You probably know that Zach Ertz’s wife Julie plays for the United States national soccer team.

She didn’t get to watch the Birds on Sunday night because the U.S. women were playing at the exact same time as the NFC Championship Game.

But as she walked off the field, she was given the news:

Ertz scored a goal in the game, so go figure. She’s nasty. She’s a hell of a player.

And she spoke about Zach afterward:
