Want to know the secret behind USWNT and Utah Royals superstar Christen Press? Well, the answer is yoga.
The LA native keeps in shape by doing more than just playing soccer.
Yoga is an important factor that has made her a better athlete. And after Wednesday’s SheBelieves match, Press came off the bench and clearly showed how her yoga sessions pay off, supplying an assist to Alex Morgan.
The USWNT wants to peak this summer at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. The three-time Women’s World Cup champions certainly aren’t peaking right now.
The U.S. opened the SheBelieves Cup with a 2-2 draw with Japan, twice squandering leads and showing an inability to close out a tight match on Wednesday in Philadelphia.
Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan both found the back of the net, but their goals were countered by a pair from Emi Nakajima and Yuka Momiki, the latter of which came in the 91st minute.
Brazilian football forward Andressa Alves da Silva, who plays for Primera Division club FC Barcelona, received an honorary gift to represent her home country in the SheBelieves Cup.
From one superstar to another, Neymar sent Andressa a pair of his new Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 Elite boots to wear in style during her upcoming international matches.
Both FOX and Telemundo will call upon trailblazing women to lead their 2019 Women's World Cup TV coverage this summer.
Aly Wagner and JP Dellacamera were chosen as FOX’s lead announcing team for the Women’s World Cup, the American broadcaster announced Wednesday exactly 100 days out from the start of the biggest soccer tournament of 2019.
In American men’s soccer, the path to turning pro has never been clearer. The MLS SuperDraft, the general means for college players to enter the league, has always been somewhat irrelevant, but now it’s by and large obsolete. Talent is coming through the league's Development Academies, where players are working year-round on the quest to becoming world-class, not unlike professionals themselves.
During the Oscars TV broadcast on Sunday night, Nike debuted the “Dream Crazier” ad to mark the start of the company’s push toward this summer’s Women’s World Cup in France.
The commercial is a follow-up to the “Dream Crazy” spot which featured narration by Colin Kaepernick and appearances by the USWNT and Canadian international Alphonso Davies.
“Yes, soccer is mainly white.”
“We still have so far to go.”
“You wouldn’t say that if it was a white player.”
Celebrating Black History Month, Major League Soccer held another roundtable on black soccer in America.
Soccer is the world’s game, the most beautifully diverse sport bringing countries and cultures of all kinds together. But in the U.S. soccer remains, for the most part, a sport of the suburbs, a white sport even.
The 2018-19 season could prove to be a special one for the Arsenal women. The Gunners are trailing Manchester City by two points in the FA Women’s Super League, but Arsenal maintains two games in hand. The club could also capture its first piece of silverware this season when playing City on Saturday in the final of the FA Women’s League Cup.
Arsenal men’s goalkeeper Petr Čech has been paying close attention, and the Czech shot-stopper made good on his promise of taking the team out for dinner on Monday night while footing the bill for 16 people at Sushi Samba in London.
This is the beginning of a new era for U.S. Soccer.
On Tuesday, the USSF made the change we’ve all been waiting for. No, I’m not talking abolishing pay-to-play, revamping the development academies or giving the men and women equal pay. I’m talking about something far more important.
Finally, the world makes sense.
Finally, U.S. Soccer has seen the light.
Finally, the USWNT and USMNT Twitter handles are what they should be.
En su entrevista previa al Super Bowl con la CBS la semana pasada, Donald Trump dijo que preferiría que su hijo de 12 años, Barron, no jugara al fútbol americano, a pesar de que la NFL y el fútbol universitario son líderes en la asistencia a los deportes más importantes de los Estados Unidos.
Es demasiado peligroso, dijo el presidente de los EE.UU., refiriéndose a la tasa de conmoción cerebral así como a la prevalencia de otros tipos de lesiones.
