Player Of The Tournament

Lisa Carlin, Darian Jenkins, and Sandra Herrera were live immediately following the US Women's Olympic victory over Brazil to win the Gold Medal in Paris, France. First up, the ladies discuss the expectations the US side had going in, the starting XI's for both teams, and question why Brazil left Marta on the bench for so long. Next, the ladies break down the strategies that both sides deployed, Brazil's missed opportunites, and the "BelieveBall" mentality the US showed. Then, a breakdown of the second half, Mallory Swanson's game-winning goal, and how the game opened up into a track meet. Next, the A3 crew talk about what has changed overall for the USWNT, what Emma Hayes has learned from this particular group of players, and where Jaedyn Shaw has been this whole time. And finally, the ladies identify their respective Player of the Tournament.

On this episode, we have a guest who really has done it all. Owen Hargreaves has won the Champions League with two different clubs and scored in one of the tense penalty shootouts. He also won both the Bundesliga and the Premier League. Eligible to play for Canada, Wales, and Germany, he opted to represent the country of his Father, overcoming some negative press to become England's player of the tournament at the 2006 World Cup. Not a bad career for a guy who used to work at a McDonald's in Canada, and who could have done even more if it wasn't for injury. And while he spent most of his time in English Football on the wrong side of Manchester, he came to City for his final season as a professional in what turned out to be a pivotal time for the club. Join Nedum and Rob as they discuss his breakthrough at Bayern Munich, the extraordinary reception he was given by some journalists when named in the world cup squad, who he thinks was the greatest player during his time at the Etihad, and how he kept himself motivated after winning so much in his first season as a professional.
