Sam is so excited, she can barely catch her breath. 🤣

[@wlmt9706]

Sam's excitement to have Lynn and Becky with her for the Podcast just flowed through the screen. I think I was smiling the entire episode. The part about Allyssa and her stoic attitude was cute and hysterical.. I'm devestated Sam can no longr play but wow she's an amazing interviewer and such a joy to watch.. well done girls.

[@xxballerbabe13xx]

Becky has such a soothing, NPR voice. Here for it always.

[@1412rsm]

Sam talking about Cat 🥹 I am so teary eyed :(

[@thereallg4587]

*Sam is back and with Lynn AND Becky. 👏👏👏*

[@tomwiechert2799]

This is great !! Sam !! May I suggest you all try to take time in each episode to do some Educational segments to help understand the game better, Like why teams play certain ways formations, positioning, players starting, subbing or whatever you think is valuable to answer fans questions. 66 year old man here ,been following USWNT since 99 like a lot of fans. Also now following Engalnd NT, and WSL and all games US players teams in other countries. Aside from USWNT I follow NWSL, Favorite Teams over seas Chelsea & Arsenal, Lyon and more. BUT ! USWNT #1 Keep up the good work this new one is badly needed !! :) :) :}

[@kirstieb8025]

yes, like what is the 10, 6 positions?

[@lilahgrah]

@@kirstieb8025the 10 is a attacking mid 6 is a defensive mid

[@alehiggins]

LOVE THIS IDEA. Do it Sam!! Please. 😅

[@Bobbyearl78]

Please do this. So many places you can go with this. From soccer tactics, positions, to old youth days and what you had to do during tournaments then.

[@dennisnguyen8105]

USWNT new slogan "We'll beat you in the sunshine, we'll beat you in the shade, we'll beat you in the swimming pool"

[@JennniferLeeKerns]

LOL! This.

[@novanights2chevy597]

I was at the swamp game. A lot of us SD Wave fans love Sheridan (Canada and SD Wave GK) and know what a badass can be. But Alyssa just took over. We were in awe and screaming our lungs out. Such a great ending to a ridiculous game.

[@melissaalcaraz1041]

This was so delightful, I was smiling the whole time! I love all of your chemistry and Sam’s little side eye when she says a joke or pun or something she’s really proud of 😂

[@monicastuart5979]

Sooo excited to have Sam and Lynn back. Becky is a perfect addition.

[@David-yy9kl]

Sam... you da GOAT! God damn. The future is now. I'm so glad your voice is in the sport. We need more voices like Sammy Mew

[@whattheheooooo]

WE ARE SO BACK!!! Love this trio!!!! We are definitely in for a good time

[@JennniferLeeKerns]

[@its__VP]

What an incredible first episode! So glad to have this trio back in action!

[@cathyhosang7480]

I’m all in for good vibes.

[@beckygee867]

“Don’t pass it, kick it to the fast kids!!” 💀 that was exactly what I was thinking every time they hesitated and thought of passing it backwards lmao

[@Shdoeb]

I'm so happy to see these two join! So excited Becky is joining the duo. :) Yay!

[@nanleekley9091]

Really excited that Becky is here, her take on Defense please

[@jb4fun706]

Excited for future episodes. My question is: can you explain the role of the captain? Are they constantly relaying info from the coach or directing the players while playing on their own. Thx

[@Kamila-nh5jx]

I'll be travelling from Canada to NJ to watch Gotham play the Thorns in August!! Im so excited!!

[@joycetayag7115]

OMG!! What a nice surprised! This makes me so happy 😁 So looking forward to hearing more of this!! 🎉🎉 You guys are the best “podheads” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Bobbyearl78]

Sam, you are at your best when you are able to just enjoy the moment. We could all tell you were enjoying yourself here a lot. Thank you for sharing your relationships and love of the game with us. It is so fun to see.

[@dcu112]

@SammyMewwy NC temperature is 70F with UNC Blue skies. Can't wait for Saturday's game! Congratulations on the induction.

