Canada Spygate at Olympics & Emma Hayes tries to temper expectation | SOTU

Alexi Lalas' State of the Union Podcast

[StateOfTheUnion]

How will the USWNT do at the Paris Olympics?

[juliegahret]

No, the US is no longer expected to win these tournamens. There not.

[mrmichael]

I like what emma is doing. Refreshing.

[JeffreyHietala]

Bill Belichick was probably operating the dron!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[nightdrmvideos]

First time I disagree with them on this. If they expect for Emma to come in here and do the same thing as was before then they are not getting it. Emma has to adapt to her current situation she is put on including moving an entire roster around and coaching staff to get rid of all that USA is number one in the world mentality and go back to the where it got you here.

The Canadian drone use wasn't just cheating. It was a serious violation of French law. Every good drone pilot knows that your pre-flight checklist should always include checking for Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs). There is a TFR in effect for all Olympic sites for the entire event, due to the possibility of drones being used in a terrorist attack. The assistant coach is lucky he didn't wind up in jail or having to pay a hefty fine. It's also in illegal in France to fly your drone over groups of people, just as it is in the U.S.

These two lads make me laugh. Truth is no opponent cares how many titles USA have won. She sent a reminder to the PLAYERS. And remember, Spain are streets ahead of the rest TODAY. No one cares about the past. Emma is 6 games in. So juvenile saying win don’t care how. Coaching. Selection. Identity. Personality. Culture. It’s a process, not waving a magic wand.

[AlienAteIt.MyNoraTees]

i expect fans to have high expectations. there are some teams who have legendary histories, those athletes may have retired but those fans are still living. they're still watching. i want to hear this from sport analysts, not from our coach. it seems like she's lowering the expectations, because she knows some blame is going to come her way. but that just comes with being a coach regardless of how fair or unfair, or not enough time to make changes.

Read the room? What room, the one you two are in right now! 😶 I find it interesting that Mosse is commenting on Tim Howard. Mosse although much of what you say is interesting for the pod, your delivery is dry and you seem bored with your show. Alexi, how good were you when you first started broadcasting. Cmon'! ⚽️💜

[johoward]

I’m soooo tired of most of the media boot licking anything Hayes says or does smh

[alansmithee]

Hello Alexi. The US public that watch the Olympics is not the football lovers who watch your show. Emma is speaking to a different audience. The women pundits on other channels still talk about the game without reference to the other team as more than cannon fodder sometimes. Swaggering is going to wind the other team up. Emma is underplaying the team to the opponents. Why is US always "all about me"? See beyond yourselves. I loved US confidence when there, but it can work against you when the playing field is levelled.

[jacklaw]

The Olympics has no morality. LOL. Do your homework. It's a cynical money grab, just like all other pro sports.

[bkirstie]

3:42 🏆 go Emma and people will be surprised because those who don’t follow US women’s national team

[bassheaded]

Alexi is such a hack! he should go down with the donald

[non-indexed]

Canada should never work in this town again!

[bkirstie]

6:16 blah blah blah. That’s what you think. As a close follower who has only missed two games since 2015, I’ve seen the ebbs and flows of the team. I can see a big improvement in the past four games. I don’t think they will ever be consistently number one, but in this tournament, I think they will lose in the quarterfinals.

[alexanderparra]

US was the best but once football countries started investing. It is pretty obvious that US team is going to start loosing against those countries. Even if US invest a lot money on it. Women's US football team is going to be the same position that Male.

[StevenHabibi]

I like the bravado and motivation but you can’t talk about an exceptionalism you never reached yourself (US Mens Side)….. It’s a weird rant

[miguela]

Wow wat a turn of events cheating to da fullest wat a shame truly disappointed in da Canadian federation

[GB-BG]

Bielsa is leaving Uruguay, he was the couch of the Leeds United and he brought them back to the first division of the english league. Thats a coach for the USA
