An amazing Alyssa Thompson goal vs Iceland opened the scoring for the United States women’s national team in their 3-1 victory on Thursday. The goal also marked Thompson’s first for the Stars and Stripes.
The USWNT went up against a compact and feisty Iceland side in their first game since the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics in August.
The United States women’s national team have incredible chemistry and get along great when international team camps come along.

Alex Morgan’s professional soccer career is over as she walked off the field for one last time on Sunday in an emotional farewell. On the international stage she finishes her career with 224 appearances for the United States women’s national team and 123 goals.

The USWNT never lost a game that Alex Morgan scored in.
An honor at a Washington Nationals game proved costly for standout Washington Spirit midfielder Croix Bethune.
The U.S. national team player was placed on the season-ending injury list on Wednesday after sustaining a torn meniscus away from training last week, the team announced.
Spirit coach Jonatan Giraldez filled in the rest of the story: Bethune was injured while throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at a Nationals game.
