While Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, his wife, Julie, was helping the United States women’s national soccer team put waste to Thailand, 13-0, in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in France.
After Philly’s minicamp rests on Thursday, the Super Bowl winner Ertz will be linking the World Cup-winning midfielder Ertz at Gaul, reuniting American sport’ premier power couple.
“I am excited. Obviously I wish every match was stress-free going forward,” Ertz told NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo of the United States’ opening rout. “It was quite easy to watch. But I am excited.

“I’m going to be heading over this weekend in time to get this second match on Sunday. I am just excited to go support my spouse. I’ve seen the hard work that she is put in these past four years getting back following a World Cup, following an Olympics. All the adversity she’s confronted throughout these last couple years. Encourage here as a husband and very thrilled to go over there. … It’s interesting to see her doing what she enjoys.”
Along with the rest of earth Cup-watching world, the American-footballing Ertz also had an opinion on the USWNT’s contentious goal celebrations as its direct of this overmatched Thai team climbed out of control. Some commentators claimed that the U.S. girls showed poor sportsmanship in showing up Thailand by observing their late goals with such glee and creativity.
Ertz was having none of that line of thinking, mentioning the Eagles’ Super Bowl run in 2017 as an example of the positive use and impact of group parties.
“I got a great deal of thoughts. I discovered it. I read about it,” Ertz informed Garafolo. “First idea is the first tiebreaker at the World Cup group stage is the target differential and so they’d be sick to their stomach if they took their foot of the gasoline and also for some reason ended second in the group based off goal differential.
“The second, which is likely is the very underlining thing, when you’re on a fantastic team the best way to construct team chemistry is visiting others as happy for the achievement as they are because of their own. And viewing the women celebrate they were to other people’s success really I believed was crucial for them long term. Because you see how near these women were becoming, these women were getting.
“I believe you watched it a couple of years back with us when we were observing. We really were just building that team chemistry because everybody was bonding through those moments. Everyone was seeing just how happy everybody was for another person’s success. I think that really speaks volumes about the camaraderie and team chemistry. Therefore I had no issue with it obviously. I was actually for this.”
En route to winning Super Bowl LII during the 2017 year, the Eagles were the most prominent of teams using the NFL’s relaxed party rules. Philly was famous for its coordinated post-touchdown antics, such as acting as human bowling pins, miming a home run, flapping together in a V formation and doing some variation of the Electric Slide. The latter celly was awarded in the 2018 NFL Honors since the Celebration of the Year. One night later, the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
Correlation does not mean causation, but it’s clear and obvious in this situation that parties, at least in the NFL, lead directly to Super Bowl titles. It’s science.
The likely message from one Ertz to another if they meet in France before the USWNT’s game against Chile on Sunday? Celebrate like nobody’s watching.
