After the excitement and thrill of the U.S. victory in the Women's World Cup, attention shifts back to the NWSL — the 7-year-old pro league in the U.S. Will the enthusiasm lead to sustained interest?
Fresh off its fourth Women's World Cup title, the U.S. Women's National Team has its eyes set on another prize: more money. The women make less than their male counterparts.
They defeated the Netherlands 2-0 to win a record fourth Women's World Cup title. Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle both scored, helping the team to a perfect tournament.
For two soccer-crazed nations, just one question remains: Will the U.S. continue its march of greatness undaunted, or can the Dutch pull off an upset for the ages?
The USWNT takes on France in a World Cup quarterfinal matchup that had been hoped for for months. The winner advances to a semifinal match-up against England.
Sweden dealt the U.S. a painful loss at the 2016 Summer Olympics. The U.S. squad has spent the past three years working on new strategies to win this time.
A U.S. squad that just might be the best ever is already making history. Italy is doing better than expected, while Brazil and Australia have had rockier paths.
The U.S. enters its first game armed with enormous talent, deep experience and high expectations. The team is prepared for a long tournament run while staying focused on the opponent in front of them.
The roster includes many of the stars who are familiar from previous high-profile international competition, along with a number of younger players. The tournament kicks off June 7 in Paris.
The lawsuit argues that U.S. Soccer has a policy of paying the women's team less than the men's. "We deserved to be paid equally for our work, regardless of our gender," says player Alex Morgan.
