The Super Bowl is around the corner, a time when all Americans gather around a TV to shovel nachos into their mouths while drinking copious amounts of beer, all under the guise of watching that abating sport called American football. Of course, all anyone really cares about, besides the food and beer, is the commercials, and we got our nacho-covered hands on the latest 2020 Budweiser Super Bowl ad on Thursday.
Wendie Renard, one of the best center backs in the game, has lost a major trophy, apparently stolen from her suitcase on a train.
Megan Rapinoe’s remarkable 2019 didn’t come to a close without one more television appearance. Rapinoe made a cameo in a Dec. 22 episode of “The L Word: Generation Q” as a guest on the show “Alice,” talking about everything from locker room celebrations to her own coming out story.
As this decade is coming to an end, we reminisce over the successes of the USWNT. The spotlight, the hate and emotional rollercoaster of the 2019 USWNT team in particular is one that definitely tops the decade off at an all time high.
The 2019 Women's World Cup was a marvelous show of just how popular and powerful women’s soccer is. From Megan Rapinoe’s on- and off-field performances, to the stellar competition from start to finish to huge crowds in France and viewership on TV, the tournament was a rousing success.
Now FIFA wants to cheapen the whole experience.
Former USWNT goalkeeper Hope Solo has just revealed that she’s pregnant with twins. The World Cup champion and her husband Jerramy Stevens (a former NFL player) are expecting the best of both worlds: a boy and a girl.

Tired of hearing about Megan Rapinoe? Yeah, me neither.
Rapinoe has had herself quite the year and to add on to her standout persona, Nike honored her with a pair of cleats designed specifically to commemorate her triumph at Monday’s Ballon d’Or ceremony.
She’s known for her pink hair, her activism and her recent World Cup performance with the USWNT, where she earned herself the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards. Now if you had to describe Rapinoe by customizing a cleat, it would look a lot like Nike’s design.
After dominating headlines on and off the field during this summer’s Women’s World Cup, Megan Rapinoe took home the biggest individual prize of them all on Monday. The USWNT winger won the 2019 Ballon d’Or Féminin at an award ceremony on Monday in Paris, the first American to take home the prestigious honor (it’s only in its second year).
Julie Ertz, the USWNT standout and two-time World Cup champion, and her husband Zach Ertz, an NFL player and Super Bowl Champion, are the epitome of a power couple.
As professional athletes they, like many other professional couples, are a tad bit more competitive than the average couple. They are always supportive of one another when they are competing on the biggest stage, but even when they are playing a friendly game of air hockey the winner (Julie) enjoys her bragging rights.
NWSL player Carson Pickett plays for the Orlando Pride and shows her pride each and every game both on and off the field. She does not only stand out for her play, but she was a born with a birth defect, which caused her to not have a left forearm and hand.
Despite her minor difference she did not let it hold her back from chasing her dreams and allowing others with similar qualities to be proud of who they are and to follow their dreams.
