Tobin and Christen Break Down USA vs Portugal with Abby Dahlkemper & Jess Fishlock ⚽️ | Episode 4

Tobin and Christen return with a supersized episode of The RE-CAP Show! After watching the USWNT tie Portugal in a heart pounding 0 to 0 World Cup match, they discuss what they saw and what they would like to see in the Round of 16. Later, Tobin has a conversation with NWSL and Welsh international star, Jess Fishlock, for her thoughts on the game and the US performance as well. Then, they are joined by friend and teammate, USWNT defender Abby Dahlkemper, for an insightful interview on playing in a toxic environment, prioritizing your mental health, “The Year of Abby D.” and so much more. Finally, Tobin sits down with an “off the field gamechanger,” Ally CMO, Andrea Brimmer to learn about what Ally is doing to provide a more equitable playing field in Women’s Sports. And, as always, community questions, a Japan / Norway prediction and Tobin’s Top Things!

Tobin Heath just letting you know that you were quoted and named checked on British TV coverage of the USA vs Portugal about you comment that the USA cannot just outmuscle teams anymore and have to become more technical and tactically sophisticated. If you said that, you are the only person speaking the truth in the US soccer who are either being to delusionally positive or scapegoating the coach for the rest of the world catching up and surpassing the Usa tactically and technically.

I would rather listen to Tobin’s and Christen’s razor sharp post-match assessments than literally any current women’s soccer commentator out there to date. They strive to keep their emotions out of their observations (& own up to it when they can’t) and, good lord, I feel like this is mana from heaven. THIS is what we have been thirsting after for a long time: two USWNT veterans giving us the real deal. It goes without saying their commentator chemistry is off the charts, which makes them that much more the perfect fit for the WWC2023 breakdowns. I foresee a sports tv contract in their future (& ESPN, FOX SOCCER, etc would be fools not to see how successful their YT cast is going to be).

Don’t they get it. This guy is sabotaging the team on purpose. There is no explanation. He must be sabotaging the team at every turn. He could not naturally be this bad.

[@kieranwilson4769]

@@postcardsfromprotest the impact of the pay to play nature of US soccer is overstated in my opinion. Youth American football, basketball, and baseball are all becoming more and more pay to play but it hasn’t hindered development. If anything, it has made it better. The real problem with youth soccer is that kids aren’t fans of the sport. There is a significant disparity between the number of parents that watch soccer and the number of parents that sign their kids up to play soccer. If kids aren’t watching the game, emulating their favorite players, dreaming of playing professionally, etc. no amount of development will put them ahead of the kids who are. The pay to play factor doesn’t stop a kid from going outside to kick a ball around, but not being a fan does.

[@Mark_Cadden]

Something very obvious here is that Tobin (and taking nothing from Christen who is equally as great) is genuinely an amazing host, personality and speaker. That chat with Andrea Brimmer specifically was awesome in large part through Tobin’s unreal questions and knowledge. Even if it was pre-planned (of course) it was delivered perfect

[@shulamccann2797]

Wow, this had so much in it! I always love Tobin’s moments at the beginning and this episode was no exception, the dry wit delivery is spot on. Who else got emotional over Christen and Abby sharing their experiences with abusive coaches? Damn. Thank you to Tobin for pulling Christen out of that situation, and encouraging her to go to Sweden. It’s dreadful that because of escaping abuse Christen wasn’t called up to the national team again for years. I remember hearing commentators during broadcasts making remarks about how she should be playing at Houston, and how it was wrong not to be. I hope each of them wrote Christen an apology when the abuse scandal was revealed. If they haven’t and they just watched this episode, then there’s no time like the present to ask for forgiveness.

[@jillvanbodegom-smith8461]

What's making this show G-R-E-A-T is how relaxed Tobin and Christen are. I feel like i am sitting in their living room having tea and chatting about sport. This also seems to make their guests so comfortable and able to relax and just be themselves.

[@marcouimet1820]

As an outsider observer, I feel like the questioning of mentality was very much in bad faith. It seems to me the healthiest and competitively viable option to not be lamenting a disappointing performance, but focusing on the next game - which the USWNT is obviously doing. I also think not enough credit is being given to our backline's discipline in stopping the group stage opponents from pulling ahead and giving them consistently poorer chances. Still love the insights, and thanks to everyone for their input and letting us fans get a deeper look into the game!

[@edcleverley9333]

Could not agree more. When Lloyd retired she made scathing comments about the USWNT policy focus on supporting women's rights. Now they're playing badly she's using that as biased confirmation for her stance in entirely bad faith, instead of seeing the lack of cohesion as the poor coaching and tactics it is. This is one of the few times it's fair to describe a person as behaving like a complete and utter cunt

[@user-vs6nn1vo7v]

I'd be happy to adopt Fishlock so she can be one of "us"

[@cesarsobrino7398]

I still remember Abby's long pass to Christen (chest control) previous to the second goal against England in France-2019.

