[@gccopi]

Great interview and wonderful Family. Good luck to the girls and glad we will be able to see them play here in LA as A.T just turned pro🎉

Amazing. Deserved. And long overdue.

[@Joseph-nn9nl]

They will be playing in WSL for Chelsea/Arsenal in 5 to 7 years time.

How Much Do You Have To Pay To Sign With A Brand ?

[@lovefoolish2019]

crazy that alyssa is playing in the world cup right now

[@danieltimbers400]

She was about to tell us how physically stronger men are compared with women and they cut it off and then switched to the mum who said the opposite.😂😂 Anything that doesn't fit their narrative is rooted out. This is comedy

[@kuriouskitty3084]

They’re faster, that’s science & biology, but stronger? Depends on the individual what’s your point?🙄

It's the worst thing to happen to sports.......between that a transfer potacall Sports are ruined. Just waiting for the first of many FIXED games (now that we have sooo much betting in sports)....it's very sad..

[@Arkoff2008]

“Potacall”? Kids deserve to be paid if adults and schools are profiting off of them. That’s not ruining sports.

[@lightingbolt8148]

😂😂😂

[@kirstieb8025]

no fixed games in woso

[@arthurau9231]

It's funny how these sisters plays soccer when most Americans don't even consider soccer to be a sport anyways and that most if not all soccer players are divers and drama queens and are considered weak.

[@ashleytarter3799]

Never heard that before. My little one is a rising soccer player in high school and she absolutely loves it. I told her she could do whatever she wants as long as she puts the time and dedication into it. My husband played most of every sport and he mentioned soccer was by far the toughest sport he has played.

[@joewatson6686]

This is a strange comment

[@sportsfan4765]

There’s a lot of Americans who like soccer.

[@wjx5081]

Please at least fact check the next time you say something worthless that does not contribute to the conversation in any way. It seems like you are spreading misinformation on purpose.

[@lightingbolt8148]

Lots like it, so such a weird comment
