In the Season 11 premiere, two-time World Cup champion and NWSL champion Ali Krieger joins Laughter Permitted to talk about her life in the early days of retirement from professional soccer, the incredible ride Gotham FC took to win last year's NWSL title and how her teammates rallied around her in spectacular fashion the day news broke of her divorce. Ali shares how she's approaching retirement by trying new ventures, including broadcasting, and she and Julie discuss the future of the USWNT. Plus, Ali explains why she's open about her personal journey of healing. And don't miss Ali shouting out her youth soccer team the Sparklers by singing the team's cheer.
