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.

Episode 196: Amy Sayer

Women’s World Football Show, Episode 196 – Featuring Amy Sayer, Australia Women’s National Team and Stanford University Midfielder

The last time Amy Sayer was on our show was in 2018 when she was only 16-years old. Now all grown up and attending Stanford University in California, Amy is really making a name for herself in D1 soccer for the acclaimed university.

Amy Sayer

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Amy Sayer came up through the national team youth system, playing for the U17 and U20 Australia Women’s National Team. Starting academy play at only 11-years old, Amy was picked up by Canberra United of the W-League at just 14-years old. She then joined her hometown team Sydney FC before making her senior Matilda debut at Tournament of Nations in 2018 against Japan.

After graduating high school, Amy brought her game to America where she’s playing and studying at Stanford University. Now she’s embracing American culture (yes she has a hunting license!) and improving her game to be the best she can be on the pitch and off. She talks about her role model Lisa DeVanna, Women’s World Cup 2023, and more! Amy is part of the future of the Matildas and you do not want to miss this interview! (8′)
