America begins qualification for the next iteration of the Women's World Cup today on CBS Sports against Haiti.

Priestman should try and find a way to get Grosso, Sinclair, Beckie and Huitema all in the starting lineup. These are 4 of Canada’s most talented players at the moment.

I know Priestman likes the pace of Rose and the midfield presence of Quinn, but if we’re being honest Rose doesn’t bring enough technical ability or smart movement/passing and Grosso is a far better player on the ball than Quinn.

Alex Morgan scored a penalty late in the second half to guide the United States to a 1-0 victory over Canada in the CONCACAF W Championship final in Monterrey, Mexico, on Monday night.

The game was a rematch of last summer's Olympic semifinal game, which Canada won 1-0 before going on to win the gold medal in Tokyo, with the victory securing the USWNT a spot in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

US shoulda had at least 3 in yesterday's game, really horrendous finishing on display.

USWNT ready to win the World Cup? What next for Mexico? CONCACAF W Championship look-back

ESPN's Jeff Carlisle, Jeff Kassouf and Cesar Hernandez look back at the takeaways, surprises and questions left from the CONCACAF W Championship.

Good read. Basically US looked a bit rusty but still won the CONCACAF W championship anyway.

Brazil won the Copa America for umpteenth time in a row, scoring 20 and conceding none.

Didn't watch the tournament otherwise, but in the final when Debinha scored the PK winner, Colombia keeper had already moved to to the other post and was way off the line by the time Debinha touched the ball.

Pretty easy to score into the other corner, and stupid move by the keeper.

Arsenal dominant over Spurs but the finishing hasn’t been there.

UNTIL NOW. THE GOAT

Finally going to the Angel City game today. Haven't had a chance all season, but really looking forward to that atmosphere with a chance of the playoffs on the line.

Every women’s game I’ve been to has been a ton of fun. Don’t try to compare to MLS/whatever, treat it like its own thing. It’s a very fun time.

Yeah I've seen the USWNT live several times before and this game tonight was very reminiscent of those games. Went to the game with my dad and we both had an awesome time. Stadium was sold out and buzzing. I think at some point between now and the beginning of next season I'm going to get season seats because the prices just seem too good to pass up.

There's an issue with Portland FC now that they've been outed in the investigation. Paul Riley used to coach portland but now people want ownership held accountable.

On brighter news US plays England (Euro champs) at 3 pm EST tomorrow on FOX. And the ACC continues to look sharp in women's soccer, as #3 FSU toppled #2 UVA in Charlottesville. FSU scored their lone goal 1 minute in.

Halftime: 2-1 England. US tied it but a controversial VAR call found Rodman "offside"

 

[kingsboy11]

VAR hates the US when they play England.

Entertaining game nonetheless

 

[John Price]

England win it 2-1. They're legit.

 

[robertmac43]

Momentum is building for this English team, they are trending in the perfect direction heading into the 2023 World Cup,

 

[GabeTravels]

Really fun game to attend even though the result wasn't what I wanted. Was great to finally experience a match at Wembley. 75K for a Women's friendly is great to see as well.

England moved the ball so well, their Right Wing was rapid, and they dominated the midfield. Deserved the victory despite the questionable VAR.

USWNT has lost 2 straight for the first time since like 2017. They had a long winning streak before the England game, but played a light Concacaf schedule.

USWNT has lost 2 straight for the first time since like 2017. They had a long winning streak before the England game, but played a light Concacaf schedule.

And they lost to a Spain B- squad. We're dealing with injuries of our own, but this is a definite concern given how they played in the Olympics and a World cup in like 8 months time.

Arsenal up 3-1 at half against Lyon in Lyon.
