I miss Pinoe already. Amazing player, stood up for what she believed in, and just had this intensity, swagger and bite when she played. Irreplaceable.
Facts, a living legend
There’s gonna be such a giant piece missing to the NWSL season without her 😢
She was a talent that's for sure no matter what her detractors might say about her.
I love that pinoe is self aware enough to know she isn't qualified for politics. I wish more celeb people (or people in general lol) were like that.
Yes! That position should not just be open to anyone and I hate that we’re trending in that direction. The current qualifications need to be adjusted to be more strict as well but that’s a topic for another day 😂
Anybody who WANTS to be president should not be ALLOWED to be president!
Also: These women are a whole vibe. Something about listening to Pinoe.. you can just feel her authenticity. I love it.
This is the most wholesome comments feed on CZcams I've ever seen! Congratulations, everybody.
Thanks to all of you!
First of all, Sammy is crushing it as a podcaster. I definitely would love to see her on TV more! And Pinoe… like, one of a kind legend. A historical sports legend and activist. In 100 years looking back to this time, people will be talking about her actions and how she used her voice. What I love is that she is so open about her utilization of therapy and mental health to balance her journey, foster self-awareness, and develop her mindset and outlooks. She also never acts in isolation and brings people in close to consult. Values the village. Just such an amazing human. I would absolutely love to meet Pinoe and have dinner and just rap on life. Hope I get to meet this incredible human one day. Awesome interview!!!
Pinoe is a living legend. Love her insights about the youngsters. Im looking forward to seeing what Emma is gonna do with this iteration of the national team.
We’ve seen so many iterations over the last 15 years and there were always ebbs and flows see 2008, 2011 failures. I think we’ve got to let go of comparisons to older teams and let these young people do their own thing. Its like Pinoe said, these young women are so damn talented, I cant wait to see what Emma builds them into. They are going to be a problem!
Great insight from Pinoe. She's so incredibly smart and thoughtful.
Yessss!!!!! Hi Sam! Loving all this content! My 8yo son is presenting on Megan Rapinoe as his biography project TODAY. Can't wait to show him this episode!
Tell him we said hello! 👋
When I think about Pinoe, I think about the Gloria Steinem quote “The truth will set you free but first it’s going to piss you off.” Such a beautiful sense of integrity.
Two living legends right here!!! Thank you, Pinoe, for standing up for what's right, and being a badass soccer player! Thank you Sam, for starting this incredible new endeavor, and your skills on the field. Miss you both.⚽️❤️
Thank you so much for doing this interview! The joy and appreciation you have for each other is obvious! I am going through some major changes and upheaval in my life, and hearing how the both of you are managing with the big changes of your own gave me a lot of courage to find my own path. Thank you so very much for the inspiration, laughter, and smiles. It was highly appreciated!
You are so welcome!
Just read Megan's autobiography and it's amazing how wrong the media has her. Her intentions are standing up for what's right and she's a strong and unapologetic player and person
Pinoe has been asked and explained so many times the reason she kneel, but haters were all “no matter what, she kneeled” also twisted and quoted her out of the contexts. Sad to see people are so lazy to check the fact and believe and spread all these lies.
One of those things I admire about Pinoe is that she’s so brave and insist to fight for the inequalities.
You mean the media that excused her BS?
What a great interview! Please do more with Rapinoe!
PINOE!! So nice to see her and hear from her. I still remember the day Pinoe and the Red Stars came over here to the Bay Are for a game v our Gold Pride. I was there with my daughter's AYSO team. After the game we passed by Pinoe who was on the side most likely talking to family as they are from close by. Those were the days,Sam!
YESSSSS! Megan is a legend! I love hearing her perspectives. I Another great interview, Sam!
Pinoeeeee!!! What an awesome episode ❤ Sam you are killing it in this new role...I follow you on everything 😂 keep it coming!!!
Hey Sam, thank you so much for presenting this show. You are really helping to educate us on soccer and providing us with some amazing interviews.
Glad you enjoy it!
Keep up the incredible work Sam you made us proud out there 🎉🎉🎉
Pinoe’s genius is her humility. It’s what people might never know about her if you just pinned her based off of her fame but wow she’s super wise and humble. Open. Stays curious. Always learning. This is what makes her so bad ass. I love her modeling this for others. You MUST be self aware and emotionally intelligent. You can’t plow through life and tough it out. Not sustainable
Sam was made for this! I open CZcams just waiting for new videos. Well done! 👏👏👏
More to come!
