Newsy Warms Up With The US Women's Soccer Team Before Rio

Newsy hung out at Soldier Field with the U.S. women's soccer team a day before their match against South Africa and a month before the Olympics.

And I'm not usually a sideline reporter, so I had to break the ice the best way I knew how.

"Who do you prefer in your underwear ads — David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo?" I asked.

"Ooh, I think I'm gonna have to go with Beckham," Christen Press said.

The women were warming up for their first match ever against South Africa — a sort of friendly face-off before heading to Rio.

"Where's your head at right now? You thinking about the game tomorrow or thinking about the Olympics?" I asked.

"We're thinking about the game tomorrow. Every day, we're reminded of the work we're putting on the field that's going to translate in Rio," Alex Morgan said.

I even tried to talk to Hope Solo. She treated me like I was a mosquito carrying the Zika virus.

And speaking of Zika, I asked, "Are y'all concerned?"

"We always have concern and caution, but with that, we're really excited for a great tournament," Press said.

And I'm excited, too. Good luck, and kick some balls.
