Amy Rodriguez, a World Cup winner and the team captain of Kansas City’s new National Women’s Soccer League team, appeared on fubo Sports Network’s “The Cooligans” Tuesday evening.

In the show, Rodriguez discusses her excitement to be returning to Kansas City for her 10th year in the NWSL. She previously won two NWSL championships, in 2014 and 2015, with KC’s former NWSL team, FC Kansas City.

“It’s so nice to play in front of familiar faces and go back to old places where you had success,” Rodriguez says in the interview. “And I credit and attribute a lot of success in my career to my two years that I spent here.”

“The Cooligans”, hosted by Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco, airs every Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. CT on fubo Sports Network.
