The USWNT showed they are also capable of getting the result while trailing on the scoreboard. Even with a plethora of substitutions.
Emma Hayes’ perfect record with the U.S. women’s national team will remain intact after yet another winning performance from the USWNT on Sunday, defeating Iceland 3-1 in their second and last head-to-head against this week at Geodis Park.

An amazing Alyssa Thompson goal vs Iceland opened the scoring for the United States women’s national team in their 3-1 victory on Thursday. The goal also marked Thompson’s first for the Stars and Stripes.
The USWNT went up against a compact and feisty Iceland side in their first game since the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics in August.
The United States women’s national team have incredible chemistry and get along great when international team camps come along.
Some fans think they’re trust in each other might be too much after Rose Lavelle posted to her Instagram story videos of the players picking each other up off the floor by one leg.
Did that description make any sense to you? If not, we totally understand because we’re still scratching our heads as to what the USWNT players are doing here.

Here’s the 26-player roster that will play two friendlies against Iceland and one against Argentina this month.

Headin' South!
United States women’s national team legend and icon Kelley O’Hara had a bittersweet conclusion to her career as injuries ended her final season early.
She had planned to retire after the 2024 NWSL season, but was forced to hang up her boots in September.
Her club, Gotham FC, announced she was on the season-ending injury list meaning the Bats’ 2-1 victory vs. Houston Dash on Sept. 8 was her O'Hara's final appearance.
Canada's Christine Sinclair, the world's top international goal scorer among both women and men, said on Friday she will retire from professional soccer at the end of the 2024 NWSL season in November.
Sinclair, whose 190 international goals is the most among both men and women, retired from the Canadian team last December. She is currently in her 12th season with the NWSL's Portland Thorns, who wrap up their regular season on Nov. 1 and are currently sitting in a playoff spot.

United States women's national team forward Trinity Rodman exited the field area in a wheelchair during the Washington Spirit's 3-0 loss to the Kansas City Current on Friday, which her agent attributed to an "intense back spasm."
That's what Mike Senkowski told The Washington Post Saturday about Rodman, adding her back remained bothersome the morning after.

Ashley Hatch and Trinity Rodman led the Washington Spirit over the visiting Houston Dash 3-0 on Sunday.
The Spirit (14-4-2, 44 points) had no problems defeating Houston (3-12-5, 14 points) even without leading goal scorer Ouleymata Sarr. Instead, Hatch scored twice and Rodman had a goal and an assist to extend Washington's league unbeaten streak to five matches.

Alex Morgan’s professional soccer career is over as she walked off the field for one last time on Sunday in an emotional farewell. On the international stage she finishes her career with 224 appearances for the United States women’s national team and 123 goals.
One statistic stands out about the rest, however.
The USWNT never lost a game that Alex Morgan scored in.