@@WomensGameMiB ❤️
Sam it would also be so amazing for you to interview older USWNT players- like the 1999ers! Hamm, Lilly, Akers, Chastain, Foudy. I would love to hear how their thoughts on current USWNT status, younger players, legacy convo !
I so miss Pinoe and Sam on the pitch (especially on the USWNT). I love what Pinoe stand for and stands up for - in her heart and soul she is a humanitarian. She uses her voice, stands on principal and was a kick-ass player. FULL STOP 🤩 I can't wait to see what she does in the next.
2 Legends! Love the episode Sammy!🫶🏼💖
great show Sam! keep them coming! 🖖
Absolutely legendary interview! So much joy listening to you and Pinoe, Sam!
2019 UWNT, GOAT. Name a better team.
I love pinoe with all my heart. she is so deeply missed. great prospect and wise words always.
Wonderful interview! My first ep watching instead of just listening, and so glad I did. Thank you!
we missing seeing you both on the soccer field, glad to see you both seem to be doing well and are happy!
Damn, Sam you ask amazing questions and hold incredible space for people. I’m loving the space you are holding for P to answer super thoughtfully. Like this really insightful side. Loving this! Lol again, me just always commenting live while watching 😂
man there's been so much content since you've come on, I can barely keep up!
Thank you for posting the game schedules and way to watch. So many people are complaining about it and it's really not hard with your help!
This was a good interview for Megan. I feel after the World Cup loss and her injury in the NWSL final last year she probably felt a bit jaded and I think that came off in her interactions with the press. She seems more clear headed and can see that even though the ending might not have been a fairy tale her career was amazing. She really impacted the world in a positive way and her efforts to give women in sports the deserved platform will live on for generations.
Loved this interview- soooo insightful! Great questions- I love hearing Pinoe’s perspective on all of this
Hey Sam, GREAT work on The Women's Game. VERY GOOD CONTENT in all it's many guises, whether with Rog or with Lynn and Becky or with your player interviews! Excited to hear Jess Fishlock's "BEST 11"...will this be "a new thing" for your POD visitors? Good luck and GREAT WORK! Keep enjoying yourself!
Great interview! All things we want to hear & from 2 people we want to hear from!!! Keep it coming!!!🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely loved this episode and think you both did such a great job discussing some really important issues affecting this team and women’s sports as a whole. I miss watching both of you play but am really excited to watch as you navigate these new roles. 💕💕
Love the show !
I love learning about Becky, had no idea players see her the way they do.
Wonderful work. Pinoe is always a treat!
Love this! ❤ Sam! You are doing amazing work!!!! don’t stop!!! And Can Pinoe have her own series of episodes?
I love this episode. Sam your questions were great!
Pinoe is so underrated for her wisdom. I’ve always loved her and I read her biography, and even though she’s outspoken she’s generally well-spoken. Please do more with her! Great interview Sammy ❤
I LOVE this episode! It was so good to see Pinoe thriving again and to hear about everything she has been up to during retirement. Two great athletes living life and sharing insights. Love it!
Sam I am so incredibly proud of you and what you’ve decided to do with the cards you’ve been handed. Your an inspiration, a role model and an absolute legend. You will always be one of my favorite soccer players EVER. I’m so excited to see how you will impact the women’s game in your new role! All love!!!! ❤
Great content!!
Great episode and great talk with Pinoe. Sam asks great questions and as always Pinoe keeps it real! I’m very excited to see more of how you both speak, represent, and advocate for The Women’s Game, thank you!
Great interview!
loved everything about this, beautiful stuff.
Great interview Sam! Love you and Pinoe together - you're a BOSS!
I am loving this
Megan rapinoe is not a loser you a legend ❤❤❤
Great interview love Megan.
This was so thoughtful, powerful, and funny, thanks Sam and Pinoe!
I love Pinoe soo much I went to so many reign games and would always watch her. She is such a legend of the game and just woman’s history I love her swag and just her being her self. I am so glad I got to watch this awesome interview with two legend of the game!
My favorite podcast host by far :))) and such good guests!!!!!!!
Great interview w/ 2 of my faves
what a juicy and engaging interview! love the range of questions from Sam (Saudi Arabia to bedtime routine? yes, we want to know!) and the thoughtful answers from Pinoe. loving this podcast!
excellent episode
Omgomgomg never clicked something so FAST 💨
Same, i just wanna keep listening this all day long.
Aww… sammy, I love this episode so so so darn
you girls discussed so much and left more for us to think about. this one hour is not enough for me.
