How much of soccer is becoming — as the kids would say — an ‘aesthetic?’ And a privileged aesthetic at that.
Here in the U.S., soccer is becoming an elitist sport. We talk about how the newest and most expensive boots are the only way to be like Ronaldo or Messi. Hand me downs are a no-go. If you don’t have the best kits or play for the most expensive clubs then you don’t stand a chance.
Alex Morgan has done it all. She’s won two Women’s World Cups, one Olympic gold medal, one NWSL championship and one Champions League trophy. Now she’s being immortalized with the Alex Morgan Barbie doll.
The game of soccer is always full of rivalries and head-to-heads. The biggest one you’re probably thinking of is the Messi vs. Ronaldo feud, which is never ending. My recent favorite is the comparison of their 2020 hairstyles.
But I’m sick of talking about them. Plus, I have another interesting head-to-head matchup that should be talked about more: Lynn Williams vs. Alex Morgan.
Who are the richest women's soccer players in the world-you ask? How much do female footballers make? Great questions and you’re in luck, because we put together a list of some of the richest women's soccer players in the world.
But let’s keep something in mind, the word ‘rich’ when used here is subjective — especially when we take a look at the richest male footballers in the world.
These women are rich compared to the Average Joe, but they’re severely underpaid when it comes to the professional sports world.
Abby Wambach, the greatest goal scorer in U.S. soccer history, knows how you feel.
She understands the torment you face every day, the agony of decision plaguing couples every single night. The anguish, frustration and heartache over the inability to make one fucking decision.
Abby Wambach is all of us.
Hope Solo has never been shy about her love for her dobermans; she’s a proud owner of five of the majestic dogs. Sadly, tragedy struck one of her doggos this week when someone committed the “heinous act” of shooting her beloved Conan on Wednesday.
Solo announced the news on Instagram and Twitter on Thursday afternoon, saying Conan was in critical condition. She also thanked the Wilkes Veterinary Hospital in North Carolina and its staff for their aid.
Alex Morgan’s baby has finally graced us with her presence.
The USWNT superstar announced on Saturday that Charlie Elena Carrasco was born at 11:30 a.m. on May 7, 2020, weighing in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces.
At 1130am on May 7 weighing 8lbs5oz, Charlie Elena Carrasco made her grand entrance into the world. She made us wait longer than expected, but I should have known she would do it her way and her way only. My super moon baby. pic.twitter.com/dDbIXW6INr
Update May 9: Alex Morgan gave birth on May 7. Read all about it here.
It’s a good thing the 2020 Olympics were pushed bacl to 2021, because it would’ve been mighty hard for Alex Morgan to return to playing shape given how long it’s taking her baby to arrive. The latest Alex Morgan baby update showed the USWNT superstar riding her bike while 41 (!) weeks pregnant.
U.S. women's national soccer team co-captains Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe said they were shocked after their team's claims for equal pay were dismissed by a court.
The duo, who helped the U.S. to a record fourth World Cup title last year, said they planned to appeal the decision, after a California judge on Friday threw out the players' claims that they were underpaid in comparison with the men's team.
Let’s end the week with some good great news: Introducing, the two newest members of the USWNT: twin Hope Solo babies.
Hope Solo gave birth to twins on March 4. This week, Solo introduced her babies to the world for the first time, via LeBron James’ platform Uninterrupted. Arguably the greatest goalkeeper in the history of the game, Solo thanked all of the nurses and doctors who helped her and her new infants — they were in the NICU — and have battled COVID-19.
