Samantha Kerr's Dream to Play A Different Kind Of Footy

Every little girl that participates in soccer at a young age dreams of playing on her national team or professionally. Except Australian native Samantha Kerr.

Growing up in Perth, Australia, Kerr broke gender barriers by playing a sport that was predominately male. She refers to it as footy, but that is just the outback way of saying rugby.

USWNT Has Won Once In Four Matches In 2019 After Draw With England

Another game, another draw. Is it time to worry?

The USWNT was always in for a challenge at the 2019 SheBelieves Cup against the teams ranked No. 4 (England), 8 (Japan) and 10 (Brazil) in the world. But for the No. 1-ranked team, back-to-back draws showed the challenge may have been too much for the current U.S. team.

USWNT Squanders Two Leads In Disappointing 2-2 Draw Against Japan

The USWNT wants to peak this summer at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. The three-time Women’s World Cup champions certainly aren’t peaking right now.

The U.S. opened the SheBelieves Cup with a 2-2 draw with Japan, twice squandering leads and showing an inability to close out a tight match on Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan both found the back of the net, but their goals were countered by a pair from Emi Nakajima and Yuka Momiki, the latter of which came in the 91st minute.
