The United States women’s national team ended 2024 with their unlikeliest win of the calendar year on Tuesday with a 2-1 victory vs. Netherlands despite being dominated most of the game. The game was played in Hague.

In what was Alyssa Naeher’s final game with the Stars and Stripes the 36-year-old goalkeeper had one of her busiest 90 minutes. The Dutch had total control of the first half outshooting the USWNT 14-1 and opening the scoring in the 15th minute.

USWNT vs Netherlands highlights and takeaways

The United States women’s national team drew England 0-0 in front of a packed Wembley Stadium on Saturday during a friendly. The game saw a tactical chess match between the head coaches as well as a Lindsey Horan bicycle kick attempt.

USWNT fans were brutal online toward the star U.S. midfielder as she failed to make an impact on the game.

The 30-year-old captain looked sluggish in midfield, had several wayward passes that missed the mark, scored a goal while offside and of course, the bicycle kick attempt.

Alyssa Naeher, one of the most accomplished goalkeepers in U.S. women's national team history, has announced her retirement from international soccer, ending a distinguished career that spanned over a decade.
