The USMNT had a big day on Tuesday, beating Iran 1-0 to advance to the Round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar. It was also a big day for the USWNT. Their World Cup may not kick off until 2023, but they’re finally being paid like the world-class athletes they are. Making it to the knockout round of the World Cup guarantees the USMNT a prize of at least $13 million. And since World Cup payouts are being split down the middle between the USMNT and USWNT due to the landmark equal pay agreement… Source link

There were times when Megan Rapinoe wondered whether she was finished. There were days when rehab got arduous, and rewards seemed distant, and scary thoughts stewed. “Do I even want to do this?” Rapinoe wondered as she battled a string of vexing injuries this past spring. “Do I even want to play anymore?” She’d been playing for three decades, from the boundless fields of Palo Cedro, California, to sport’s biggest stages. She’d trained daily and performed regularly, relishing the… Source link

(Photo by Jaime Lopez/Jam Media/Getty Images) Nine months before the 2019 U.S. women’s national team conquered all comers, it was already a finished product.

Of the 11, 10 started the… Source link

After telling Hope Solo that she “hated” playing for the U.S. Women’s National Team late in her career, Carli Lloyd clarified her criticism of the program’s “culture.” She’s not happy with some teammates she said were more concerned with their “brand” than the team. Lloyd announced her retirement from the USWNT after the Tokyo Olympics last summer following a storied career that included two Olympic gold medals and two World Cup championships as the program’s third-leading goal scorer of all… Source link

TOKYO — The United States women’s national team delivered a performance a little more befitting of, well, the United State women’s soccer team here Saturday night, defeating an outclassed New Zealand squad 6-1. This was the kind of onslaught the Americans wanted considering it came three days after they were uncharacteristically blown out 3-0 by Sweden in their Olympic opener. The victory almost assures the U.S. will move onto the quarterfinals, which begin next week. In what is just a… Source link

It hasn’t lost since winning the 2019 World Cup. Hasn’t lost under head coach Vlatko Andonovski. Hasn’t lost in 38 games. Sweden almost ended all of that on Saturday. But Megan Rapinoe’s 87th-minute penalty stole a 1-1 draw for the USWNT in a pre-Olympic friendly, and kept a remarkable unbeaten streak alive. The penalty,… Source link
