Triple Espresso is reunited at a key moment for Emma Hayes’ USWNT, but Riley Jackson’s rise and an open goalkeeper race headline GOAL's key takeaways from the June call-ups.

U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes named a 26-player roster for the USWNT’s pair of June friendlies against Brazil, with Sophia Wilson, Trinity Rodman and Mallory Swanson - the attacking trio known as “Triple Espresso” - reunited on the same squad for the first time since helping the Americans win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

From Lindsey Heaps’ bittersweet Lyon farewell to Emily Fox’s standout Arsenal campaign and mixed Chelsea seasons for Alyssa Thompson and Naomi Girma, GOAL ranks the top USWNT players in Europe.

US Women's National Team and Chelsea defender Naomi Girma sat down with the Soccer Girl Podcast to discuss the pressures of elite football, the evolution of the women's game and the deeply personal motivation behind her mental health advocacy.
