First of all, I'd like to thank you Sam, for featuring our Rachel! Now I know more about Rachel. She's such a good person for her country and the sport. Our Bay is on the right path and Rachel is a big part of it and will be in the team's history books.
Sam you were the perfect person to interview Racheal! She comes off as an amazing person, but you truly allowed her to shine. 🇿🇲🧡💙🌁
Thank you for interviewing Racheal!!! She is just an absolute delight! As a Bay fan, I am thrilled to hear she loves it here because she is my favorite player! I was at her first game and saw her score that goal. It was magnificent and the stadium went insane!!! Crossing my fingers that Rachael stays in the Bay for many years!
She is also a menace on the pitch (in all the best ways!). So happy she’s playing for Bay FC!
I just LOVE Rachel! She is just the sweetest person. Always so nice to us fans after matches. We are so happy the Bay feels like home Rachel! The Bay loves you! Go BAY FC!!!
Another Bay FC fan here, happy to see Racheal interviewed on the pod! thanks so much for letting us get to know more about her!
She's a delight!
So happy to get to know more about her.
Definitely a new fan.
Love the interview Sam
What a great interview. I loved how openly and joyfully Racheal told the story of her journey from the street soccer she played in Zambia to her wildly successful professional career, and the details of those beautiful epiphany moments that she experienced along the way were really incredible. That path can't have been easy for her, and her attitude about it and her desire to pay it forward were so inspiring. Her role with and vision for the Zambian national team no less so. I think we should all acknowledge that Racheal has been sledding a little uphill in the hearts of some NWSL fans, and this I think will level that ground for anyone who watches it. Thanks to Racheal for this interview and to Sam for bringing it to us!
One of the best interviews of a player I've listened to in such a long time! It was so refreshing hearing the rise of a player outside the "typical" European or American system and Sam truly was the perfect interviewer. You can just tell Racheal has so many amazing and fun stories to share and getting to hear her evolution from a youth to now is incredible. Just two absolutely lovely human beings
gosh she's so charming and eloquent
the bay loves you, rudy!!!!
great interview, she is an incredible person, I am grateful that you did this interview with her
this is one of the most joyful interviews I've ever seen.
Loved this interview! Thanks for sharing her foundation so we can donate.
The Bay loves you, Rudy! 🌁
What a sweetheart! Well done making her feel so comfortable, Sam.
She is so sweet! I'm so happy to be able to see the person behind the sport. When she talked about yelling out "mama!" when she scored I teared up, you can just tell she is not taking a single moment for granted ❤❤
WE LOVE YOU RACHEAL 💕💕 Bay’s queen of queens!!
I didn't know a thing about her before this other than she plays with Super Jen. What a thoroughly engaging chat!
Sam, sam. Wow she had a lot to say and you guided her so genuinely & sweetly.. gratitude flowing..a feel good interview. She has that Marta attitude and drive !! Thanks
I love this girl so much, she speaks her heart out 🎉
Great interview! Her story is so cool and she seems like she really loves the game!
Hello Sam. Rachael is so positive. You could see that at Madrid, when I watched them against Barcelona, but with the dominance of Barcelona in that league, it was no wonder she feels she is making more of a difference at Bay.
Such a great episode! I love watching these. Thanks Sammy for doing what you do and thank you Racheal for being an absolute queen on and off the field
Great interview Racheal so proud of you, zambia ku chalo! 🇿🇲 ❤
Loooved Rachael!! Gonna watch her play a little more carefully as well now.
Loved this! Love hearing these back stories and personalities that you don't get see 'on the field'
Great interview Racheal Kundananji so proud of you ,zambia 🇿🇲 ku chalo ❤
I had only heard of Rachel and saw her at play the one game against the U.S. but now I love her. What a wonderful interview.
Loved this interview! It was great to hear more from Rachael after watching her play for Bay this season.
I am hoping to support her foundation work with a donation but when I looked at the site, it shows that the payment processor is in “test mode” so no live donations are accepted. Did anyone else get it to work? If not, I hope they fix the site soon!
She is a great spirit; very inspirational
I LOVE KUNDANANJI!! she is so sweet and I can't wait to see her career grow with every year that goes by :,)
🎉🎉🎉 So excited for this interview love this channel
She speaks life; she speaks what she wants
Really great interview Sam and great to learn more about Rachael and her early days in the sport! Would to see Banda on the pod too!
Sammy, you know why you are so good at this? You are genuinely curious and ask amazing questions, are a good listener and have a great sense of humor. Keep it up. Get Alex Morgan so more peeps are aware of this channel. Get Rapinoe and O'Hara back too. Guarantee you are at a million viewers by next year.
Um I love Rachel, I can’t believe she’s so good and so kind
Thank you Sam... ❤️🇿🇲
That was one of my favorite interviews. She is just the absolute cutest human being. I couldn't stop smiling with her.
Racheal, you are doing the best job 🎉❤ pa Zed 👏 🙌
Too bad you had such a depressing personality on that it brought the whole show down...Ha! Kidding! My body felt lighter and lighter as the interview progressed until I was levitating above my chair by the end. Racheal's a peach, and I'm very much looking forward to watching her play. Nice job, Sam!
Tell Kundananji that I have an under 15 girls team here in a rural district of Zambezi. I need boots for my girls here. The TEAM is STEAM QUEENS FC
Well spoken , perfect 👌
Great interview 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤
Looking good RK
Lovely stuff reside here
❤❤❤❤
Bring Sentnor on to talk about scoring a game-tieing goal in the 9th minute of 8 minutes of stoppage time against Germany! Wow! #u20uswnt
Ras k. Zambia kuchalo!!!!🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Wonderful player and person. Her goal output has been underwhelming at Bay, though. Proof that the NWSL is tougher.
Nice ❤❤❤
BAY FC
Sam loves a pop culture metaphor & so I feel like a really good way to describe the Zambians is as the lipsync assassins of this Olympic season😅 which I believeee makes the US the well-known elder pageant queen, Spain the all-around skilled queen everyone expects to win, Brazil the returning fan favorite who is surprising folks with a new talent, Colombia the "trade" of the season, & Canada is the Untucked drama queen[🛰]🤣
also had to chuckle when Racheal talked about the rest of the Zambian team as "young", when she & Barbra are only 24 themselves😅 their potential is *wild*, and I completely agree that by the end of the next cycle Zambia will be shocking a lot of longer-established programs💪
really liked this interview👍
She speaks life; she speaks what she wants
Very true and I love that about this girl.
