❤❤Christen !❤❤ Sooooo good to see you looking and sounding so well. You have been greatly missed. I believe you are correct in stating that if these ACL injuries had taken place on the men's side, much more would have happened to understand and solve the problem. Hopefully, some trusted medical professionals are looking into it. Best wishes to you, Christen, for a complete recovery and return to the national stage.
I remember describing Press to a new USWNT fan, and saying she was a straight-up soccer assassin! She can turn & shoot faster than anybody else in the game. Some of her shots were off before the defenders even recognized she was shooting (giving them zero chance to react!). And for all Press fans out there, check out her highlights from her time in Sweden. She’s been murdering defenses with epic runs and precision goals for years! Baller. Legend. One-of-a-kind talent. Amazing human.
That was so good !, This young fellow was exactly right in his approach. Be respectful, be humble and lead her on step by step. You are talking to a person who symbolizes greatness. A Goddess to watch, doing her craft and also to look at. All her energies are focused on coming back and resuming the display of her mighty talent. She has been good for our country in the past and hopefully will be in the future. That will be a welcome day
At the time the pandemic shut down soccer, Christen was probably the hottest striker in football. Mind-boggling goals. In bunches. Always followed by that wonderful smile of pure joy. Hurry back, Christen!
Christen is amazing, as a player and as a person. I hope she gets healthy enough to play (the uswnt surely need her, is being evident this world cup), but if not, I hope she stays in front of a camera. I need my dosis of Christen 😅
So good to see CP. She always speaks the truth. I just wish she and the other key players were paid like my favorite male player( Mbappe). If you watch videos of these two players, their styles are so unique. It's like they dance with the ball, and mesmerize their opponents towards defeats. The night before playing these two players for me, would be the equivalent to meeting Michael Jordan on the Basketball court. In a nutshell, one sleepless night. Start paying these woman. Oh, I wish Mal a healthy recovery.❤
The set back for a knee injury is two fold for soccer players. 1) the level of play 2) health insurance coverage I played soccer for 10 years and started at age 8. When I turned 17 I tore my ACL playing in a tournament with my club team. After my injury exactly nothing was done to support my return to the game. I did not get a knee surgery until age 21. It took two tries to finally complete the rigorous 6 month rehabilitation. I am 49 years old now and realize the knee is critical and an injury is career ending for most players who have not reached the heights. I wish it was different but that was my case. There needs to be a quicker response at the local level to extend the life of sports participation. It is a sad thing when nothing is done at all.
I admire Christen as an athlete and a person, but I disagree w her opinion that the sudden jump of injuries on women players are due to double duty or overload above those of male players. Male players in top professional leagues play a much larger number of games than female professional players. Naturally that would lead to larger number of injuries if the reason was simple physical overload. I agree that leagues and federations should look more intently on the phenomenon, but jumping to the refrain of gender biases sounds accusatory and takes away from the importance of addressing the problem.
the women play 1/2 the games as the men. We already know the pelvis puts women at higher risk for injury. My guess is the very competitive women push their bodies to the extreme injuring themselves. Mallory pugh plays so aggressive, i said the same game shes going to hurt herself, and a few minutes after her 1st injury, she did. I will criticize the players, its just my opinion, being overly competitive seems to be a double edged sword.
Unfortunately the injury happened to her in the worst moment. Now the USNWT it's out of good forward. She would've been a lethal weapon for the team in the world cup.
The issue of women and ACL injuries is nothing new and I've read about how women are built differently than men that puts them at 3 - 5 times more at risk for over 2 decades. Plus, artificial surfaces do nothing to help the situation which is well known.
Correct, acl injuries in women are not new. I guess what is sending alarm bells are the explosion of them in a short period of time. My thoughts are that it's covid related somehow.
*No matter how much research scientists carry out regarding this issue of women ACL injuries in soccer, they won't be able to avoid it because the muscular structure from the hips to the ankle is different than that of men. This is nothing new in USA soccer. It is noticeable now because women soccer has been popularized across the planet and there are more women soccer stars everywhere. The origin of ACL injuries in women start with the weight of their hips. Hips are heavier in women than in men.*
Vlad still holds a grudge against Christen. Even if she is in top form I still don’t see Vlad selecting her for the 2023 WC team. The other thing is the position she plays. U.S. is fairly solid at the forward position. 🤷🏻♀️ Don’t get me wrong. Christen is one of my favorite players. I would love to see her named to the team! I realistically don’t see Vlad giving her the nod is all I am saying.
aqui no es cristian press la fatal si no que su pareja ella la alcanza y la fataliza ojala ella pudiera dejarla para que pueda seguir con su carrrera como futbolista ,,y lo pongo con triple r porque asi es .. ahi personas fatales que tambien alcanzas a sus parejas creanme porfavor ....
When did she say that.... she just stated a fact to emphasize what is needed. And as someone who watches women soccer, it really is needed. Half my gunners squad is out from acl injuries 😢
@Uzodesign u can make anything of anything with implications. She stated a fact. Now, either we can take it seriously or start finding what her 'implications' were.
@IK It's the same language and tone used when insinuating that female athletes make less than men due to some plot (sexism and agenda against women) as opposed to the fact that female version of most male sports don't have the same appeal while conveniently forgetting it's men that make female sports possible. While conveniently forgetting that men first experienced a lot of those same ACL injuries and it's not happening to women now because of some conspiracy.
Not sure that wanting represent the national team could be considered "entitled". I don't think her desire is expectation on her part. I mean, don't you wish you could? If she's physically fit and in shape and is, say, the fifth best forward on the pitch you don't think she should be part of the team?
You want her to sound like a quitter or like she hasnt had media training as a professional athlete or like she isnt a competitor? “Oh of course I’ve given up all hope on representing my country at the highest level and have lowered my standards on my goals and dreams.” Any player that thinks like that and says it is not one that’d make it far or that Id want on any of my teams. Do I agree with you that it’s basically impossible? Of course. But I dont need her to bring such negative energy to her comeback.
@@brina1837 Idk if this was towards my reply since I did not call the original poster a "hater", even if it may have crossed my mind, so your comment may be for someone else. Still, I think the connotation of "delusional" and "waste a roster spot" are what initially made me respond. I agreed that it's unrealistic for her to comeback and that can be said in a different matter. Like I previously mentioned, she's media trained and she's got that hippie vibe about positive manifesting and all, so I cant imagine her saying she's done in such a way. I can admit I did not know about the amount of surgeries.
Wow she is so beautiful and the best forward in the national stage can't wait to see her play best of luck God bless you🙏❤

