Emma Hayes' first USWNT roster reveals a team that already evolved in her absence
When Hayes arrives this week, although she'll have plenty of familiarizing to do, her core — the players, the most important part of any national team — will largely already be in place.

Emma Hayes' first USWNT roster reveals a team that already evolved in her absence

Strong team, some new faces. Interesting seeing them list Crystal Dunn as a forward.

Crystal Dunn is an amazing forward (winger). She played fullback to help the team, not because it’s her best position

Oh I agree, I was just surprised because she hasn't done it with the national team in years and the current depth of the forwards. Nighswonger breaking out has opened the door for her to move higher up the pitch.

Good luck to Emma Hayes in her debut tonight (5 PM EST)
Hayes and the USA will be taking on a South Korea side that failed to qualify for Paris 2024, which would have been the program’s first ever trip to the Summer Olympics. Korea Republic was drawn into Group B for the Second Round of the AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament, which took place in China in late October. With the three group winners and the top second-place finisher advancing to the next round, Korea Republic opened group play with an emphatic 10-1 win over Thailand, led by hat-tricks from American-born forward Casey Phair and 21-year-old forward Chun Garam. However, South Korea drew its next two matches against North Korea (0-0) and China PR (1-1) to finish second in the group and saw its Olympic hopes come to an end.

Canada's squad following later today it sounds.
No Alex Morgan for the USA.

United confirm Mary Earps, captain Katie Zelem and Lucia Garcia will leave at the end of their contracts. Top goalscorer Nikita Parris' contract is up too but haven't seen anything confirmed. Earps rumoured to be going to PSG.
Not a great start by INEOS especially after not telling the Women's team the end of season awards dinner was cancelled until after it became public.

And also that the men's team is going to be using the women's facility while Carrington is being redeveloped. Can't say I blame them for leaving if this is how they're going to be treated moving forward.

It is for one season only. There was apparently another temporary location available for offices etc. but it was deemed too far from Carrington, where the training pitches are. It does kind off suck that the club's overall problems relate from the poor handling of the men's team and once that's been put on right track, it should extend it's way to the women's team.
Supposedly Berrada was involved with the women's team at City too so maybe he'll do a similar review with the women's team as with the men's team. Also, imagine the backlash, nay, shitstorm from the fans if the men's team was forced to temp locker rooms? Feels a bit like a no-win scenario.
