Players from USWNT and England wore teal armbands, a show of solidarity for survivors of sexual abuse, including those mentioned in the report by former U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates. The latest column from nrarmour:
England beat the Americans 2-1 on Friday night, thanks to a penalty by Georgia Stanway and dubious video review that pulled back a fun goal by Trinity Rodman. But as coach Vlatko Andonovski had said Thursday, the result of this game wasn’t important. The Americans never like to lose, but it’s all about getting ready for next summer’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Also before the game, England recognized members of its 1972 team, the first to play after a 50-year ban on women playing soccer was lifted. It was a good reminder that for all the work there is still left to be done, women – the U.S. women, women's sports, women in general – have come so far in such a short time. And we are all the better for it.
Fifty years ago, women in England wouldn't have been allowed near their national field. Four days ago, a report showed that there are still some who think it's OK to diminish and demean women, believing they're entitled to their bodies and souls. But on Friday, the U.S. and England women played the game they love so much, with a sold-out crowd cheering them on.
