The U.S. women’s national team is used to being the best team in the world. No one has won more Women’s World Cups or Olympic gold medals than the U.S. But three months before the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the USWNT players don’t look near good enough to win a record fourth championship.
For anyone that has ever made an excuse to not go to practice, well, Orlando Pride’s Sydney Leroux just set the standard on how strong women can be.
As of March 3, it’s now only 96 days until the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup kicks off on June 7 with hosts France taking on South Korea at the Parc des Princes in Paris. With the date fast approaching, we can now feast our eyes on the official FIFA tournament posters for each of the nine host cities.
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.
When the U.S. women’s national team lines up to play England in the SheBelieves Cup on Saturday, you won’t see the names of Morgan, Rapinoe and Sauerbrunn on the backs of the jerseys. Not that Alex, Megan and Becky will be missing, but the USWNT jerseys vs England will be displaying something more important than the surnames of some of the best players in the world.
To honor Women’s History Month, the U.S. players will wear the names of women who have inspired them on the back of their jerseys.
Want to know the secret behind USWNT and Utah Royals superstar Christen Press? Well, the answer is yoga.
The LA native keeps in shape by doing more than just playing soccer.
Yoga is an important factor that has made her a better athlete. And after Wednesday’s SheBelieves match, Press came off the bench and clearly showed how her yoga sessions pay off, supplying an assist to Alex Morgan.
Brazilian football forward Andressa Alves da Silva, who plays for Primera Division club FC Barcelona, received an honorary gift to represent her home country in the SheBelieves Cup.
From one superstar to another, Neymar sent Andressa a pair of his new Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 Elite boots to wear in style during her upcoming international matches.
Both FOX and Telemundo will call upon trailblazing women to lead their 2019 Women's World Cup TV coverage this summer.
Aly Wagner and JP Dellacamera were chosen as FOX’s lead announcing team for the Women’s World Cup, the American broadcaster announced Wednesday exactly 100 days out from the start of the biggest soccer tournament of 2019.
In American men’s soccer, the path to turning pro has never been clearer. The MLS SuperDraft, the general means for college players to enter the league, has always been somewhat irrelevant, but now it’s by and large obsolete. Talent is coming through the league's Development Academies, where players are working year-round on the quest to becoming world-class, not unlike professionals themselves.
During the Oscars TV broadcast on Sunday night, Nike debuted the “Dream Crazier” ad to mark the start of the company’s push toward this summer’s Women’s World Cup in France.
The commercial is a follow-up to the “Dream Crazy” spot which featured narration by Colin Kaepernick and appearances by the USWNT and Canadian international Alphonso Davies.
