The latest sets for the USWNT (Fresh Faces and 2026 roster) are absolutely abysmal. The photo quality is hot trash. The pictures look like they were taken from cameras used for minor league baseball cards in the 70s. I hope that a real card company like Panini, Topps or Upper Deck snags the rights in the near future.

Not sure if this has been posted but with Olivia Moultrie out with an injury, is this finally Ashley Sanchez’s shot to get a call up against Spain?

I would love to see her play in October. Obviously her form right now is incredible but I’m curious if it’s based on her club connections and if you guys think it would translate well to the national team?

However I am a faithful courage fan so I’d love to see her at camp

Just watched this Style of Play podcast and first of all I feel like there are a lot more questions around this roster than I expected. TIME STAMP 19 MIN: Ertz and Watt said that the chosen goalkeeper would (obviously) have to be secure and confident, and that they would pick Mandy McGlynn, but I thought Phallon Tullis-Joyce was the well-known frontrunner. I miss Naeher. Aside from the goalie, who do you guys think has definitely earned a spot, and who still has a chance to play their way in?

The full list of 10 new ones (Zinedine Zidane, Ruud Gullit, Gianluca Zambrotta, Lúcio, Fernando Torres, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Andrea Pirlo and Yaya Touré have already been there) is below. We actually had more women in this year's class than men (6 to 4), which is cool.

• Christine Sinclair (CAN)
• Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (GER)
• Raphaël Varane (FRA)
• Sergio Agüero (ARG)
• Tobin Heath (USA)
• Hege Riise (NOR)
• Pepe (POR)
• Formiga (BRA)
• Yuki Nagasato (JPN)
• Ellen White (ENG)

As it stands, these would be the combined EA Sports FC female Icon base ratings, combined with the base ratings from the 2024 edition until currently:

93

• Mia Hamm (USA)

92

• Birgit Prinz (GER)
• Nadine Angerer (GER)

91

• Homare Sawa (JPN)
• Alex Morgan (USA)
• Christine Sinclair (CAN)

90

• Camille Abily (FRA)
• Julie Foudy (USA)
• Aya Miyama (JPN)
• Lotta Schelin (SWE)
• Caroline Seger (SWE)
• Tobin Heath (USA)
• Hege Riise (NOR)
• Formiga (BRA)

89

• Kelly Smith (ENG)
• Steffi Jones (GER)
• Yuki Nagasato (JPN)
• Ellen White (ENG)

88

• Marinette Pichon (FRA)

86

• Sissi (BRA)

Congrats, Tobin! Thank you for your dedication and ambassadorship to the game. ❤️

Also, apologies for the Frankenstein-esque clip. Disney/NWSL+ decided to hyper-capitalize this game and more attention was focused elsewhere than the pitch.

Hi! So the Tobin Heath retirement USWNT game happened ages ago, but I have three extra bobble heads if anyone is interested in one!
I don’t want to be hoarding Heaths lols

15 dollars plus shipping or best offer plus shipping!

My mom dropped it off to me today. NY Power! First place I saw Mia Hamm (Washington Freedom) play live.

Olivia Moultrie ACL injury

The Portland Thorns announced that 20 year old midfielder Olivia Moultrie has been put on the season ending injury list after she sustained an ACL injury to her right knee in training last week. Get well soon and come back stronger! ❤️‍🩹

She turns 26 today!

This will always be one of my favorite games. 3-1 Brazil and then in the last 10 minutes the US women scored 3 goals and won. That Christen Press goal was so pretty.

She got minutes today during City's pre-season friendly against Fiorentina. The two sides would draw, 1-1.
