Im zweiten Teil des Gesprächs mit Kathy Hendrich erzählt die 90-malige Nationalspielerin von ihrem allerersten Einsatz mit Chicago in den USA – der viel über ihre Essgewohnheiten vor Spielen aussagt. „Ich saß auf der Bank und hatte Hunger. Wenn du nachher reinkommst, willst du nicht mit Hunger auf den Platz gehen“, erinnert sich Kathy. Die Team-Physiotherapeutin habe dann im VIP-Raum „einen warmen Bagel toasten lassen mit irgendeinem geschmolzenen Käse. Ich hatte keine andere Wahl, sonst wäre ich auf dem Platz umgekippt“. Von welcher Süßspeise aus ihrer belgischen Heimat sie nicht genug kriegen kann, was ihr Wechsel in die USA mit ihrem Selbstvertrauen macht, wie die dortige Mentalität im Sport sich von der in Deutschland unterscheidet – und welche Ideen sie für die Männer-WM 2026 hat, verrät sie im Gespräch mit Almuth und Roman ebenfalls.

Welcome back to the stream! Today we are diving into a massive week for women's soccer. First up, huge congratulations to Jacquie Ovalle (Lizbeth Ovalle) for winning the FIFA Marta Award! We break down that incredible "Little Shrimp" scorpion kick for Tigres and what it means for her as she continues her record-breaking journey with the Orlando Pride.Speaking of Orlando, we're asking the big question: Still no Orlando Pride GM? With Haley Carter's departure, the search for a new soccer leader is on as the club looks to build on its championship-caliber roster.We also have a major legal breakdown of the NWSLPA vs NWSL conflict. From the league vetoing Trinity Rodman's contract to the new High Impact Player (HIP) rule proposal, the tension is at an all-time high. Plus, the rumor mill is spinning: is Cat Macario finally making her NWSL debut?

En el episodio de hoy hablaremos con Jacqueline “La Maga” Ovalle, sobre su experiencia en el fútbol de Estados Unidos y la comparación directa con la Liga MX Femenil, lo físico, lo técnico y lo profesional que hoy marca la diferencia.También entramos de lleno a lo que sí le falta a la liga mexicana, salarios base, trato digno, instalaciones y condiciones reales para exigir alto rendimiento. Jackie habla claro sobre por qué no se puede pedir un 100% cuando no todas viven como atletas profesionales las 24 horas.Además, conoceremos cómo es un día normal en el Orlando Pride, desde la alimentación hasta los entrenamientos, y contrastamos eso con lo que muchas jugadoras aún viven en México.

City Cast Denver listeners nominated Denver's new NWSL franchise, Denver Summit FC, as one of the biggest wins of the year at our Denver-est Denver Awards last week, and the city is undeniably abuzz with excitement over the prospect of a professional womens soccer team. But how much public money should the City of Denver put up to support the team? City Council is voting tonight on the proposal to spend $50 million to buy land and build support infrastructure for a new stadium, so we're revisiting a conversation host Bree Davies had earlier this year with one of the country's foremost experts on the politics of stadiums, CU Denver's own Dr. Geoff Propheter. Denverite reported on the details of the community benefits agreement that Denver Summit FC reached with neighbors of the proposed stadium site.
