After watching the preview episode of the re-cap show, my first thought is actually a confirmation of something I believe for awhile now, and it's that in my opinion Tobin & Christen truly are in a different phase of their life now. They've changed, right in front of our eyes, they have built this whole other work reality that no longer NEEDS to be connected with the field, they are beyond. I'm not saying they're retiring tomorrow (even though I think they WILL do it very soon), I just feel they have found their dimension elsewhere. And it's deeply beautiful.
I noticed just how GOOD they are despite this being their first experience in this kind of projects. I remember Tobin's first videos for the company, about her art, and she didn't even look at the camera. Since becoming co-ceo, and maybe since stepping up after Pinoe's silent exit, she kinda found this new confidence. She joins events and promotional works by herself that before she would have attended only with Christen, or not attended at all.
Now she produces and hosts a show, and she's funny, charming, thoughtful, wonderfully loud when she laughs and freely honest when she speaks.
Even the choice of their first guest is pretty revealing. It actually tells how little we know about their lives and their relationships. That's why I usually talk about opinions and impressions, because that's all we have.
And exactly about my opinion about their new phase of their life, I think Ellis and Christen probably might have talked about things at some point. And not about her tactical choices but about her silence when Christen tried to expose Dames' toxic behaviour. It's not something you just ignore and sit together to joke, laugh and talk Football.
The interview was actually really brilliant and honest. I think Tobin took the lead because anyway she had a different relationship with Ellis but also it really seemed more her space, she has always had a complete vision of football, tactically and strategically. That's why it seemed she really talked Ellis' language. And it was deeply fascinating, curious and educative.
I'm not gonna deny that listening to Ellis actually talking about football and about her choices was truly interesting. Despite all her personal mistakes, I think she really knows her job, and she knows how to do it. I never heard Vlatko having such professional insights and I really admired him before, when I still had not realized he has no idea how to manage team and players and he doesn't really care about them either.
Ellis was pretty honest about her tactical decisions, I don't know if she would do exactly the same now, especially with Christen. But I still love how equally honest Christen was with her. The quote "I'd let you babysit my daughter but I don't think I'll play you in this game" is not really a joke and both of them know it. But it was a moment of Truth.
I think Ellis appreciated and appreciates Christen both as person and player, she made a choice, a debatable one, but still hers. And Christen faced her for it. But in the end I liked to see that she still considered her time playing for Ellis as a learning experience, it puts everything in perspective.
I always thought Christen was way much more than the sweet and zen person we often see. She did make a few interesting remarks to Ellis among the lines of jokes, she knows how to tease Tobin (probably her favourite pastime), she can be snarky and witty, and it's pretty awesome.
That's why I was in love with the blunt confrontation between Tobin & Christen. It was actually what I expected, Tobin always so free and direct, Christen so smart, witty and a little biting! The Daily Debate was just amazing but what I noticed is that every time Tobin talked, with Jill or simply telling something, she always included Christen in her moments, in her thoughts, her memories, her experiences, she looked at her, waited for her reaction.
The most technical part of the conversation was so intriguing for a football fan. I loved the Marginal Gain philosophy, it's the success in the details.
Also, about the USWNT, I think Tobin doesn't have much admiration for Vlatko, as coach and person. At one point she said something like "talking about chewing and spitting …" and she went on saying she and Christen wouldn't be at the World Cup, it says something.
In the end, I think they really nailed this first episode. I wanna see Christen take the lead in the next episodes and I can't wait for them!

Tony Gustavsson really is just a kinder and more Swedish version of Jill Ellis.

did jill just confirm 2019ish era preath?! go watch re cap show!
on the re inc wwc show w preath jill starts talking about being out and all that and then she says something about being asked if it was a distraction in the locker room and then to preath was like i dont think and i think it does help being authentic. anyways could be nothing and just about being out and whatnot but also maybe preath :)

Finally watched the first re-cap episode and it just made me feel some sort of way. Listening to Jill Ellis speak just highlights Vlatko's deficiencies. How did this happen?

“I remember when Jill Ellis came in and tried tinkering with the squad, playing players out of their best position, weird formations, trying to put “her stamp” on the team. She learned real quick to cut that out if she wants to win games. This team is like a Ferrari: you don’t need to modify it or try to upgrade it with new features, all you have to do is steer it…it does the rest.”
- Coach T

What I find hilarious about this, as always is the hypocrisy of it all.

Lol 😂😂😂 Preaths will fall in line like the weird sheep that they are!!!!! 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
you can't even make this up at the same time Preaths angry that they're not in the World Cup team and they're rooting for the US to fail. Just wow

I miss Jill Ellis! Vlatko has such amazing players at his disposal and can’t seem to make it work
You may miss Jill, but several USWNT players have made have made it clear they don’t… there was a player “revolt” against her in 2017, just 1 year after the team had lost in the Olympic quarterfinals.
(which definitely puts Vlatkos coaching into perspective I think…)
I have a personal theory that Jill Ellis was juuust antagonistic enough that the players bonded closer together as a direct reaction to her, bit like a defense mechanism.
meanwhile Vlatko seems to inspire nothing but confusion and, weirdly, apathy.

If you’re mentally/emotionally incapable of reading the Sally Yates report allow me to sum it up for you:
The ENTIRETY of Portland’s front office need to be ousted in disgrace.
The ENTIRETY of Louisville’s front office need to be ousted in disgrace.
The ENTIRETY of Chicago’s front office need to be ousted in disgrace.
The ENTIRETY of North Carolina’s front office need to be ousted in disgrace.
Jill Ellis needs to be ousted from her position in San Diego in disgrace.
Vlatko Andonovski, who said nothing but kind and supportive things about Christy Holly when he was hired by Louisville — even though U.S. Soccer was aware of his conduct at Sky Blue — needs to be ousted in disgrace. I don’t fucking care if they’re currently in camp, tell Laura to hop on a flight.
And Christy Holly needs to be in fucking prison.
That’s it. That’s all I can say without literally rage crying.

hip holding > waist holding two gentle hands placed on your hips, fingertips digging ever so slightly into the fat that they could squish for hours if you'd let them. your hips are their favorite part of your body, littering them with bruises and love bites at any given moment. on their knees, looking up at you, two hands firmly griping each hip, placing a soft kiss to the bone with a smile.

waist holding > hip holding their hands fit perfectly in the curve of your waist, almost like your waist was made for them to grab and use to their advantage. they pull you close by your waist, fingers showing no signs of letting go any time soon. using their strength to manhandle you in any way they possibly could, squeezing your waist to show you who's boss with a look that's sure to kill.

“Jill, I really have to go or we will be found out.” “10 more minutes, then I'll let you go." I look at her eyes I say, "Okay." 
 
10 minutes later 
 
"Jill, I'm serious. I have to go." hugging her one last time then I open the door and step out I hear another door open up looking over and I look the person in the eye we both look shocked then the door down the hall open and out walks Beth mead 
 
She is coming out of Viv's room. I’m now standing in the hall with Beth Mead, my England teammate, and Ellie Carpenter. Beth goes to the elevator with her head down, and so does Ellie. I walk to the stairs and quickly go back to my room. getting in bed and go to sleep. 
 
Next day 
 
I'm sitting in the hall eating when Beth sits next to me "So tell me, y/n, why were you in a certain Dutch midfielder's room last night?" 
 
I looked around us, and the hole table was looking at us. "Ok, I'll tell you if you tell me why you came out of Viv's room."
