LONDON - Sam Kerr's superb first-half goal gave Chelsea a 1-0 home win over Manchester United that saw them climb past the Red Devils to the top of the Women's Super League after a tight, tense encounter at Kingsmeadow on Sunday.

For the first time in history the National Women’s Soccer League will be available on EA Sports’ FIFA video game.

Alyssa Thompson made history in January when she was the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NWSL draft and the first player ever drafted out of high school. The 18-year-old phenom has already appeared for the USWNT and played her first game for Angel City on Wednesday night.
Angel City defeated Club América 3-0 at BMO Stadium in a club friendly. Thompson was given her first start and immediately made an impact just five minutes into the game.

With just over 130 days to go until the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the hype within the host nations has already reached fever pitch. Australia's Matildas open play on July 20 against Ireland with a crowd of over 80,000 expected in Sydney.
The excitement around the event has only been amplified by the team's recent performances on the pitch, where Australia's riding a seven-game win streak that's included triumphs over Sweden, Spain and Denmark.
El Real Oviedo Femenino no pierde las esperanzas de evitar el descenso en la Primera Federación (segunda categoría de España) y menos luego de la tónica remontada que lograron ante el CD Juan Grande, en la cual la mexicana Tatiana Flores resultó siendo fundamental, luego de convertir su primer gol como futbolista profesional.
Flores, seleccionada Sub-20 del Tri y actualmente a préstamo en el Oviedo desde las academias del Chelsea, ingresó de cambio en la segunda parte y le bastaron cinco minutos para demostrar que su oportunismo puede ser vital en el objetivo de la salvación.
France captain Wendie Renard said on Friday that she will not play at this year's Women's World Cup to preserve her mental health, with fellow internationals Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani following suit.

She has 142 caps for France and plays for French side Olympique Lyonnais.
The expectations for the United States women’s national team are about as high as they get for any team. The best evidence of the astronomically high bar for the USWNT is the coverage of their 2023 SheBelieves Cup triumph.
Despite getting three-straight wins against No. 6 Canada, No. 11 Japan and No. 9 Brazil while only conceding once, the consensus is that there’s still lots of work to do and roster spots to figure out.
