You're listening to the MIB Media Network, and this is the women's game.

I argue in a good way with Emma about this because I will always be that player that's like,

no, we should have won that game. We absolutely should have won that. We should have come out with a point.

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the women's game. I'm Sam Mewis. And I'm Lindsay Heaps and this is the captain.

Okay, Lindsay, we are back for our second episode of your podcast, The Captain with Lindsay Heaps.

And just a quick reminder for listeners at home, this podcast is pretty new. There's only one other episode out. So go back and give that a listen if you have missed it. The Captain with Lindsay Heaps is a monthly show here at the women's game where we get inside access to the captain of the U.S. women's national team, Lindsay Heaps. We have Lindsay here to take us into the ex's and O's of the national team day-to-day prep for the 2027 Women's World Cup and answer all of our questions about her journey to the top of the women's soccer world. So if you have a question that you want answered, write to us and ask Lindsay anything at women's game, MIB at men and blazers.com or you can submit your questions on our Discord channel. Okay, Lindsay, so we are 428 days away from the 2027 Women's World Cup. You were just in camp for three games against

Japan. One of them was in your hometown of Denver, which was so cool. You'll be returning to Denver

in just a few months to play for the new NBSL team there at the Denver Summit. But for now,

you're back in Leon. How's the jet lag? How was all

you're traveling? You just, you never really get used to it. You don't. As much as I like to say,

it's the one part I'm not going to miss because the jet lag is hit. But I get to do this with

you. So I'm happy. I know. So

fun. Are you back with Ferguson? I'm back with Ferguson. Little man's asleep. What do you,

what do you do with Ferguson when you have to go to the U.S. for 10 days? I have the best caretakers.

Oh my gosh. One of the women works for my club, her and her fiancé, watch him.

They are literally the best.

Does he get so spoiled?

Yeah.

And they're like kind of hitting depression right now because that was their last like big break that they watch him and they are not okay.

Oh my God.

They're going to miss him so much. I think they're going to miss him so much.

I think they're going to miss him more than me.