I think the major awards missing out of Pinoe were Ballon d’or and FIFA’s best player, reminded me how great the 2019 was, I agree with you 2019 was the best team
I felt the sincerity of Pinoe said about Sam, I had tears in my eyes. Sam is one of my most fav of the national team, I hate the injury ended Sam’s career but all the best to Sam ☺️👍🏽
Have always loved Pinoe since the early days, living legend!
crazy how everyone hates on her when all she has is love for this upcoming team. While Lloyd shits on them every chance she gets and is working for media.......
Sam can you get Caitlin Clark on lol let’s get you interviewing different female athletes outside of soccer! That would be such a cool contrast interview but also probably so many overlaps
You both are the best
PRESIDENT PINOE 20...any and every year!!! We miss you in Seattle Pinoe & Sue! You'll always have a place there!!!!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍
Grateful for Pinoes contribution to the USWNT in her early years but hate her antics the last few years on the team. Such a shame the way she ended her career. I hope the younger players learn not only from her good points but also from the mistakes she made.
Let gooo sam mewis we excited for Megan rapinoe ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Hello Sam. You cannot deny the determination, just in conversation. I can imagine Emma Hayes keeping Megan at a distance, to make sure it is her message getting heard, just because she would want to be seen to be the boss.
From watching World Cup coverage elsewhere, I saw there are other opinions in US about the topics discussed, so interesting to hear this side too.
LET GOO SAM MEWIS AND MEGAN 🎉🎉🎉
love Sam Mewis content
Sam! Just a suggestion. What if you wore all of the NWSL kits, on rotation, for one of your series? :)
So much I agree with what Megan said the fact that the team is going to be different now it’s different players.
The team was so much built around certain players who have now retired and yes there were other players but the core of the team was so stable that made a difference and that includes you Sam but I also think that because soccer and as I’m English hate calling it that has become so much more professional in Europe in fact in England we still have players who are on the national team who had to travel to the US to play professional soccer because in Europe it wasn’t like that when we became professional we were always going to improve so yes we obviously are catching the US
Love this! If you want the fire, you have to deal with the ashes...
Excellent podcast, specifially about the last WC and Olympics .. people think the USA is supposed to be #1 all the time, it would be nice but that is not realistic , i was happy we won the Bronze, spoiled Americans are so critical. it is ebb and flow and the a good coach is absolutely important.
que linda entrevista. las dos son muy genias
Sam ur the best.
This is such a clever podcast name omg
I very clearly remember hearing a mini interview PRIOR to the Olympics ands World Cup by both Pinoe and Becky saying something like (paraphrasing), " Vladko has a plan. If it doesn't work out, it's on him". At that point, I was wondering if the team was totally on board with his plan.
Fascinated about Pinoe's Saudi comments. Beyond the players, what will fans experience? Female fans? LGBTQ fans? Assuming the players will receive some kind of exception or protection - will the fans be protected?
Pinoe for President!
Q. Is Pinoe interested in coaching? I think she would be an amazing mentor and coach.
35 is minimum age to run for President I believe.
Another fascinating episode btw.
I think the priority is on winning world cups so waiting for Emma is not such a big deal.
The internet tabs question… I just looked at mine and I have 492 open 😅
I want to know when Megan is running for office. Bill Bradley was one of the few liberals to move from sports to Congress. We need more!
Then I got to the question. No, Megan, you're wrong. You've worked on political issues. We don't need more lawyers, especially not from the Ivy League. We need citizens who understand issues and you fit that bill.
Exactly. We have enough career politicians. We need some regular people who are smart and human.
You should get Neaher on your show
💜
Down to clown!!!😂😂😂
Vladko was absolutely horrible with the media.
When will we see Good Vibes FC merch?? PS: You have to be 35 to be POTUS, Pinoe - you're old enough!
Alyssa has the U20 World Cup over Hope.
Carli Lloyd really pointed the finger at players like Megan for the recent failures of the team, too many off the field shenanigans , lack of winning mentality because of the distractions like self promotions etc.. What did these two feel about those comments? I urge Megan to go and interview with Alexi Lalas and set him straight on why women need to be activist too...he seems to feel that has been the teams downfall. Sammy is a great interviewer .
Sam are u still being called up by the national team?
Hey pinoe ...
Love Sam's work, but not this guest. Pinoe turned off more people to football than she will ever know. I am so glad to move on from her. I disagree with most of what she says. So glad to have the leadership and media style of Lindsey Horan. More players should go to Europe as young as possible, that goes for women and men.
48:45 for another classic Rapidiot take. Truly the worst representative for womens sports of all time
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
American legend? Wtf are you smoking
Crapinoe is only good in talking trash than playing soccer!!!
26:13 for the worst take of all time
