Episode 118 – The AFTN Podcast – “There’s Still Time” (A Women’s World Cup Final postgame extravaganza featuring Carli Lloyd, Sydney Leroux, Alex Morgan, Julie Johnston, Abby Wambach and her mother!)
It’s been a fun month, but all good things must come to an end and that is sadly true of the 2015 Women’s World Cup.
The tournament came to an end in Vancouver on Sunday as the US steamrollered Japan, and the defending champions didn’t know what had hit them in those opening 16 minutes.
It ended with the US lifting their third Women’s World Cup trophy and the celebrations began at BC Place and continued the following day at the special Fox Sports studios in Vancouver. And AFTN was there to capture some of the post tournament joy for you.
In our penultimate WWC special podcast, we’re all about the World Cup winners this episode as we chat with some of the key members of the US Women’s National Team.
We kick things off with the Final’s hat-trick heroine Carli Lloyd as she talks about it all sinking in, waking up to be front page news and going back to club football after all that.
We also catch up with a couple of the USWNT old guard, strikers Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach about the win, the legacy and the team. We also hear from victorious mother Judy Wambach about like watching your famous daughter play.
It’s a case of out with the old and in with the new as we catch up with one of the US squad’s players of the future, defender Julie Johnston. How did she feel her own personal tournament was, how inspiring were the 1999 winning team and did her conceding a penalty in the semi-final actually kickstart the team on to a win?!
And there’s still time to end the episode with an American hero but a Canadian villain, BC born striker Sydney Leroux. An emotional Leroux talks about winning a World Cup in her home country, is winning a vindication for her decision to leave and the abuse she received, and what lies in store for her.
