Naomi Girma had never scored for the United States women’s national team prior to Wednesday... She went on to score twice against Argentina during a friendly and nearly had a third as she forced an own goal.

On a night meant to honor Rose Lavelle with 100 appearances for the USWNT, the Girma goals vs Argentina stole the show as the world class defender turned into a lethal No. 9 in front of goal.

The USWNT showed they are also capable of getting the result while trailing on the scoreboard. Even with a plethora of substitutions.

Emma Hayes’ perfect record with the U.S. women’s national team will remain intact after yet another winning performance from the USWNT on Sunday, defeating Iceland 3-1 in their second and last head-to-head against this week at Geodis Park.

An amazing Alyssa Thompson goal vs Iceland opened the scoring for the United States women’s national team in their 3-1 victory on Thursday. The goal also marked Thompson’s first for the Stars and Stripes.

The USWNT went up against a compact and feisty Iceland side in their first game since the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics in August. 

Former U.S. women’s national team forward, Sydney Leroux, scored what is undoubtedly a strong contender for best goal of the NWSL season.

In the 56th minute and with Angel City FC trailing 1-0 against Utah Royals FC at home on Sunday, a series of rebounds at the edge of the 18-yard box, received by Leroux with her back turned on goal, ended in what of the most aesthetically-pleasing finishes you’ll see this year.

Emma Hayes is ushering in the new era of the United States women’s national team with fresh faces on the October USWNT roster.

Hayes was required due to the USWNT’s CBA to call up all available players from the Paris Olympic roster, but she still brought in some new names and players we haven’t seen in over a year.

Here’s the 26-player roster that will play two friendlies against Iceland and one against Argentina this month.

Welcome to H-Town, @zoe_ZM5!

United States women’s national team legend and icon Kelley O’Hara had a bittersweet conclusion to her career as injuries ended her final season early.

She had planned to retire after the 2024 NWSL season, but was forced to hang up her boots in September.

Her club, Gotham FC, announced she was on the season-ending injury list meaning the Bats’ 2-1 victory vs. Houston Dash on Sept. 8 was her O'Hara's final appearance.

Canada's Christine Sinclair, the world's top international goal scorer among both women and men, said on Friday she will retire from professional soccer at the end of the 2024 NWSL season in November.

Sinclair, whose 190 international goals is the most among both men and women, retired from the Canadian team last December. She is currently in her 12th season with the NWSL's Portland Thorns, who wrap up their regular season on Nov. 1 and are currently sitting in a playoff spot.
