The legendary USWNT goalkeeper talks through the highs and lows of her career with host Meghan Klingenberg (2:15). The two friends and former teammates jump right in to discuss Naeher’s favorite memories from the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup (2:30), why Naeher joined the fight for equal pay (8:15), and the penalty kick shootout during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup that was decided by millimeters versus Sweden – and the devastation that followed (14:20).

Naeher chats further about the next generation of players for the U.S. Women’s National Team (25:15) and what it takes to earn her trust (27: 31). Finally, Naeher explains the thought process behind her decision to retire from international soccer (30:00) and what she walks away most proud of (44:50).

Later, Kling and David Gass show off their own personalized bricks, which are part of the U.S. Soccer Brick Program, and talk about what it means to be engrained in U.S. Soccer history (51:00). Our hosts close out the show discussing Kling's favorite memory from playing with Alyssa (53:15) and answering fan questions on our weekly segment Ask the Pros presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts (55:20).
