Purce is out for season/Olympic with ACL, with her multiple leg injuries in recent years, maybe time to start working on your other career. Not trying to be mean. Just the truth.
I loved this interview! So glad Midge did that 91st Minute podcast bc I loved hearing her takes and her laughter was contagious. I loved Midge and Katie together.
I have been loving this whole series. It's so insightful, interesting, and there's always such great chemistry. It feels like less an interview and more like friends hanging out and talking, and I mean that in the best way.
I don't actively follow women's soccer but Midge Purce just gained a new fan. Her thoughtfulness is amazing. Her vulnerability is refreshing. I hope she gets selected to play for the national team again.
People in the US love to say “what if our best athletes played soccer?” - this interview makes me ask a new question. What if our best humans played soccer? I think we’d all be better off and ultimately achieve our goals faster. Midge is a shining example of that. What an amazing person to have to represent soccer in the USA.
Woohoo! A sports interview with the word “co-morbidity”thrown in (and used correctly)! Love it. Midge Purce was such a treat to watch in this interview. She listened to a question, pointed out the flaws or lack of clarity in the question, then reframed the query and answered that. So clear. So self-aware. Well done. I am now a fan of this individual.
When you listen to a Harvard graduate, like Midge Purce you get very smart and meaningful answers. She understands everything. She expresses herself perfectly.
It's wild to me how kate abdo's accent gets so much more american when in the company of americans. Around micah Richards and carragher her accent is completely different.
I know this isn't the same thing, since it's kind of an accent doing the opposite of blending in, but I have a moderately strong midwestern (mix of Minnesota and Wisconsin) accent and it damn near goes Canadian every time I've visited the south.
Midge was a natural and a great podcast host, if she wanted a career before a camera she would be a natural with sharp insights and a delightful sense of humor.
I like Midge. This is the first time I’ve heard her speak. She is awesome. Not going to lie. This interview was a lot more of a love fest than tough questions that I’m used to with you guys. That being said, she is an amazing player and person.
Carli Lloyd is protecting her own legacy. The USA lost because the traditional soccer nations now fund their female programs and are better at coaching so have taken the women’s game to a level the USWNT cannot match. Carli Lloyd doesn’t want to admit her World Cup wins came when there was no serious competition, so acts like the current lack of success is due to a bad attitude.
@@Set451No USA just stayed still playing the same way they always did. Fast wingers, crosses, long range shooting, corners , pressing for turnovers and defensive organisation. That was enough 4, 8 and 12 years ago against semi-pro women who didn’t train full time so didn’t have the fitness or athleticism to match the USA. Now they they are fully professional using the coaches and facilities of elite soccer teams like Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern. So players in Europe are the best they have ever been so when the USA try and press them, they have so much good full time training, they can now pass around the press and match the USA for power and fitness. That is what changed. The USA cannot get significantly better due to the culture of USA soccer. But soccer in Europe is only at the start of their evolution.
@Delboy0 having the same old play style doesn't mean your new players are of the same quality as the old ones. Your comments about other countries aren't anything I completely disagree with. I'm just saying it's both. In 2014 Germany won the world cup with Löw and in 2018 got knocked out the groups with Löw. Did everyone SK and Mexico just get that much better, or did Germany get worse?
She pretty much claims the previous squads had more grit lol like thats all its going to take these days. But to be honest, there still is not some huge gap I'm international talent. Even though we hated the performance at the world cup they were never truly dominated by an opponent. Just couldn't score to save their lives.
Carli is right about new players being soft. How many coaches have been fired for being too mean to the players in NWSL. Details never revealed, no examples given. For all the old players, you are right about them playing against semi-professional players. Coach Juan for gotham picked up every player to the next level. Every NWSL team needs to get better coaches.
Hey! I was IB too! Also people also used to tell me I'd never be a pilot and sure enough I showed them wrong. Funny how dreams come true for the people that don't listen to the neighsayers
GPA's from the early-/mid-90s kids until today is different. You would need to ask about unweighted GPAs which removes Honors and AP Classes, which were not a thing in a lot of US Schools in the 90s (the guys / my generation).
No worries most people read at that level, and that’s not a knock on anyone at all. Realistically who read at a college level if at all it’s for work - topics you already know.
Love her! She’s really cool and smart. However, I do think her view on the football system in America is a bit shortsighted and she isn’t quite seeing how quickly and by how much other countries will surpass America based on the development systems alone. Now that other nations are investing more seriously into women’s football we’re going to see it become more like the gap in men’s football, where the U.S. sabotage their own development with the pay-to-play and college stuff.
Generally agree with midte but her comment on social media and branding is false. They were clearly looking out for Themself and TikTok has nothing to do with Them being distracted (social media excited in their previous world cup)
Women’s soccer faces challenges in the future. Will the USA media give it as much mainstream coverage when the USWNT is not the dominant team, because they think it proves American exceptionism, now that traditional soccer nations are funding their female programs and closed a 50 year title 9 head start in just 4 years. And you can see the USA will not be a top 5 teams for the next 30 years, let’s see if the media give it as much importance under this new scenario, because it is their brand that they are the best.
