people were arguing about how it should be pronounced :) but the right pronunciation is Lester.
Fatigue, heavy feet, getting less air are known as some of the long CoVid symptoms. It's hard to say whether Viv has long CoVid effects or just feeling the preesured after very successful seasons in the past few years. Sometimes you just have to take a break for different (mental) health issues just like Simone Biles did. Great to see how supportive Arsenal is. Love how self confident Beth is talking about relationship details. Totally understandable that Beth didn't want Viv to make all the first moves. Liverpool played Manchester United 3 times in 2022: April 19th in the English Premier League Liverpool - Manchester United 4:0 July 12th friendly match (During Women's Euro) Manchester United - Liverpool 4:0 August 22nd in the English Premier League Manchester United - Liverpool 2:1 Also, if you didn't know, the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 will take place in Liverpool.
I’m illegally early. And I can’t tell why I love Viv and Beth so much. Another thing to pay attention to is that she has struggled heavily with mental health issues. And she’s still young and has had this pressure on her since she was fourteen and so maybe she just had another snap where she almost quits like in 2015.
gangster move by Beth to ask Viv out after England dominated the Netherlands. Although Viv being the first to say "I love you" and the first kisser is surprising given how introverted she is. As they say, don't judge a book by it's cover.
Después del Covid que tuvo Viv, vienen las secuelas y Ella volvio pronto a la cancha, ahora están los resultados de no haberse cuidado lo suficiente, es mucho mejor qué Vivi se tome un descanso y este checandose constantemente para qué este en óptimas condiciones, esta demasiado delgada y tiene qué cuidarse mucho
WestHam and if u watched our last game( Arsenal) with WestHam u probably seen Lisa coz she played. And think she is cool with everything coz noticed she be liking Beth's post on IG
She signed a measly one year contract and acted as if she was doing Arsenal a favour. Arsenal can win nothing without her. Because that’s what they won last season. Nothing. The team looks better without her in it. Carry on.
Your not a true fan if your really talking like this girl atleast acknowledge her effort she put in in the previous seasons coz she did so much for our club. Now she maybe struggling instead of trashing her at least support her in her worst moments coz she was there for our club when we needed her it's time fans to at least be there for her now. Remember its coz of her that we in champions league this season.
Lol you talking as if she ain't one of the best footballers in female football you talking as if Without Her Arsenal will be this good in recent years. But carry on
i think viv’s break might be a mix of needing physical and mental rest. it’s likely she still not back at 100% from getting covid but there’s probably also a sense of frustration and upset that she doesn’t have much control over her (potential) side effects from covid. the rest is deffo well deserved and she’ll come back stronger ps, still haven’t forgiven parsons for not taking viv off during the euros when she was clearly struggling, no matter how much it would’ve upset her. i really believe that it would’ve been better for the team and her if she’d come in around the 70th minute and played a strong 20 rather than starting and not being able to have the impact she wanted to have and knew she could have if she hadn’t been sick
I listened to the podcast and i could listen to Beth talk all day! She is so down to earth! I think her and Viv are great for eachother. Hope she recovers and is back soon.
About the "guest" comment at 8:00. Remember when back in 2015, after Canada came in third place and the USA obviously won, Erin Mcleod kissed Ella Masar and Abby Wambach kissed her longtime girlfriend Sarah Huffman and some news papers titled both of those events as them "kissing friends". When Kelley O' Hara kissed her gf in 2019 newspapers literally titled it "K.O'H. greets a fan after world cup victory". Lmao, imagine being an athlete and greeting random fans by giving them a smooch. xD I'm genuinely confused as to why this keeps happening in this day and age. Is it a don't-care attitude, lack of research, pure ignorance (anybody ever notice how this never happens when it's straight couples?) or outright denial? I'm also sure there are more examples than I can remember, as those were just the ones I knew off the top of my head. However, this really is a new low considering that Beth really isn't an underdog in WoSo. Even if reporters / journalists / whoever didn't want to acknowledge their relationship, they could have just said something along the lines of "Viviane Miedema and her friend / teammate, English break-out star Beth Mead" or something.
OMGMMGG greeting a FAN!!! WTH!! lol Kissing friends?! that is wild. What is more wild someone kissing a fan on the lips or a lesbian with a gf lol I guess newspapers didn't want to assume BUT what else would you assume? just like you said IF it were a straight couple there wouldn't even be a question!
OK, I've noted a gap in my understanding before when hearing young queers talk and I need some education from any of my younger sisters out there. (I'm 53 and I've been married for over 18 years, and before that in another long term relationship so I haven't really "dated" since 1996). What does it mean to ask someone to be your girlfriend? Does it mean being exclusive? Beth said they'd already kissed and said I love you. (Unsaid but assumed, they've already slept together). It's the "I love you" part that feels out of order, I guess. I would usually have described someone as my girlfriend almost as soon as we were dating, long before I would have used the term partner, and before the "I love you" statements. So it means something different than it did. Please help!!!
Viv may have had the Long Covid. That last for months and is especially worse in women. You can tell by watching her in your video that she wasn’t herself. I hope and pray she gets better while on leave. That Long Covid is a bear, so my daughter tells me and she is an RN.
I've just had covid. Still can't smell everything perfectly and when I go for a run I feel like I need to drag my legs way more then before. I do think somebody can have it way worse, like Viv. She looked off on the field. I actually said it before that she did and that I got why Jonas wouldn't put her on the field as much and chose Maanum over her for now. I hope Viv gets better and will play like her old self or even better! She deserves it.
she aint doin no leavin, she s simply resting because she needs it; she has been overworked and overused so much, that half her body is fallin apart, she can do w some restin limbs.
Well Christan Press head a break with VIV she will mention in interviews she will be quiet happy when she calls it a day on soccer!! Also VIV is hand on the tools!! Her and Beth seem a really good fit and happy so all the best to them! Take care👍👍
I had covid last year and went to the physio not for covid but the physio put me right on the covid training after testing my condition. I didn't even realize that my condition had deteriorated so much. it took me 8 months for my heart rate to return to normal during training. I can't imagine what it must be like for a top athlete where condition and fitness are everything. this not only does things to you physically but also mentally health, hope she gets back to her old self soon 🍀
Just want to call out my bias I’m a Viv fan thru and thru as a player and aperson she is humble talented competitive Love Beth got to know her thru the we play strong vids she is a real character and she deserves all the success she has achieved over the last 6 months What has worried me about Viv is she has lost her mojo even before Covid and Euros Viv said a couple of things in previous vids that stuck in my mind she doesn’t like to be alone and she sleeps with a light on which surprised me given her public persona she is clearly a sensitive and complex person She jumped into a new relationship straight after a 6-7 year relationship. When she only signed a 1 yr contract with Arsenal it seemed she was pondering a change on the professional level and didn’t want to commit long term Clearly this year Viv has had a lot of significant change. I wonder if it is now all starting to land on her and she is now processing those big decisions. I’m glad she is going home to have a break
Such a good point. there must be so much going on in her head. All this pressure and everything else that has gone on. Just want her to feel her absolute best.

Yeah right?! First kiss?! i would of not expected that of her! but im here for it!
what a gift. i love love
hey, great video, beth is so open about everything and im glad viv is having a break :)

Hey! its from we play strong th-cam.com/video/pR3Jnz-Dvmo/w-d-xo.html toward the end!

Love Beth got to know her thru the we play strong vids she is a real character and she deserves all the success she has achieved over the last 6 months
