In one of the most dominant displays that we’ve seen in a cup final, men or women, there are plenty of players that could have been named the Player of the Match. But after breaking history in an already historic match, Carli Lloyd took this game by the scruff of the neck. Her early hat […]

Here we are, the Women’s World Cup Final. The USWNT faces Japan in a rematch from the 2011 Women’s World Cup. Both teams went through some insurmountable odds to get to this point and to do it for a second time in a row, is just tremendous. Earlier today we took a look at the […]

While the history of the FIFA Women’s World Cup finals are just six matches strong, unlike the men’s counterpart it has been full of entertaining, memorable games. Games that have stood the test of time and unlike the men’s side, have actually all lived up to billing. There’s been all-out attacking soccer in some finals, […]

The NBA’s Miami Heat tweeted the USWNT good luck as they go against Japan in the Women’s World Cup Final. There was just one problem, their timing was a little off.

One! More! Game! The USWNT is one step away from the summit of women’s soccer, the USA is in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final. They will face either Japan in a World Cup Final rematch or face England on Independence Day weekend. Japan and England will play on Sunday night at 6 PM […]

After a lackluster performance in their Round of 16 game against Colombia, the USWNT rebounded by putting in a pretty dominating performance against China in the Quarterfinals. The score may have been 1-0 instead of 2-0 against Colombia but the USWNT was definitely a more complete team tonight. The game started off under rather horribly […]

WOW! England’s right back, Lucy Bronze, delivered a rocket of a goal late in their Round of 16 matchup against Norway. After being down 1-0, the English ladies came back to score twice and win their first Women’s World Cup elimination game ever 2-1. They will face Canada in the Quarterfinals. An England team that […]

Blame it on the artificial turf, blame it on the location, blame it on the increased investment by many more countries than in previous years but there doesn’t seem to be a good to honest favorite to win the Women’s World Cup. We have as many as six to nine legitimate contenders for the Women’s […]

It’s no secret that women’s soccer gets some very sexist stereotypes thrown at those involved in the sport. These stereotypes surface the most during the Women’s World Cup. There is progress in that I personally have noticed fewer sexist remarks this year than four years ago but it’s still there. Players can take that in […]

The FIFA Women’s World Cup Group Stage has ended and we now have a couple days to recap and look forward to the Knockout Stage. We have seen a very exciting and wide open World Cup so far and we shouldn’t expect to see anything different now that it’s single elimination. 1) Biggest Winner […]

France beat Mexico 5-0 today to win Group F and face the runner up in Group E. While France was winning handedly, that didn’t stop Amadine Henry to score this beautiful goal that no one could have possibly stopped. The Round of 16 is almost finalized. Group E is finishing up and then we’ll have […]

Brazil’s Formiga and Japan’s Homare Sawa are competing for all the “oldest” records. At 37 and 36 respectively, both are participating in their 6th Women’s World Cup. To put that in perspective, both have been playing for their respective teams since the 2nd World Cup in 1995. Formiga dipped into the fountain of youth when […]

The United States began their World Cup against Australia and while Australia is putting up a fight, it was the Americans who scored first. Megan Rapinoe took advantage of a fortunate bounce but her strike from about 20 yards struck the back of the net to take the lead 1-0 in the 12th minute. The […]