[@scottwalsh4981]

It's actually the viewers that are the most excited! Thanks, ladies!

[@JennniferLeeKerns]

Lol ok I’m just gonna comment live as I watch bc I have thoughts 😂 I’m so happy seeing this team under Twila. The joy is back and despite all the changes and shifts I felt folks had more freedom in their play but the kind that comes from leadership and structure from coaches.

[@chancegio5676]

Love this, can’t wait for more episodes!!

[@user-ol9uq7jf1u]

I love love this line up! So happy to see you all! 💕

[@kylieharrison9934]

Glad to have you all back. Great job ladies.

[@kingalyssa]

love love love the alter ego theme! gotta do a snacks tribute (also could do sub-categories of snacks like candy, salty snacks, movies snacks, etc.)

[@alexburns5410]

Huge Current fan but love all of y’all. I was at the game on Saturday and it was a blast and love the new stadium. I am hoping that the other teams follow the Currents lead and give their women their own space!!!! KC BABY!!!!!

[@TheChosenOne42513]

Let gooo girls continue to Make us proud out there let gooo Sam Lynn and Becky 🎉🎉🎉

[@rosamoran4770]

This is great! I’m excited to listen/watch you every week, and I’m so glad you added Becky to make it a trio! Like one guy mentioned I would like it if you explained certain aspects of the game better… like why some formations are played over others, and other fan questions.

[@danielleizzy17]

I’ll be at The Challenge Cup! Kick ass Lynn!

[@nataliatmontano2708]

Ive been waiting for this all morning!!!!

[@LisaLawless-mg4xm]

Great show ladies !! You three are delightful and fun and definitely good vibes. Very zen.

[@cecgirl77]

Love it ! Can’t wait for more!

[@JennniferLeeKerns]

OMG OBSESSED W THE VIBE!

[@marksoliva2332]

Chomp Chomp That's all I'm gonna say lol

[@JennniferLeeKerns]

As a OG fan, diehard 99er days, I didn’t think what Horan said about US fans wasn’t wrong lol. I think it was blunt but she is correct that we are just not where Euro fans are. We are more about the wwf entertainment (collectively) first then we get into tactics and the strategy. That’s coming but we can’t compete with the legacy of euro fans. It’s ok. It’s history. It’s definitely coming for USA but Horan just isn’t sugarcoating. USA fans wanna party and that’s ok, we are growing as a country and soccer isn’t our number 1 foot so depth of understanding on the game is something that the general person wouldn’t know likely but in England… different.

[@kristiannelson1851]

Agree. Those who know football / soccer knew what Lindsay was saying and it was true and not a big deal. Those who don’t know…just don’t know, and create the problems.

[@LukeShaw576]

it doesn't matter if she was right or not...its a stupid thing for the captain of a team to call their fans stupid. Also her calling the news a "unprofessional league" when most of the players she captains plays there, that was more disrespectful tbh

[@Mickey-ks7tv]

fr its annoying people saying "oh but she was right"....like it doesn't matter if she was right its still a rude and just dumb thing to say as a captain and representative of the team @@LukeShaw576

[@44mariad]

“We hope your freaking excited, because gosh we sure are” 100% !!! So excited for this podcast. Thanks for making this exist.

[@morganevans2297]

Love you all. Becky, thank you for all you’ve done. I’ve been trying to get a match jersey with your name on it for almost a year and they’re nowhere! Anyway, can’t wait for more episodes!

[@treycarmichael3605]

It's practically summer here in Dallas. Good show ladies! Loved hearing about that slog in the rain. Congratulations Lynn and Becky (and all the baller on USWNT)!

[@kros-lt7mr]

3 of my favourite straight people. Yay! I love your take on football. Good luck with Good Vibes FC

[@eceperley]

Such a great way to start my day. Love you guys and your good vibes!!!!

[@WomensGameMiB]

Yay! Thank you!

