A dream come true! 16-year-old makes her professional debut and scores bicycle kick

I don't know if Deiry Ramírez is going to become the next Mexican superstar or not. However, whatever happens with her career in the future, nobody can take away the fact that she once lived the dream. She scored a bicycle kick in her first-ever professional game at just 16 years old.

In doing it, she also became the youngest player ever to score in Liga MX Femenil.

The women’s soccer world was robbed of Becky Sauerbrunn’s first USWNT goal by INCHES

Veteran United States women’s national team center back Becky Sauerbrunn was celebrated in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, on Tuesday at CITYPARK ahead of the USWNT’s friendly vs. Ireland for reaching 200 international appearances.

She reached the 200-mark last year during the SheBelieves Cup but was honored for reaching the milestone in front of family and a massive home crowd. Tuesday's friendly was her 216th cap for the USWNT.

El momento ¡aaaaw! de la semana: Bianca Sierra y Stephany Mayor esperan gemelos

Bianca Sierra y Stephany Mayor no están teniendo la mejor temporada de sus carreras. Tigres no anda como acostumbra, mientras que las lesiones y altibajos en sus rendimientos han hecho que la experiencia sea menos agradable aún.

Sin embargo, a nivel personal, las jugadoras experimentan uno de los momentos más felices de sus vidas y así lo hicieron saber en redes sociales: serán madres de gemelos.

¡Aaaaaw!

This could be a fun USWNT starting XI vs. Ireland on Saturday

By the time the USWNT and Ireland wrap-up their two-match friendly series next Tuesday at CityPark, there'll be less than 100 days before the start of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. 

So although the U.S. holds a 13-0-0 advantage all-time against the Girls in Green (outscoring them 48 to one in the process), there'll be plenty of internal battles to focus on at Q2 Stadium in Austin on Saturday before the second game in St. Louis three days later.

USWNT World Cup jerseys released — they're a lot better than the USMNT ones

After Nike set the bar about as low as it gets for the USMNT in Qatar, we're happy to report that the USWNT jersey options for the 2023 World Cup are much more desirable.

The sales people said we'd learn to love the USMNT kits eventually, but it's been five months and I still don't like them. As for the latest USWNT efforts, I do believe these will look better and better as the team moves toward the World Cup final in Sydney.
