The National Women’s Soccer League’s team in Washington just got an injection of bipartisanship. Presidential daughters Chelsea Clinton and Jenna Bush Hager are each buying ownership stakes in the Washington Spirit, the team announced. In addition to Clinton, the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Hager, the daughter of George W. and Laura Bush, the Spirit are also lined up to add former USWNT goalie Briana Scurry and groundbreaking Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes to its ownership… Source link

Just one look is all it takes for Hakim Ziyech to know whether he can conjure up one of his trademark assists.
