Formiga, 44, is a legend of the game in the truest sense of the word. Though she retired from the Brazilian national team in November, she began her 30th year of professional football on Monday as the Brasileiro Feminino A1 season kicked off. She may be old enough to be both team captain and team mom, but she’s still out there breaking ankles with ageless grace and style on the pitch.
Brisbane Roar plays its final A-League match of the season Thursday without any hope of qualifying for the Finals series, but it does present 25-year-old American Shea Connors with an opportunity to add one final flourish to a breakthrough season in Australia's top division.
The Roar were in action Monday against Newcastle Jets with Connors partnering Australian international Larissa Crummer in attack. The St. John's University graduate had four goals in 11 league appearances entering the game and she added two more to move joint-sixth in the division in total goals.

Hace unos días, Chivas Femenil anunció el fichaje de la delantera Leslie Ramírez.
Nelly Simon, directora deportiva del club, justificó su llegada ante alto número de convocadas que está teniendo el equipo en las selecciones nacionales del Tri. "Leslie no solo juega de 9, puede jugar de enganche y puede jugar por la banda. Gracias a Dios nuestras convocadas, que son muchas, son del sector ofensivo.

That era is ending, though worry not, it won’t change too much.
El Tri Femenil Sub 20 dio otro paso al Mundial de Costa Rica luego de golear por 5-0 a Guyana.
Como autora de un doblete, Maritza Maldonado fue la que se llevó más aplausos en el equipo mexicano. Sin embargo, parte de los focos también alumbraron a Tatiana Flores, delantera del Chelsea y hermana de Marcelo Flores.
Gran parte del alboroto se debe a que la jugadora convirtió su primer gol en la categoría aún cuando apenas tiene 16 años. Y si bien Guyana no era un gran obstáculo, Flores comienza a demostrar el gran potencial que se guisa en sus pies.
