The USWNT just won a landmark settlement to end its long battle with U.S. Soccer for pay equity on Tuesday. On Wednesday night, many of those players were back using their platform to bring attention to another human rights issue: transgender rights.
We here at The18 have long touted the exploits of Catarina Macario, from her time at Stanford to the start of her pro career with Lyon to her naturalization from Brazil to join the USWNT. Finally given the keys to drive the U.S.
Hope Solo had some choice words for Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe on Wednesday. The former U.S. goalkeeper used a Twitter thread to blast the USWNT players for Tuesday’s landmark settlement with the U.S. Soccer Federation, saying it was “an easy out of a fight they were never really in.” It highlighted the divide in opinion over whether the settlement was good or bad for women’s soccer in the U.S.
For decades, U.S. women’s national team players have fought for equal pay for equal work. From trailblazers like the beloved 1999ers to the divisive 2019 World Cup winners, USWNT players have long battled to receive pay commensurate to their worth.
The U.S. women have won their fight for equal pay.
The USWNT bounced back from a poor performance against the Czech Republic by crushing New Zealand 5-0 on Sunday. It helped to have Football Ferns defender Meikayla Moore score a perfect hat trick of own goals, but the Americans were far more adventurous on offense, creating better scoring opportunities than in the stunning 0-0 draw a few days earlier.
El Tri Femenil volvió a golear en el Campeonato Concacaf W. Luego del 9-0 sobre Surinam, México este domingo le hizo ocho a Antigua y Barbuda jugando de visita en el Estadio Olímpico Felix Sánchez de República Dominicana.
Pese a la dominante performance, en el aire quedó la impresión de que el equipo estuvo lejos de mostrar su mejor cara.
The Mexican women's national team started its journey to the 2023 World Cup with a devastating 9-0 win over Suriname.
Since the first minute, it was quite clear that El Tri Femenil would destroy its rival. The technical differences between both teams were abysmal and vast. And yes, the scoreboard was an expression of the gap between them, but not the only one. Mexico, for example, had 34 shots vs. ZERO from Suriname.
A esta hora es muy probable que la ansiedad vaya escalando por las piernas de las jugadoras de la Selección Femenil de México que hoy inician el sueño que puede llevarlas al Mundial de Australia y Nueva Zelandia 2023.
En el Estadio El Volcán, el Tri enfrentará a Surinam, un rival que según el ránking FIFA no debiera presentar mayores problemas. México está en el puesto 27 de la dichosa lista, mientras que las sudamericanas aparecen recién en el lugar 129.
Pudo ser Canadá, pudo ser Inglaterra, pero a fin de cuentas el destino de Tatiana y Silvana Flores parece estar ligado a la Selección Mexicana.
Al igual que su hermano Marcelo, el compromiso de las jugadoras con el Tri es más fuerte que nunca y prueba de ello es que ambas se entrenan con las selecciones juveniles de México, las cuales tendrán bastante acción en los próximos meses.
La misma federación compartió una imagen de ambas jugadoras en modo práctica y que disparó el orgullo de Rubén, el padre del clan Flores. "Mi corazón se derrite aquí", escribió en Twitter.
The commercials for Super Bowl 56 were the high quality, humorous advertisements everyone hoped for. Michelob’s “Superior Bowl” was a fan-favorite with its superstar cast. While some call it the Michelob commercial or the Big Lebowski commercial, we here at The18 are legally required to call it the Alex Morgan Super Bowl commercial.
