Ref blows the whistle, to dismay of USWNT players. Brazil come from behind to win 2-1. Wilson scores first USWNT goal as a mom, joining a long list of all-time US scoring moms. The Americans have not beaten Brazil IN Brazil since 1997 — maybe they can change that stat next Tue?

The 2022 @sandiegowavefc might have something to say about that ESPN stat. First 10 SD regular-season games: 1g at HOU 4g vs GFC 2g vs CHI 0g at LOU 1g at NC 0g at SEA 2g at KC 2g vs POR 1g vs SEA 3g at GFC 16 goals! #Regular_season" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_San_…

Just one thought on US men's World Cup roster — what happened to the previous heralded depth of the American "goalkeeper union"? This is the first US World Cup roster (men or women) since 1950 to feature an uncapped GK.

Had to dive into my archive of old standings charts to find this — last time @utahroyalsfc.com was #1 in standings at end of a match week was May 2019! Note that #1 Royals face current #2 Portland next week in PDX. It will be UTA unbeaten streak vs POR home unbeaten streak.
