Trinity Rodman is not slowing down and continues to be in hot-form in 2024.

U.S. women’s national team forward, Trinity Rodman, scored a fantastic solo goal to ignite the Washington Spirit’s comeback win against Portland Thorns on Saturday.

The 22-year-old received the ball at the edge of the box, faked a shot, took on two defenders and hit a perfect low-driven shot to put the score level.

Alex Morgan lived her last-ever professional soccer game, as she made her final career appearance for the San Diego Wave in their NWSL match against North Carolina Courage on Sunday.

Despite the extreme heat wave in Southern California this weekend, fans in San Diego filled the seats of Snapdragon Stadium, eager to watch the U.S. women’s national team legend say goodbye to her 13-year career.

Alex Morgan will play her final soccer game on Sunday with San Diego Wave FC and won’t ever make a return to the field. In a Friday press conference, the United States women’s national team legend said she had no plans of perusing coaching.

“I don’t think coaching is in my future,” Morgan said. “I’ve found my calling in investing in women’s sports and doing as much as I can to give as big as a platform to women’s sports as possible.”

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.

One of the greatest United States women’s national team players of all time is calling it a career. Alex Morgan will play her final game on Sunday as the star striker announced in a four-minute video on social media Thursday.

Morgan had two big announcements in her retirement video as she revealed she’s pregnant with a second a child.

“This is also not the retirement video I expected when I initially thought I was going to do this. Because Charlie’s going to be a big sister. I’m pregnant,” Morgan revealed.

The nominees for the Ballon d’Or (best soccer player of the year) were released on Wednesday and five American women were named to the 30-player shortlist. Shockingly, star defender Naomi Girma wasn’t one of the five.

The Ballon d'Or is an annual award determined by French magazine "France Football."

Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson, Lindsey Horan and Alyssa Naeher were the five USWNT players nominated for the prestigious award.
