Episode 197: Carli Lloyd Special

Women’s World Football Show, Episode 197 – Features Soundbites from USWNT Legend Carli Lloyd; USWNT Head Coach Vlatko Andonovski and Defender Andi Sullivan

Tuesday, October 26, 2021  USWNT hosts Korea Republic at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was a historical night because it was the final game in a USA jersey for Carli Lloyd.

With a career that spanned 17 years, 315 caps (second most capped player in world soccer history behind Kristine Lilly), and 134 international goals, (third in USWNT history and fourth all-time in world history), it’s only fitting that we dedicate a whole episode dedicated to Carli Lloyd – through her own words.

This episode gathers highlights of Carli’s final press conferences with the national team and soundbites of her WWFShow interview from 2015. What was her first camp like? How will she influence the next generation of players? What’s next? Carli answers all these questions and more. If you’re a Carli Lloyd fan, you will relish this episode! If you’re not a fan, you will be after listening to Episode 197.

We’ll also hear from USWNT Head Coach Vlatko Andonovski and Defender Andi Sullivan.

Episode 114: Sullivan, Sonnett, Davidson, Butler, Nadim

Episode 114: Women’s World Football Show features interviews with USWNT players Andi Sullivan, Emily Sonnett, Tierna Davidson and Head Coach Jill Ellis; One-on-one with Millwall Lionesses LFC defender Jordan Butler; and an exclusive with Denmark and Manchester City striker Nadia Nadim.

Boston Breakers
It’s a sad day for the NWSL and women’s football as the  longest running professional women’s soccer team in the USA has folded after a deal for potential new ownership fell apart. The Breakers were founded in 2000 and were part of NWSL predecessor leagues the WUSA and WPS, and is the first NWSL team to fold since the league was established in 2013. So how did the demise of one of the more storied franchises in women’s soccer history come about? Patty and Adam dissect the situation and share details of the dispersion draft, season ticket refunds and other information.

2018 NWSL College Draft
A few draft day mega-trades overshadowed the 2018 NWSL College Draft. Adam and Patty take a close look at the trades, the high selections and some of the surprises. Plus, Patty chats with the No. 1 draft pick and newest member of the Washington Spirit Andi Sullivan! We find out how the Stanford standout dealt with the crazy course of events that lead up to her 11th hour declaration into the draft, her thoughts on playing for her hometown team, her incredible 2017 college season and more!

Jordan Butler
Adam sits down with Millwall Lionesses LFC defender Jordan Butler. Joining the Millwall system at only 8 years old, Jordan shares what it’s like to grow up in a Millwall kit. Backed by the love and support of her family, and especially her dad, Jordan takes us through her journey to play professional football, how she overcame serious injury and more. This is a spirited interview with an inspirational player and proud to have Jordan on the show!

USA vs Denmark
The U.S. Women’s National Team kicked off its 2018 campaign with a somewhat come-from-behind 5-1 win against EURO Women’s runner-up Denmark in front of 17,526 fans at SDCCU Stadium January 21, 2018. We hear from USWNT Head Coach Jill Ellis as she assesses a few of the youngsters on the team and reflects on some of her lessons learned while being at the helm of the national team.

Defender Tierna Davidson earned her first cap for the USA, becoming the 21st player to make a WNT debut under Jill Ellis. We hear from the 19-year old college sophomore after her first cap. Patty couldn’t let Denmark leave town without talking to fan-favorite Nadia Nadim. The former NWSL star and now striker with Manchester City discusses her transition to the English league, her time in the NWSL, the Denmark WNT and more!
