The United States Women’s National Team secured a gritty 1-0 victory over Brazil on Tuesday night, but the football was almost entirely overshadowed by total anarchy on the pitch. In a highly contentious game, the officiating took center stage as a staggering eight red cards were issued to the home side's players and coaching staff.
Sophia Wilson came out firing for the U.S. women's national team, marking her first international goal since 2024 with a stunning second-minute finish against Brazil in Sao Paulo. Unfortunately for Emma Hayes' side, it all came tumbling down from there as the defense unraveled in a 2-1 defeat, extending the USWNT's winless streak in Brazil to four games.
Houston Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell has been called into U.S. women’s national team camp as an injury replacement for Manchester United’s Phallon Tullis-Joyce ahead of two June friendlies against Brazil. Tullis-Joyce was ruled out after suffering an injury during the World Sevens Football tournament in London, opening the door for Campbell’s return.
The U.S. women's national team won the three-game series against Japan 2-1, with dominant performances from Lindsey Heaps and Claire Hutton, and some less than impressive showings from a surprising few.
The USWNT beat Japan 3-0 on Friday night, fueled by a goal and assist from center back sub Kennedy Wesley and a strike from Rose Lavelle. The result secured a 2-1 edge in the rare three-game series, as manager Emma Hayes’ “game on” message translated into a sharp performance in Commerce City, Colo.
The USWNT will look to close out final game of three-game series against Japan, and after two games, and a 1-1 record, will enter Friday's match with experience, learnings, and something to play for.