The best woman athletes in America play soccer, they will always be a world powerhouse. Just too many people in the US. Yeah they will have a down tournament, sure.
@@jasonpeters6600No the best suburban upper middle class athletes due to the pay to play system, but not the best athletes in the USA because hardly any of the USWNT players come from the inner cities or working class backgrounds. What you are not accounting for is that many of the traditional soccer nations have yet to have the transition where their best female athletes play soccer. When this happened the USA will never win against them again. Just look at England, who are already beating the USA with an almost 100% white team with only few high level athletes. This is because the English FA in the switch over to professionalism decided close academies for girls in the big diverse cities that inadvertently excused black girls from this new elite professionalised system. the FA have admitted their mistake and trying to correct this. When these inner city black girls get into the professional academy system, who are better athletes and have more skill and where parent wealth doesn’t impact access to elite coaching, it will be game over for the USA because there are better athletes in the inner cities on England than all of the USA and proof of this is the number of NFL and NBA champions born and raised in England.
@@Delboy0 nice diatribe. Americas best woman athletes play soccer. They start at 3-4 yrs old here in South Cal. Yes even inner cities have teams. And no it’s not that expensive. Also, England is in their golden generation now, their women have been playing for decades. The US best players currently are very young.
@@Delboy0us women’s soccer is nit going anywhere . Their athletes are always going to be their and the younger usa women’s players are even better and they just need the right coach which is now Emma Hayes
The media will have to hype up all these players until no end. That sophia smith commercial at the WC where she is a boogeyman is cringe. I told everyone we weren't going to make it to the finals for months. The problems are there and they are fixable, but for that to happen we will need to adopt European system.
seems like a wonderful dad but a lot of pressure put on midge when he’d tell her what to do as a job or where to go to college. of course i don’t know the whole story but pressure is toxic. midge is intelligent and hilarious. perhaps i’m projecting my own mom’s pressure but have to let kids make decisions themselves. perhaps she did. seems so. he’s awesome, however. midge looks so much like him.
Need wins from the USWNT before I hear about any issues with society. Your first priority should be winning games. Then I’ll care about your social goals. It’s so hard to defend a team that struggles on the field, but is so outspoken on societies issues. I love the uswnt, but get your house in order before you start working on someone else’s house.
My opinion, the US national teams should not be a political platform. Represent the whole country or get off the team. Even in a club team, shouldn’t alienate fans. If you want to be in politics, get out of sports
The **** is this equal pay sh**? Simple fact, generate more revenue, earn more money... I don’t hear this idiotic equal pay noise in the modeling industry where women are earning significantly more than men. 😷
Sums up US in every sports. The only reason they ever won was due to lack of competition, just like basketball. “The dream team” dominated world basketball when nba was the only professional competition around 😂. US women football and men basketball are the equivalent of chinese in badminton. They were the only one that puts resources in, no rocket science to explain why they won. In 30 years US basketball and women football would be mediocre
There was no lack of competition in 2015 and 2019 and its obvious that you didn't watch either of those world cups...because if you did you wouldn't have said there was a lack of competition
Midge Purce speaks so eloquently and made a number of important points on the perception of female athletes. Carli Lloyd, however, is a disgrace to the badge she used to wear. Embittered after being put out to pasture, she now plies her trade attacking female footballers (often former colleagues) and entire women's teams, whilst still somehow seeming incredulous that the people she traduces don't care for it. She spent the entire World Cup pandering to clickbait and raising the temperature around the team to a really irresponsible level, where USWNT players went on to receive near-constant abuse. I don't see her as a legend anymore. She's a joke. She's a caricature of the player she used to be. Frankly, it's tragic. The hysteria surrounding the USWNT's performance at the World Cup is precisely that: hysteria. Being knocked out by the tiniest of margins against a strong team is just one of those things. You can't win every single game. Sometimes in football we get a dose of bad luck. I have never in my life witnessed so much being read into so little, as bad actors and bad faith commentators with little interest in football piled on the travails of the team in an attempt to push political agendas and wail the usual bigotry. There is no great drama for this team. It was just one poorer tournament in a series of ultimate triumphs. They will be back again at the top and they will not somehow be changing their stance on all the issues that matter simply because players like Rapinoe have retired. Ditto the latest roster. Hayes is clearly wanting to call up new and untested players to see what else is in the talent pool. She is not abandoning big names forever. It's just one roster. The media (and Carli Lloyd!) really need to stop stirring the pot at every turn. Rant over.
"You don't go to Practice to Practice....You go to Practice to show the coach how much you've been practicing" - Damn!!!! Best Quote evah
Oh she’s tough!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The ending with her dad was so awesome 😊 and look at that...got called up for December camp! Rooting for you to make the Olympic squad!!
Emma knows talent...Unlike whatzhisname.

