Episode 109 of Women’s World Football Show features exclusive interviews with Canada striker Jordyn Huitema, and USA stars Julie Ertz and Sophia Huerta. Plus sound bites from head coaches Jill Ellis (USA) and John Herdman (Canada).

Jordyn Huitema
The 16-year old striker from Chilliwack, B.C. is already making a name for herself as the future of Canadian soccer. Jordy takes the time to let us know a little more about how she discovered soccer, how growing up in a competitive household helped shape her desire to be the best, and what its like to be compared to Christine Sinclair.

The 5-foot-9 (and growing!) football phenom also chats about her first cap at Algarve 2017, the USA vs Canada experience and where she sees herself after high school. Whether or not you are a Canadian supporter, you’ll want to get to know Jordyn Huitema – She’s going to be around for awhile. (9:45′)

Julie Ertz and Sofia Huerta
When in Rome – err Santa Clara… We couldn’t visit Avaya Stadium without talking to two of the biggest names to come out of Santa Clara University soccer program – USA defenders Julie Ertz and Sofia Huerta. We go back in time when Julie was called Johnston and played just about every position for the Broncos. What were some of her favorite memories of those days and how has she evolved into the leader she is today. As always, Julie gives us thoughtful answers. (24:55′)

Next up, we visit wth the pride of Boise, Idaho Sofia Huerta. The amicable defender is finding her way on the USA team shortly after trading in her Mexico jersey for the USA crest. As the first ever to play for and against US Soccer, Sofia shares her thoughts on the milestone event. Plus, how much pressure does she feel now that she’s donning the USA shirt? How has Ertz influenced her on and off the pitch? And how important was it for her to take her game to the Australian W-League? Sofia lets us in on these questions and MORE! (28′)

Jill Ellis and John Herdman
It can’t be a rivalry without chatting to the gaffers. USA head coach Jill Ellis schools us on the making of a winning team just in time for Women’s World Cup 2019. Is her USA team really set? Is there room on the team for Ali Krieger and Meghan Klingenberg? Is Naeher her Number One keeper? Jill breaks it down as simply as possible! (16:20)

We also hear from Canada Head Coach John Herdman, who is over the moon about his new Canadian team. The colorful coach talks about his young team, the future of the team and the growth of Jordyn Huitema. (7:25)

Episode 105: Jane Campbell, Kristen Edmonds

Episode 105 of Women’s World Football Show features interviews with two of the most popular players in the NWSL, Houston Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell and Orlando Pride midfielder Kristen Edmonds.

Jane Campbell was drafted 15th overall in the 2017 NWSL and hasn’t slowed down since. The former Stanford University standout won the starting goalkeeper position in Houston and is currently the USA Women’s National Team No. 2 keeper behind Alyssa Naeher.

In this interview Jane chats about the current condition Hurricane Harvey has left the city, how the city is getting stronger and what kind of impact it has made on the team.

Jane has a family tradition with Stanford University, but you’ll be surprised to hear that playing for The Cardinal was not her first choice. Also the Atlanta native takes us back to her youth days, gives her thoughts on playing in the NWSL, and more! Get to know Jane Campbell in this exclusive interview! (3:00’)

Kristen Edmonds
The pride of Metuchen, New Jersey stops by to chat about her career and the current upswing in the Orlando Pride. Currently rehabbing from a calf strain, Kristen Edmonds gives us an update on her injury and if she’ll be ready for the playoffs (Spoiler – She’s getting stronger!!).

Growing up, Kristen was highly influenced by the USWNT and watched her idol Mia Hamm in the 1999 Women’s World Cup at Giants Stadium. There was no stopping the kid from New Jersey from there. While she stayed close to home for college (at Rutgers University), Kristen decided to go off and play overseas for a few years before coming back and settling in to become one of the best midfielders in the NWSL.

Kristen gives us a close-up view of the Pride and what makes this team so special. Plus, she shares her love for dogs, her future plans, and why it’s always important to never quit! If you’re looking for an inspiring story, the Kristen Edmonds interview is here!! (39:00’)

Recaps of USA vs. New Zealand (and is there room for Ali Krieger??), England vs. Russia (will Mark Sampson answer the tough questions?), and Australia vs. Brazil (Lisa De Vanna leads the Matilda’s & Socceroos with all time goals).

Plus…
Adam gives us a colorful rundown of the current NCAA Div l women’s college soccer rankings; Patty attempts to rattle off the UEFA Women’s Champions League 2017/18 Round of 32 draw. And MORE!
