This #USMNT camp felt like the first time we saw Mauricio Pochettino’s system to its full potential. High intensity, pressing to win the ball quickly, enjoying possession of the ball — and most importantly, scoring goals!

That run by Marta to ice this game was absolutely incredible. Big players make big plays in big games. An absolute legend — and she set up a beautiful moment for her teammate Luana.
The reigning NWSL champions continue their push for back-to-back title wins after beating Seattle. Next up: semifinals 😈🍊

Love a Liverpool win. Any Liverpool win. Grinding out a result leaves you feeling differently than the exhilaration of a late match-winner — but they got the job done. And when you’re defending a title, all that matters is standing on business. #YNWA
