FIFA World Cup (Women's)

On a cold Thursday night in Columbus, Ohio, the USWNT beat Sweden 3-2 in the first match for the new U.S. head coach Vlatko Andonovski. 

It’s sad, really. The U.S. Soccer Federation has done so much good for women’s soccer, but when it comes to paying the best team in the world more money, it is dragging its feet worse than a kid being taken to the dentist. 

As the NWSL season is coming to an end, two teams will go head-to-head for the NWSL Championship on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Cary, North Carolina, at WakeMed Soccer Park.

The North Carolina Courage defeated Reign FC 4-1 in extra time on Sunday to advance to the NWSL championship game with a chance to defend their title. Additionally, the Courage won the NWSL Shield for the third straight year with a league-best 15-5-4 record. The NWSL Championship is nothing new for the Courage, and manager Paul Riley said he believes they are ready to compete and win.

Colorado native Lindsey Horan recently shared her story about how she started her journey to achieve her dreams with The Players’ Tribune. Horan had her goals set from a young age, when she dreamed of being the best football player in the world. Her mindset remains the same today, except now she’s living out her dream. 


The numbers are officially in, and the 2019 Women's World Cup viewership totals are astronomical — double what they were in 2015 by some of the most important metrics.

Carli Lloyd is creating a little controversy that she wants you to know isn’t a controversy and is just a result of “click bait” and “sad stuff!” 

Lloyd, who won her second Women’s World Cup over the summer, was on “Laughter Permitted with Julie Foudy,” an ESPN-produced podcast, released Tuesday. Lloyd, 37, spoke of her unending desire to be the best there ever was, but in doing so has rubbed many people the wrong way. 

On Oct. 6 in Chicago, USWNT head coach Jill Ellis coached her last game wearing the USA crest. After a 1-1 result against South Korea and a goal scored by none other than veteran Carli Lloyd, Ellis left the field for the last time as a legend.

She retired as the greatest to ever play her sport. Many would argue she’s still the most dominant women’s footballer to have ever graced the pitch. Now you can own her most legendary trophies, medals and memorabilia thanks to an incredible Michelle Akers auction from Goldin Auctions.

Without warning, the Iranian Football Federation made 3,500 tickets for Iran’s World Cup qualifier against Cambodia on Thursday available to women, essentially permitting women to attend a men’s soccer match for the first time in 40 years.

Through social media, women found out about the tickets anyway, and within minutes they were all gone, Reuters reported Friday.

As the 2019 NWSL season is coming to an end, Sky Blue FC player Carli Lloyd is starting to think about the future of her football career. And I am not talking about her kicking career in the NFL.
