One of the most confusing soccer rules is offside. All of us soccer fans know the difficulty of trying to explain how offside works to first-time watchers. Though it is an important part of the game, it is also one of the most difficult to understand, especially when the goalkeeper comes into play like in the 2010 World Cup opener.
The U.S. men’s national team’s world standing is plummeting at the same time the women’s national team is soaring. The June FIFA rankings released on Friday saw the USMNT fall six places to 30th in the world, its worst ranking since 2017.

The USWNT entered the tournament as the defending champion and the world’s No. 1 ranked side, and the team can still rely on Carli Lloyd, who finished joint-top scorer in 2015 with six goals. However, when it comes to the most Women’s World Cup goals of all time, the 36-year-old remains just outside the top 10 with eight total goals.

The U.S. women’s national team put a beatdown of historic proportions on Thailand on Tuesday. FOX and Telemundo reaped the benefits with huge USWNT vs Thailand TV ratings.
The U.S. women national team’s 13-0 thrashing of Thailand was nothing short of incredible. Behind Alex Morgan’s record five goals, the USWNT set the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup game.
Despite all the goals that poured in — and there were a lot — the best moments of the match for the U.S. didn’t come on the pitch, but in the stands.
The U.S. women’s national team was drawn into a fairly easy group for the Women’s World Cup, with only one match really expected to challenge the reigning champions. So when does USWNT play Sweden?
The USWNT defeated Thailand 13-0 on Tuesday, making actual analysis of the game about as meaningful as discussing who won the big fight between the ice cube and the Sun.
