Our guest today is part of our most favourite American quintet since the Breakfast Club.

She's one of the US back five including goalkeeper Hope Solo that's conceded just a single goal in four games for this entire World Cup.

This Friday she'll lead the team as they take on China over his Louis Van Gogh calls them the Chinese in the quarterfinals in Ottawa.

We welcome to this Women's World Cup special pod for the defending NWSL Champion FC Kansas City,

originally hailing from St. Louis temporarily dwelling in Ottawa. Welcome to the pod, the one and only Becky Sauerbrew.

What an opener!

Becky, we are so honored to have you on. Your play has been absolutely centellating. We will talk about it. But job done in the round of 16 wasn't always pretty on the eye.

But can you describe the mood in camp after the Columbia victory?

I mean more obviously it's really excited that we are now on to the quarterfinals. The new Columbia was going to give us a tough match and they certainly did.

They were great in tight spaces, great opening up the game, great individually. So I thought we did well against them. We kept our heads. It was a really tricky game.

So we're excited. We know that we've got room to improve and as the tournament gets on and on we're going to have to get better.

So we're just focusing on that. We're happy with the win but we're moving on to the next.

As a player, the style of victory matter. Or to you is it all about the school board at the end of the game?

It's tough because obviously in a tournament you need to win in order to advance and so winning is important. So I'll absolutely be one to win in good style.

And we know that maybe we haven't been playing up to our potential and we've got high expectations for us and American expectations for us.

So we know there's room to improve. So hopefully we'll show a little bit more of that in the quarterfinals.

Let's talk about positive things. Let's talk about lovely things. Let's talk about the back line.

I mean you guys, you guys have been like the night's watch. You're the sword in the darkness, the watcher on the walls, the shield that guards the realms of women.