[@epach1747]

That is my third favorite USWNT goal from that world cup. That long ball and that trap from CP was just on point. Then CP passing it to Horan and then Horan placing the ball so Alex can head it in. Loved that sequence. First fave goal was Christen’s goal against England, and 2nd fave is the Rose goal in the final. Man, 2019 was a great year. 😊

nah, the problem is that nobody is willing to call him out directly. it’s the exact reason why we are where we are now. no one is willing to say he is the one at fault for this teams failures and it has allowed him to continue to dodge responsibility. not naming him helps nobody but him.

Why? They are talking about all his coaching errors and how he has destroyed this team, but they are afraid to call him out by name. This is not deserving of admiration. Carli Lloyd attempted to criticize Vlatko and then stopped mid sentence and started rambling off the topic, it was bizarre and looked like someone in her earpiece told her to move on.

Your comments about no tactical changes in the past year is so true. I am a huge USWNT supporter and fan of the woman’s game in general. I love watching women’s football. Over the past year I have watched The England squad surpass the USWNT tactically because we have stayed static while the changed managers and moved forward. I believe both countries have the same amounts of massive talent but they have used their strengths better. Also the Jess tactical session was an awesome segment. Thanks for doing these shows!

2:55 - 30:15. First Tobin and Christen, then Tobin and Jess Fishlock, talk tactics. Man I could watch that 24-7. I love hearing them break it down and analyze what’s working and (more so lately) what’s not working. Great series. Loving these episodes!

These are phenomenal players who have such an in depth knowledge of the game while also having elite skills. Will miss them when they finish playing, but will be so excited to see them on the coaching side of things.

best World Cup commentary right now, period. I need y'all to help me process these emotions THANK YOU

[@williamfancher200]

By far the best World Cup podcast happening - technical, amazing guests, and tactical analysis out the wazoo!

[@erin4074]

This is so good. Content, production, authenticity, chemistry, insider insight. The whole package. Love!!! Also…Tobin should be coaching the USWNT.

Christen Press carried this team scoring-wise prior to the Olympics... and then barely used

[@user-dm7lq6jr4o]

I could watch them analyze these games all day!

[@nori2015]

This was one of the best episodes for any sports/ recap show I have ever seen!!!! A lot of spot on takes and a lot of great guests! Can't wait for the next one.

Proud Aussie here 🇦🇺💚💛🤣⚽️ Matildas fan through and through. I’ve watched the trailer and all 4 episodes. The quality of conversation and depth of discussion has been phenomenal. Thank you Tobin, Christen and your production team! Keep the bleeps 🫢 and keep it real! Just brilliant!

[@dukeon]

Congratulations on Matildas getting through! And didn’t even need Sam to play…giving her more time to recover. Go Aus 🇦🇺!!

This show is TOP level QUALITY content. Hard to find these days on KZbin. Conversations have depth and come off natural, editing is great, intro is authentic....and conversations seem to get richer each episode...delicious!! Wow..just wow. Thank you

I'd really love to hear more about tactics and strategy analysis. Like really get into the details with examples to show what you're explaining. I wasn't ever good enough to be on teams where these kinds of things were talked about by the coaching staff, and it feels like I'm missing out on a big factor of being able to enjoy games without it

[@ThreeRunHomer]

I didn’t know anything about tactics, formations or player roles until I started playing Football Manager. 😆 It doesn’t include women players yet, but the tactical stuff is the same for men and women. It surprised me how much more I enjoyed watching soccer after learning the basics from Football Manager.

[@tonydrennan1050]

The talk with Jess is incredibly informative, and more people should be looking at soccer this way....balance and formations are the cornerstones of success. Any player at the level should be able to adjust relatively easily to formation changes, that leads to a more balanced attack and defense. Of course this should be practiced and constructed before a world cup. There isn't nearly enough of these changes and adjustments made in big competitions like this....and it shouldn't be difficult for the players.

[@hmccharmedgirl]

Holy sh*t! You two hit the nail on the head! This is why I LOVE this show! Truth!

[@macmahonevelyn]

this is my favorite recap content out there right now

[@jessicaforgione6794]

I'm so glad you guys got to talk to Abby on your show, she's one of my favorites from the 2019 squad, she's so good and i'm so happy to see her soon on the field again ❤

[@Romina07]

This is what everyone needed after that game. ABBY D is hilarious!! I loved the convo