So good to see Kristen again! The soccer world just isn’t the same without her. I continue to send healing vibes your way… ~~~~~~~~~~~

You’re the best Christen Press, we love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good luck on recovery. Usa 🇺🇸 we miss u
Press is a national treasure. So glad she’s feeling strong again.
My favorite player.😅

Common girl everyone is missing you!!!...And Tobin too!❤
Most definitely have been missing her with the USWNT. Along with Tobin Heath, they needed her more than ever.
Christen is amazing, as a player and as a person. I hope she gets healthy enough to play (the uswnt surely need her, is being evident this world cup), but if not, I hope she stays in front of a camera. I need my dosis of Christen 😅
Bummed that she didn't make the WC Squad. Hopefully, she'll regain form and be back on the National Team in the near future.
Angel City..🤗🤗👏😁☺️Good.
Her health is the only thing I care about. Love ❤️ her ✝️⚽️
Total Goddess!
Let’s go, World Cup caliber lady! Cheering you on!!! Angel City & NWSLtoTheBay! Are you coming North on June 3?
Get well soon!

How can they get paid the same when the womens league doesnt even make half the money the mens league makes?
So humble. So deserving to be named one of the great soccer players. Aloof? Nah.

The fact that when this interview was shot, she had already been told by doctors to let go of the World Cup dream😔
This is a great woman.
❤
Porque ya NO siguió en la selección de E.U.????

Her absence is showing….
I was wondering why she wasn't on the team.
Killer shots from the hip
Press seems like a sweet lady.. completely into that yoga scene for sure; she’d love living in Encinitas 😂

Correct, acl injuries in women are not new. I guess what is sending alarm bells are the explosion of them in a short period of time. My thoughts are that it's covid related somehow.
So many of the top women in the world have had this injury recently Putellas, Press, Mead, Miedema, and Williamson, to name just a few.

I wish people read more. The USTA got on board the equal pay band wagon, and the game has not suffered one bit.
I would not call Christan Press entitled!! If she is picked well so what she supports women and wants to leave the game in a better place
Lmao what a way to support women. Taking away a place from someone who is actually fit

Tobin heath husband. Wife married kids
I’ve always been a fan, but she needs a coach to help her with interviews. She says “ah” and “um” way too much. Straight up baller otherwise.
The interviewer looks and sounds so uptight. He needs to loosen up
age plays better?.
Chicago Red Stars look like the worst team in the NWSL 10 year history. Are they the next Boston Breakers?

She is like another Sydney Leroux
No estáis finas. Si Dios quiere no ganareis la Copa del Mundo 😮😢
Christen stay off the uswnt because uswnt will lose in 2023 fifa world cup
Thought she was great but now i think she’s drank the woke koolaid too much
When anything happens to women, men are responsible for it huh? Never ceases to amaze me. SMH!
When did she say that.... she just stated a fact to emphasize what is needed. And as someone who watches women soccer, it really is needed. Half my gunners squad is out from acl injuries 😢
Wow. Snowflake much? Was your fragile ego bruised, baby? Oh, btw I’d love to SYH.

How entitled she thinks she can walk onto the team after being out for a year.
You be quiet. She's better than most of the forwards on that team and is experienced.
Id much rather have press actually do something instead of watching alex morgan get knocked around the whole tournament
@@Soccerfan-df1bc Press never does anything in big games. lol!
She better come back. It was not her fault she was out.

If she's physically fit and in shape and is, say, the fifth best forward on the pitch you don't think she should be part of the team?
She’s delusional. She’s not even cleared to play for Angel City yet thinks Vlatko is gonna waste a roster spot on her? 😂😂😂
Well, she's one of the best players in the history of the US national team, and she's coming back. Why can't she dream of going to the world cup?
You want her to sound like a quitter or like she hasnt had media training as a professional athlete or like she isnt a competitor?
