Dating, Trash Talk & Life After Soccer | Time Wasting AMA with Ali Riley & Kelley O’Hara

Ali & Kelley are answering YOUR questions! First, they get the big one out of the way: did Ali and Kelley ever date? Then they look back on their favorite stadiums and wildest places they played, before getting into the NWSL — whether Gotham should rest players after clinching a playoff spot, why the Shield deserves more respect, and what’s really going on with the Washington Spirit.

Plus Ali opens up about struggling with injuries, identity, and finding balance outside of soccer, while Kelley remembers the first time she arrived at a USWNT youth camp and immediately wondered if she belonged. We talk long-distance relationships as professional athletes, the places they wish they could have played, and where they’d put their own NWSL expansion teams.
