Ali Krieger shared with SELF magazine that she learned of her divorce from former partner Ashlyn Harris while at training with Gotham FC.

Alex Morgan still has a couple years left representing the USWNT and playing in the NWSL, but we might have already seen what her next career path could be. An Alex Morgan golfing clip from the Farmers Insurance Open Pro-Am this week has shown she’s quite the golfer.

All four nations competed in last year’s SheBelieves Cup which saw the USWNT win all three games and lift the trophy.