I loved this interview! So glad Midge did that 91st Minute podcast bc I loved hearing her takes and her laughter was contagious. I loved Midge and Katie together.
Midge is a treasure. So is her dad. Absorbing all of this information made my day. Go USWNT!
I have been loving this whole series. It's so insightful, interesting, and there's always such great chemistry. It feels like less an interview and more like friends hanging out and talking, and I mean that in the best way.
I love Midge so much! She's a beast on the field and her personality is absolutely beautiful! What a heart of gold.
Such a fantastic conversation. Midge shines. And it was very special to see her interact with her dad.
best episode so far!! the end with her dad was so wholesome, also we need that rooftop 5 a side footage🙏
Loved this conversation. We need to hear Midge more often. Her insights are intelligent.
This episode made me laugh and cry. I’m a girl soccer Dad and I can’t wait to rewatch this with my daughter!
I don't actively follow women's soccer but Midge Purce just gained a new fan. Her thoughtfulness is amazing. Her vulnerability is refreshing. I hope she gets selected to play for the national team again.
Midge was selected! She's going to play in two matches against China in a week on December 1st and 5th!
This was awesome. Fav ep so far, though tbf, each ep seems to get better
I really want to see footage from this 5-a-side game

Midge was UNDENIABLE in the Championship game. She made Reign’s defenders look foolish. The best game I ever saw her play. Go on, Midge, GET YOURS!
Excellent Interview! Midge Purse is pretty special off the field as well.
Midge is a class act. So Intelligent
Dayum midge's dad sounds like he did a great job, what a great dad.
this was such a wholesome episode. hands down my favorite after the Thierry episodes.

Let’s go CBS give Midge her own show during the off season!!!
Midge!!!!! Much respect! Rooting for you. Hope to see you on USWNT soon. You are extremely intelligent and articulate.
Alright, Midge is excellent, but Papa Purce is THE MAN.
Love this conversation! I'm a girl dad as well, and I love the approach to practice gem... definitely sharing that with my daughter.
This show is so entertaining
This is how you create a great show allow the people to be themselves and worry about the PR stuff later

Carli still held grudge that she was a bench player in the greatest team run in 2019. She is jealous of Morgan’s popularity
Yooooo! “Get back in the Kitchen”’ is so wild. 😅
Oh lovely midge

No worries most people read at that level, and that’s not a knock on anyone at all. Realistically who read at a college level if at all it’s for work - topics you already know.
Maybe in the USA.
Most newspapers are written on seventh grade level.
I wonder why the USWNT prefer to play at home its friendly games, it does not push the team to get better.
They went last October to play in England and Spain...also went to New Zealand

No because they got drunk and partied in clubs. You can’t be in detail about what they do / how they celebrate
