More from Parsons: 'When I was getting ready to play France in the Euros, they had to choose between Malard or (Sarr). All the Dutch staff, no one wanted (to play) Ouley because she can come with feet, she can beat you in behind, she can dribble.'

Mike Norris said he hasn't had a chance to check in with the medical team on Sophia Smith, but confirms it is a knee injury. #BAONPDX

Settling in to watch my first Inter Messi (not a typo) game. Not mad at all that it’s an Open Cup semifinal commentated by Ray Hudson

we may root against each other at the World Cup but in the end we are all just trudging through SYD with our lil visa merchandise bags as our personal carryon item

so, and this is probably just dark humor to cope, I have a perfect record in this tourno bc every team I've been assigned to in knockouts has been eliminated. after US, I flipped over to Japan. then assigned to Sweden. then Australia. it's me. i'm the Melby.

How does Sarina Wiegman manage? A peak behind the curtain of her process:

📔Plans A, B and C
⛔️Shutting down leaks
😠That one time she got mad
🏆 Her old red bra as an in-camp contest prize
🤔 Difficult decisions
💃Not a rock star

whenever i see renard vs gorry

describing the energy this #AUS crowd brings to this match is going to challenge me to come up with new metaphors — it's simply earth-shattering

Kosovare Asllani after winning the quarterfinal against Japan: 'It's so nice when you hear the ABBA songs after the game.' I asked if she had any requests; she said she loves Lay All Your Love On Me. #FIFAWWC