[@piemacri]

Loving Good Vibes FC! Excited to tag along all season! What could be better than Sam, Lynn and Becky? Absolutely nothing. Great hosts.

[@user-vs6nn1vo7v]

LOVE IT!!!!

[@JackLukeRyan]

You guys make this so enjoyable…good to have those insights.l.

[@christymora]

Rodman waited until the second defender came up to free up Fox for that fantastic play

[@marycalissie1977]

Omg 🎉 I’m so happy!!! To see this

[@marymiller7510]

YEAH!!! Love it!! Great show and LOVE the addition w Becky ;-) Lets Go WAVE! (sorry Lynn) ;-) Cheers...

[@krisjohnson-proctor355]

Aww, I'm going to LOVE this! I've followed Sam and Lynn's podcast for ages but it's so cool to get to see and hear from the Legend that is Becky, too ( I'm English but you can't be a women's football fan without knowing who Becky is!)! . Congrats on winning the Gold Cup - I loved how tight it all was, re so many teams being real contenders. Very like our Euros? Hopefully this Competition will run a run and, through that, you guys, and Brazil etc, will become more visible and known outside of the World Cup and Olympics. Eek, feel.i have to clarify that! The USA are respected as ( until recently) the very BEST in the World!! But...I went to a quiz night over Xmas and in the Sports part one of the questions was " Name 11 USA football players, male and/or female". I wrote 11 women's names in a FLASH, because I love/follow US women's soccer, but we were the only team to scored more than 3 players! Why? Bcos we only ever see you at the WC or the Olympics ( and ditto you, we Europeans) 👀☺️

[@TheGamblerGomez4097]

Congrats! I'm hopeful it's going to be a awesome summer in Paris 2024.

[@lindseyduran1901]

Made my entire day ❤

[@courtneysharpe2483]

I’m so excited for this trio! All is right in the world when Sam and Lynn are podcasting together again!

[@JennniferLeeKerns]

Horan has a little Michelle Akers in her and I fckin love it when she’s Aries activated and fired up. She’s so underrated as a player and I honestly think she’s one of the best players in the world. I want her to get Ballon D’Or one day

[@joelboriek5971]

Enjoyed the episode, love Lynn! My friend coached Becky down in Richmond years ago. Jesse Meyers and I played soccer together in NJ a long time ago. Nice shout out to Macario, I'm a big Chelsea fan, both men and women, thanks god for the women right now!

[@catirific]

Love this so much and Becky has the most soothing fabulous radio voice 🥰

[@samz102007]

On the topic of Alyssa Naehers PK I always thought that goal keepers and strikers just watching as a fan always make the best penalty kicks. Strikers it’s their job to score and GK’s have that in them as well. I don’t know if it’s because they go up against each other in training but they have it in their blood. I’m surprised more GK’s don’t step up tbh. But Alyssa is cold blooded. Never a nervous bone in her body

[@annieoverman5230]

the “what? like this is hard?” 😂😂💀 fr… also love y’all sm!!

[@anger101]

good vibes, good group. Love this!

[@alexkatsanos8475]

[@TheChosenOne42513]

This broadcast is fire 🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉

[@mquinteiro]

Girls, you are fabulous and the podcast is really great. It's so good to listen to someone who really understands what football is.

[@Aficionado-te2wm]

I am so excited for this show. I was a fan of Snacks and now this is like upgraded and reloaded. Great Addition of Becky! I want to get to know her and discover why she was such a beloved part of the National Team for many years.

[@carmelrotem]

Hoping for some Good Vibes FC merch!

[@panamenopty305]

Excellent pod! Quick question, why some of the veterans did not take PKs?

[@oshea03]

"Why does everyone think this is hard?" Had me rolling Sammy 😂

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Sam and pals. Your smile makes this channel a happy place, even before any thoughts of what those pearly whites could onflict on innocent Yorkshire puddings.

[@theodoremorehouse6460]

Glad you are excited. What is the show meant to be about? Just three friends chatting?
