After trouncing Thailand 13-0 to begin FIFA Women’s World Cup play, the question facing the USWNT heading into Sunday’s match against Chile was both how many goals they’d score and — uh oh — how they’d celebrate those goals.
It is an almost impossibly touchy subject. Should the size of women's soccer fields and goals be made smaller, scaled to the average size of women instead of the average size of men, to improve women’s soccer?
Just to bring it up would open yourself up to calls of sexism, but Emma Hayes, coach of the Chelsea Women in the Women’s Super League in England, is doing just that in a recent column in The Times.
La ex portera de la USWNT, Hope Solo, vuelve a estar en el foco de atención mientras cubre la Copa Mundial Femenina de la FIFA 2019 para la BBC, y adivinen qué, tiene algo que decir.
A pesar de haber escrito en un artículo reciente para The Guardian, con respecto a que tres años alejada del juego, le han permitido "mirar las cosas desde una perspectiva imparcial y disfrutar del juego por lo que es y sin el dramatismo", Solo está intentando revolver la situación dentro del campo de la USWNT, al tiempo que destaca a las porteras y a la entrenadora del equipo, Jill Ellis.
In what can only be classified as a fitting finale in the storybook of U.S. soccer, the USWNT defeated Mexico 3-0 in the nation’s final match of the Send-Off Series. Tobin Heath, Mal Pugh and Christen Press were on the scoresheet for the U.S., putting the finishing touches on a series of friendly matches in which the defending world champions outscored three opponents by a total score of 11-0.
