Should Russia Be Banned From The World Cup? There’s Historical Precedent

This week, Russia initiated an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the largest attack on a European nation since World War II. Amid global condemnation of the needless aggression and as Vladimir Putin turns his country into an international pariah, sports organizations have quickly moved to strip Russia of major events. While soccer isn’t the primary concern in Eastern Europe right now, many in the footballing world are wondering: Will FIFA ban Russia from the World Cup? Can UEFA kick Russian clubs out of its competitions?

USWNT Players Used Their Trip To Texas To Make A Strong Statement To Gov. Abbott

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.

Hope Solo Attacks Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe Over USWNT Settlement

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.

USWNT Players Trump Sexism, Win Battle For Equal Pay

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. 

I’m Still Thinking About Ashley Sanchez’s Dirty Skill vs. New Zealand

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.

México Femenil Le Hace Ocho A Antigua Y Barbuda, Pero No Convence A Todo El Mundo

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.

USWNT Hammers New Zealand 5-0 With Goals From Ashley Hatch, Mal Pugh And 3 Own Goals From One Player

New Zealand defender Meikayla Moore scored three goals — for the U.S. women's national team — and the Americans won in a bizarre manner, 5-0, in Carson, Calif., on Sunday in their second match of the SheBelieves Cup.

The Americans, who tied the Czech Republic 0-0 in their tourney opener on Thursday, got all the help they needed when Moore had own goals in the 5th, 6th and 36th minutes.

USWNT Forces New Zealand's Meikayla Moore Into 3 Own Goals In Just 36 Minutes

To my knowledge, there's been one hat-trick of own goals in football history (although even that's disputed). On Sunday, USWNT fans were witness to a second.

New Zealand's Meikayla Moore, who plays her club ball for Liverpool and was receiving her 50th cap on Sunday, put the ball into her own net three times in 36 minutes during the Football Ferns' SheBelieves Cup match against the USWNT.

Mexico Femenil Shows No Mercy And Scores Nine Against Suriname In The Road To The 2023 World Cup

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.
