The United States women’s national team narrowly surpassed Japan in the Olympic quarterfinals on Saturday with a nervy 1-0 victory with several poor individual performances. USWNT captain Lindsey Horan had one of the worst showings.

The 30-year-old captain had a number of sloppy turnovers that turned into opportunities for Japan, she was far too slow on and off the ball and had a scare or two back on defense.

In the 35th minute she uncharacteristically let Japan’s Mina Tanaka spin away from her in the box to rip a shot that forced Alyssa Naeher into action.

The United States women’s national team completed a sweep of their Olympic group stage on Wednesday with a 2-1 victory vs. Australia. One moment fans noticed was an Emily Fox Korbin Albert exchange, or lack thereof we should say.

In the 65th minute of the Australia game head coach Emma Hayes made a triple substitution with Trinity Rodman, Rose Lavelle and Fox coming off for Lynn Williams, Casey Krueger and Albert.

United States women’s national team forward Midge Purce humorously weighed in on Canada Soccer’s drone scandal joking that they needed to “cheat better.”

Canada’s soccer programs are in hot water after the women’s team were discovered spying on New Zealand’s private practices at the Paris Olympics. It’s now been reported that both the men’s and women’s have a history of using drones to spy on opponents.

USMNT’s Christian Pulisic appeared as a special guest on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night, joining the set of the highly-renowned talk show host during AC Milan’s USA preseason tour. They will play Manchester City at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.

Pulisic talked about his life coming up as a soccer player, when he realized he would become a professional soccer player, his Halloween costumes as a child and much more.

Plenty of United States women’s national team talk this summer has been around Alex Morgan being left off the Olympic roster. As for Morgan? She’s enjoying the Italian water and sunshine on vacation.

She and former USWNT teammate Kelley O’Hara experienced a double-date getaway to the Mediterranean this July. The two are living their best lives enjoying food and drinks while jumping off boats into the sea.

History was made at CPKC Stadium Friday night as Temwa Chawinga became the first player to launch a ball outside the building and into the Missouri River. KC Current would defeat the Houston Dash 2-0.

The Chawinga river ball shot saw her effort soar over the goal, over the stands and eventually become aquatic. The home fans went nuts.
