U.S. Women’s National Team recently faced China in two international friendlies and WWFShow was at the first match in Sandy, Utah.

Starting with soundbites from Jill Ellis (16:32) and Alex Morgan (17:29′) giving their expert assessment of Pinoe. Finally, we hear from the popular player herself in two interviews (pre-game and post-game)! Listen as Pinoe shares her secrets of success, how she changed her diet and fitness program after her recent ACL injury, and does she think she’s playing the best football of her career? Pinoe gives us the truth and nothing but the truth! Plus… just what does wearing the rainbow numbers on the back of her jersey mean to her? It’s all Pinoe and it’s all here! (18:33)

Veronica Latsko
There’s no one single path to playing professional soccer and the journey is different for everyone. In this exclusive Veronica Latsko, Houston Dash, NWSLinterview, Adam sits down with Houston Dash striker Veronica Latsko to talk about her soccer journey and the new heights she’s reaching in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). The University of Virginia standout had to wait until the third round and the 28th pick of the 2018 NWSL College Draft before she found out she would be playing for Vera Pauw’s Dash.

In this highly spirited conversation, Veronica gives us a glimpse into the draft-day experience, comparisons to the college game, and her quick rise to stardom in Houston. Plus, the Pittsburgh native talks about the growth of women’s soccer in her hometown, the fast pace of the pro leagues, and some of her toughest competitors. There’s no better time to get to know this rising star than right now and right here on WWFShow! (40:30)
