Even as alternate, O’Reilly fully devoted to USWNT

O’Reilly’s feelings welled up as she sat in front of her computer.
“I’ve nearly spent half my life on this team,” she said during an emotion-filled interview on Monday at the team hotel. “So this team means a lot to me. Obviously, [being an alternate] is not an ideal role for anybody. We’re all ridiculously competitive athletes and people. And all of us scrapped and clawed to be part of that 18 all year.
That attitude has stayed 100% positive from O’Reilly in public and on her social media channels during the Olympics. “And privately, too,” says Ellis.
It’s the way things work in sports. “When I was 19, I knocked some veterans out of their spots,” O’Reilly says, “and now Pugh comes around and I find myself an alternate.” She laughs. “Cue Simba holding up the baby and ‘Circle of Life’ comes on in the background.”
When you play for the U.S. women’s national team, you represent something that’s bigger than you, bigger than your teammates, bigger than the sum of all the individual women who’ve ever played on the national team. The pride in what the team symbolizes, the past and the present, is palpable with a player like O’Reilly.
"Carli's Kickin' Hot Sauce" will be available at participating Houston-area Kroger stores for a limited time. The sauce also can be purchased online via Pittsburgh-based PLB Sports, which also markets food named after a half-dozen current and former MLB and NFL players.
The sauce, which comes in 12-ounce bottles, is "made from only the best cayenne and habanero peppers," according to a PLB news release.
"We are extremely excited to work with Carli. Her ability to excel both on and off the pitch makes her a very unique athlete," PLB said in the release. "PLB Sports will be rooting for Carli and her teammates in the coming weeks as they make their mark at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio."
