Becky Sauerbrunn Held Nothing Back During Her Twitter Takeover

The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup quarterfinal aired again on March 28 so we could relive the excitement of the USWNT’s run. Becky Sauerbrunn joined in on @FoxSoccer to answer questions on Twitter, and she did not hold anything back about her teammates. Here are some of my faves:

Ali Krieger And Ashlyn Harris Go Hard At Everything, Including Quarantining

Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are making the most of staying inside during quarantine without any soccer. Krieger overestimated her goalkeeper abilities as she attempted Harris’ hand-eye coordination training. After Krieger’s attempt, she credited goalkeepers and admitted it was not easy whatsoever. 

Whereas her partner Harris effortlessly caught every single ping pong ball, Krieger, despite being very concentrated, well, she did the best she could. This is the kind of entertaining content the world needs.

Carli Lloyd Pushes Back Retirement For Another Year

As a two-time FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year, two-time World Cup champion and the only player (of either gender) to score the game-winning goal in two separate Olympic gold medal matches, Carli Lloyd has had a legendary football career. 

However, her time with the USWNT is nearing an end. Lloyd has appeared in 281 games, scored 113 goals and recorded 52 assists, and it’s clear that her impact on the USWNT and women’s soccer will be remembered for quite some time. 

New President And CEO Of U.S. Soccer Working To Rebuild Reputation With USWNT

U.S. Soccer hopes that resolving an ongoing pay equity lawsuit with its women's national team will be a first step in a "long process" to rebuild its reputation, the body's president and CEO told reporters on Tuesday. 

President Cindy Parlow Cone took over from Carlos Cordeiro less than two weeks ago after he resigned having taken responsibility for language used in a court filing that prompted public outcry, an on-field protest by players and rebukes from commercial sponsors. 

Julie Ertz, Husband Donate $100K To Provide Meals During COVID-19 Outbreak

Julie Ertz might just be the most dominant player in soccer right now — and the most magnanimous. 

The two-time Women’s World Cup winner teamed up with her husband to donate $100,000 to Philabundance, a Philadelphia-area food bank, to provide meals to those in need during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Ertz and her husband, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, announced the donation on Friday evening through their Ertz Family Foundation. 

FS1 Here To Save Your Soul With Replays Of Last Two Women’s World Cup Finals

If you’re anything like me, you’re starting to go through sports withdrawal. Not since I became consciously aware of sports has there ever been a period so void of sporting events to watch (or play). 

With almost every single sporting event postponed, canceled or suspended by the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve been reduced to watching replays of games to which we already know the outcome. 

U.S. Soccer Gets First Female President As Carlos Cordeiro Resigns In Disgrace

U.S. Soccer President Carlos Cordeiro resigned on Thursday after taking responsibility for language in a federation court filing that "caused great offense and pain" and prompted an on-field protest by the national women's team.

The women's team sued the national federation for gender discrimination just over a year ago in a lawsuit that included complaints about wages and working conditions.

A trial date has been set for May 5 after talks between the two parties broke down.

Former USWNT Players Among Those Calling For U.S. Soccer President To Resign

Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated published a column late Wednesday night stating U.S. Soccer Federation president Carlos Cordeiro should resign. Now former USWNT players are echoing those sentiments while current players continue to bash the Federation for sexism and misogyny.

USSF Claimed MNT Requires More Skill, So USWNT Proved It Wrong With 2 Insane Goals

With the USWNT’s lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation nearing its May court date, we’re learning more about how the Federation is planning to defend itself. Essentially, it appears the USSF will argue men are superior to women and the USMNT requires greater skill and responsibility than the USWNT.

The two-time defending world champions disagree.
