You can definitely call me Allie. I'm just going to jump right in here. As we all know, this year's World Cup is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. You're not only representing New Zealand, but are leading the charge as team captain. From your POV, is there any home field advantage at play here? Or is it all just heads down, full steam ahead for you and the friends? What a great question. I hope there's a home field advantage. It sounds like we're going to have record attendance numbers. Yes, do you have a question? Yeah. Why don't you talk funny? That is a really good question. Why don't I have an accent from New Zealand? Yeah. Because I was born and raised here in Los Angeles. So my dad is a Kiwi. He talks funny. I can talk different languages. Oh. Like what? Like chick-muck. Where is New Zealand? What do you think it's close to? I'll give you a hint. The other country that's hosting the World Cup. I know what it is. Do you want to do it? Do you give up? He's looking at his notes. Australia? Yes. Yeah, it was Australia. It's really far away. What does a New Zealander sound like? I'm so bad at doing accents. I always sound like I'm in Harry Potter. All right, throw some of this stuff on the bobby. That's Australian. No, it's more like, Nice one, that's a real goodie. That was actually really good. It was? What are boogers made of? I don't know. I feel like you guys might see more boogers than me. What do you think? Boogers, when you eat them. Do you eat them? No. Let's get back on track here, boys. okay you've seen the evolution of women's football over the span of your career how do you feel about the current status of women's football globally and what changes would you like to see happen to enhance its visibility and development so we actually just had a huge change and i'm really really happy to talk about it because we are waiting for a commitment from FIFA to get that prize money equal by the 2027 World Cup yes i thought you played soccer well Well, I do play soccer. I call it football sometimes. That's confusing. It is really confusing. It is confusing. Because it's like. When you kick it with your feet. Yeah. Do you like football or soccer better? Soccer. Okay, good. What animal would you be for one day and why? I'm trying to decide if I want to be able to fly or run really, really fast. Cheetah or bird. Think it would be really cool to be a cheetah? I would be a shark. A shark, you like the ocean? I have several teeth. Oh, because his teeth. Oh, do you have some coming in? Did you know wombat poop is square shaped? How did you know that? How did you know that? School. My tie, it's real. Told you. Oh, oh, oh my gosh. I want a kiwi. You know you can eat the skin on the kiwi, the furry part? Do you want any? I'll have some kiwi. Okay, but will you try the skin? Try it. No, no. It looks a little fuzzy. It is really fuzzy. It's like hairy. The skin's actually not that bad. I don't like furry food. Are you trying the fur? Okay. There we go! What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? So I have a cookbook coming out and I love to sneak vegetables into like desserts so you wouldn't even know. So I'll maybe put some beans in like brownies or spinach or tofu in a cake. So some people might think that's kind of weird. Should we get back like... Okay, okay, halftime's over. Oh, I love your socks. What socks? the ones you're wearing okay okay what's it like playing on the international stage and is it hard whenever you have to play against teammates so playing on that international stage is a huge honor it's amazing that I get to represent an entire nation and New Zealand is very special to me and when I play my friends it is a little bit weird especially when we play the United States I like to hang out with them before the game and after the game but during the game I'm just completely focused and try not to think about the fact that they're my friends I want to beat them. Did you know that it's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open? I can definitely do it with my eyes closed. If you burp and sneeze at the same time. Can you do that? Throughout your career you've played in multiple leagues WPS, Damallsvenskan and Bundesliga. Can you talk about how the different playing styles in each of these leagues have shaped your defense skills well you had a great Swedish accent i will say it took me a while to learn that i think when i was playing in college and when i played in the first two years professionally here i just was kind of an athlete like i didn't really think of myself as a good soccer player and when i went to europe there was such a big emphasis on technical skill so i developed a lot there and especially when I went to England, I learned how to be a tough defender and really put your body on the line to prevent the other team from scoring. Is it true you could speak Swedish? I can, yes. Ska jag prata svenska? How do you say Malachi is a no-doll in Swedish? Malachi tycker et han kan allt. How do you say nice one real professional read in Swedish? I can walk like Come on, Reed, don't be a baby. Don't call me a baby! You're a baby! Looks like somebody missed nap time today. We should probably call this thing. Well, thanks. Thanks for your time. You could get out of this thing. Okay, let's get out of here. Thank you for your time. Great questions. Hard questions! Since there was a set, I thought it was just gonna be kind of like a sit-down interview. Great job! Can I friend you on Instagram? Of course! Do you play? Um, yeah. Nice. I'm Ally Riley, and I just got pressed. Cheese!
