This week, USWNT star and World Cup winner Megan Rapinoe inked a book deal with Penguin Publishing.
Megan Rapinoe, a captain of the United States women’s soccer team, has scored a book deal. “I hope this book will inspire people to find what they can do, and in turn inspire other people around them to do the same,” she said. https://t.co/zlZY2r6v3k
At 21 years old, Mallory Pugh is living every little girl's dream. Even her own.
Pugh has had an unorthodox career path in comparison to most female soccer players. In 2017, the Colorado native made a decision to drop out of UCLA, where she lost her NCAA eligibility to pursue her dream of playing professionally in the NWSL for the Washington Spirit. Additionally, she was a crucial entity to the senior USWNT squad when she was called up in 2016 at age 18.
On July 16, 1982, a legend was born.
Carli Lloyd grew up in Delran, New Jersey, and attended Delran High School where she was an All-American soccer player not once, but twice. After her stellar high school career she took her talents to Rutgers University, where she became the first athlete to be named All-Big East four years in a row. Following her standout career, in 2013 she was inducted into the Rutgers University Hall of Distinguished Alumni and was also inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2017.
Before, during and after the USWNT’s run to its fourth Women’s World Cup title this summer, the American players have been outspoken about their social activism.
The undeniable leader of those efforts has been Megan Rapinoe, who has drawn considerable ire (but equal parts praise) from many across the globe for speaking up.
Rapinoe appears to be inspiring the next generation of USWNT leaders, her younger U.S. teammates.
After claiming a FIFA Women’s World Cup winner’s medal, as well as the tournament’s Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards, there’s only one thing left for Megan Rapinoe to achieve this year: grace the cover of EA Sports’ upcoming FIFA 20.
It’s an idea that’s gaining steam, starting with a simple Twitter post from video game and entertainment media website IGN.
The U.S. women’s national team is winding down its raucous celebration tour.
Carli Lloyd isn’t slowing down on the Women’s World Cup celebrations, especially with her birthday coming up next week.
FIFA released its July 2019 rankings for women’s soccer and, obviously, the USWNT ranking remained No. 1. The Americans also set a new record in the process.

Allie Long, a veteran member of the Women’s World Cup-winning USWNT, had a rude awakening from the delirium of the team’s week-long celebration.
Los atletas son una raza diferente. Trabajan sus cuerpos al máximo con un entrenamiento implacable, se alimentan sólo con los alimentos más nutritivos y tienen una ventaja competitiva que pocos pueden igualar. Así que no es sorprendente que haya un número de parejas de famosos deportistas mixtos, especialmente en el mundo del fútbol.
