The USWNT is undefeated when Emma Hayes wears the Hello Kitty hat 🎀
Really good learning window for the USWNT. Appropriate amount of struggle against a really good team, big emotional response in game 3, Hutton for example is going to point to this week for a long time I think
Japan heads home with 3 hard fought matches against a highly competitive USWNT squad under their belt. With creative chances, a slew of incredible saves, the Nadeshiko are truly a force to be reckoned with 🇯🇵

FULL TIME: #USWNT 3, Japan 0
Strong ending to 3-game series v Japan, which the U.S. ends with a 2-1 edge in wins. Both those wins come with more of a first-choice XI. A lot to like about that window overall. The idea of the US consistently dictating play/60%+ possession v Japan? Identity overhaul.
A 3-0 WIN FOR THE USWNT 🇺🇸
After Tuesday, the squad was hungry for goals—and found them: a Naomi Girma header, a Rose Lavelle breakaway and Kennedy Wesley notching her 1st international goal. A game to remember in Lindsey Heaps' home state to close out the window against a skilled Japan side.
ROSE ON THE RUN TO DOUBLE THE LEAD ‼️
Trinity Rodman finds Rose Lavelle to give USWNT the 2-0 lead vs Japan.

Another chilly one, but this time the #USWNT got the result they were looking for against Japan.

USWNT WIN THE SERIES WITH JAPAN! A 3-0 SERIES DECIDING WIN!
Kennedy Wesley, what a way to score her FIRST goal for the USWNT 1️⃣⚽️
Really promising performance from the USWNT but hard to know if it’s real unless we see them play Japan again
Kennedy Wesley’s first USWNT goal 🥹
And Kennedy Wesley adds a goal of her own on a corner kick as the #USWNT pours it on. 3-0. Goal + assist for Wesley tonight as a centerback in all of 20 minutes on the field.
The attacking talent in the USWNT pool right now is absurd
Edit: The 19 minute stretch every USWNT supporter had been waiting for.
Did. Not. Disappoint.
Kennedy Wesley having herself a day.
A couple USWNT moves that suddenly slowed down in the first half had me thinking about this moment
Textbook transition from the #USWNT. Wesley wins the ball and simultaneously plays one-touch to Heaps, who turns and finds Rodman, who hits the through ball to Lavelle making the central run from deep. 2-0 #USWNT

This USWNT is so nasty. Love, LOVE, how they've rebuilt and rebounded since 2023.
hooooooooo boy
#uswnt
Judging by their reactions when their teammates score, this USWNT REALLY like playing together. The joy for each other is nice to see.
Current players who were once getting large chunks of USWNT minutes are now not. Wonder if the coaching Armas is effecting that. Expected at least one to be in the game by now.
Impressive save by Dickey from a just as impressive shot by Japan. #USWNT
82' Two USWNT subs. Girma and Hutton out, Yohannes and Reale in.
